Shelby was stunning, she was wearing her mother's wedding dress from 1984.  It was all lace, and classically beautiful, timeless even.  Her mother clasped her necklace and was holding back tears as her little girl became her own woman right in that moment.  When her Daddy took her hand and led her to the floor for their dance... I had to set my camera down and cry.. not just because this was my baby sister, but because the pure love and joy of our father's face and hers overwhelmed me.  I was blessed to capture all of it.

  I've had a camera in my hand since I was around 6 years old.  My Granny always made sure to have film in her camera every time I visited her. In later years this would prove more valuable than gold when in 1995 she passed away, and the family realized they didn't have many current images of her because she didn't like having her picture taken, except when one happy, silly, and curious little girl wanted to take her picture.  All sorts of coffee drinking, crossword puzzle doing, cooking in her kitchen shots taken from a child's height looking up in awe and love of her Granny. 

  In 2016 I met my husband (The "K" in MK DeLacy, and DeLacy patriarch).  I told him I "take pictures", and he told me that was sweet.  I know, don't come for him yet ladies... (LOL)  As our relationship progressed, so did his love and understanding of photography.  With him I was able to grow as an artist, as he helped me grasp the technical side and how to understand light.  That combined with his graphic design and editing talents took me, and inevitably US, to the next level.

 
Then he joined me in shooting his first wedding, of a high school friend of mine.  He was IN!  We learned that together we had the ability and desire to create something more than pictures of a wedding, but to paint a picture of a sacred, beautiful, and authentic moment, sealing it in time.
