Destination DC - A Same Sex Marriage

Family matters, and it's always great when couples bring their kids to their private destination wedding in Washington, DC.  Going beyond that, Erin and Cassandra even brought their unique style and sweet personality.  From officiating their wedding, meeting their kids, to shooting their photos, I enjoyed every moment I spent working with this fabulous couple. 

Congratulations to Erin and Cassandra!

Trash the Dress Session in Baltimore Maryland (Part 1)

With Aspiring DC / Baltimore Wedding Photo-Artist Starlene Joyner Burns

Those of you who have been keeping up with me Starlene Joyner Burns, DC Wedding Officiant; on Facebook know that for the past 1.5 years I have been diligently studying photography.   With these new skills, I have added a photography section to SJB Ministries LLC.  Yes, many mega churches have a photography ministry.   And since I have talent in the arts, I rolled up my artist sleeves; and made my transition from fine arts (sculpting, painting, drawing); to digital images.

So I will share many of my DC elopement couples here, a little classy boudoir (for those who wish to heal from past pain or gift their partner with some beautiful alluring images of themselves). 

Some people may think that a ministry should not promote relationship healing or strengthening through sexy imagery of their spouse.  But in pre-wedding coaching, sex is a topic that is always discussed.  And fidelity is strongly advised.  

Sexy images will not destroy a healthy trusting relationship, but they will send a strong message.
