Capture Your Romance Special!

Mr. And Mrs. John A Harris

The very first time Antwyne and I saw each other was in 1989. I had just graduated from high school working my first job at Piggly Wiggly grocery store. He had come to the store with a friend to see his girlfriend. I worked as a cashier. As I was ringing up groceries Antwyne stood there watching me while he waited on his friend. I could see him out of my peripheral vision. He picked up a snickerbar and started to walk toward my register to purchase it. The closer he got to the register the more scared he was. He expressed it as “getting weak in the knees” so he put the candy bar down and walked out.

He told his friend that he had just seen the most beautiful woman in the world, and how he regreted not saying anything to me. He told his friend that he probably would never see me again, and if he did he was going to “throw the whole kitchen sink at me.” (A figure of speech meaning that I wouldn’t get away the next time) We met once more September 2006 at another store. We both said at the same time “hey you look familiar” we began to talk about where we may have seen each other, and believe it or not he started talking about the incident at Piggly Wiggly and we both started laughing as we are still today.

Well to make a long story short, he said, “let me give you my cell number”. Then he wanted to vent about what he was going through at the time, and I said, “Well I’ll probably see you around. But, I could empathize with him because I was going through a similar situation too. The next year 2007 we became best friends. “Real close friends”, and we knew very soon we were going to become as ONE!

Finally 20 years later, September 26, 2009 in Palm Coast Florida on the Sundancer Yacht, we had been redeemed, we were rescued. I became Mrs. John Antywne Harris. My baby made my dreams come true. I had the most beautiful wedding a bride could have. Click here to see our Wedding Photographs

I can truly say, “Thank you Jesus” this is my soul mate. Visual Statements Photography and Video created special memories for us that will last a lifetime of happiness. We are still looking at the pictures laughing and talking about the good times we had. They are Awesome!!

Mayfair Wedding

From The Eyes of the Bride.

The day I met Geoff I knew something amazing was going to happen. When Geoff proposed to me on his birthday I was so excited to plan our wedding. As an event planner I knew exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it done. I had big dreams, huge plans and little time. Despite the advice of my family and friends I wanted to do everything myself. Yes, everything! Even my cake. Luckily, I don't know much about great photography so I called on Visual Statements Photography and Video to make my dream wedding memories beautiful and they did!

Over 90% of our 120 guests were from out of town, so I was also the travel planner. All the stress, planning and lack of sleep had not hit me, I was running on pure adrenaline. Everything was going so fast, I slipped on my dress, wrestled with my veil and then-it hit me. I'm getting married. I almost broke down before I walked down the altar. One year of planning, two hours on hair and make-up and x amount of money later I was not going to ruin this moment with tears. I am going to enjoy this moment. Besides, I did not want the "ugly cry face" in my pictures.

July 3, 2009, was the happiest day of my life. I married my best friend, the one who makes my soul smile. Seven years to the date. And each time (about 5 times a day) I look at my wedding pictures, from Visual Statements Photography and Video, I get the same feeling I felt that day. As vain as it may sound, the photos are the most important part of the day; it's the only thing that won't change with time.

Thank you for helping me capture happiness.

Tyler Fantasy Wedding

Maurice and Penny met one evening while out having dinner and drinks with friends. Their eyes met across a crowded room, and Maurice eventually sent a waitress over to get Penny’s drink order.

Penny was having a diet coke; however Maurice refused to buy her a coke, and insisted that Penny have a glass of wine. Maurice and his friend walked over and introduced themselves shortly thereafter. Maurice and Penny sat as a group and talked and laughed for hours.

Penny was so intrigued, by Maurice’s honesty and character, that Penny jokingly told Maurice that night, 'If I ever get married again, I want my husband to be just like you'. Never in a million years did she really think that the stranger sitting across the table from her would eventually become the man that she would fall so deeply in love with and marry.

Maurice and Penny wanted a very romantic, fairytale wedding and Endless Summer Villa gave us that and so much more. Once they decided on a destination wedding, they wanted a villa that would set the mood for the whole week. Maurice is a romantic, and they knew that the place they chose would definitely need to convey that romance. The name, Endless Summer, of the villa says it all. Their week was like an Endless Summer romance. Although they didn't think it was possible, they fell in love all over again.

Dafuskie Island Wedding - Selissa and Charles

Dafuskie Island Wedding

Selissa and Charles planned their wedding on a private and remote island called Dafuskie Island. When we say private and remote, we mean a trip to South Carolina, a 45 minute boat ride and then a 15 minute bus ride to the resort where the wedding would be held. We must admit it was all worth it in the end!!!
