Elton Anderson bio picture

About Me

I'm a Miami-based photographer but love to travel for the perfect picture!

I like to think I have a very classic style, with a youthful twist. 

I think a wedding is the most amazing experience to capture on film

I'm a Nikon user, an Apple lover and Nike Fanatic!

You will always see an issue of GQ, Complex and Vogue Magazine on my coffee table (Yes, Vogue has some of the most amazing photographers ever!) 

I run daily, not to stay in shape but to support my eating habit.

L-10 is my nickname, get it... EL-TEN (Elton)

There is beauty in everyone and everything.... my goal is to capture it.

NICOLE + JEVON // ENGAGEMENT

Believe it or not, this love story dates back nearly 15 years. A time when Nicole and Jevon’s biggest concern was what mom packed in their lunch box. Nicole hates to admit it but at the time she had a HUGE crush on Jevon, while Jevon freely admits that he barely even noticed her (yeah right). Their story could have ended there but you know how fate  is… Relentless. And as fate would have it, their paths did cross again but this time it was at a train station in Princeton, NJ. The girl that Jevon vaguely remembered from middle school was now a beautiful, poised woman. The woman he would soon fall in love with and make his wife. For Nicole, the childhood crush had come around full circle and this time it was in her favor.

Their engagement shoot, much like their story, was a fateful adventure in itself. We had to battle traffic, rain and security guards (atleast 3) but then again, there is nothing like New York and nothing like this couple. They both happen to be pastors so I’m sure we had a higher power on our side. :-)  Seriously though, this couple is blessed beyond measure and I feel blessed to be able to capture the love between them. Enjoy.

**If you couldn’t tell already Mr. Apuje Kalu was Creative Director for the shoot and helped us all navigate through the means streets of New York. Special thanks to Jayar Moten, too.**
