Hello!! My name is Keith Cephus and I am a lifestyle photographer from Virginia Beach, VA that specializes in weddings, relaxed portraits and professional sports. I am truly blessed to be able to photograph weddings all over the world for some amazing people!
This blog follows both my personal and professional world, and features images from the weddings I photographed, the places I travel and the friends and family members that mean so much to me. It’s basically my own photographic diary, combined with an information source for my current and potential clients. Thanks for stopping by and feel free to drop a comment if you are inspired!
When I first met Jacqui and Daquan in my studio in Norfolk, I knew their engagement session would be special. And when Daquan told me he was a police officer for NYPD, I knew something special was about to take place. Something special indeed as he handcuffed his lovely bride to be on Flatbush Ave!!! Can’t wait to photograph their wedding next year at the Palace in Summerset, NJ next year. Check out some their amazing photos overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge!!
Keith – Daq and I cannot begin to describe the AMAZING photos! They were so moving and soulful… You captured a time that is so incredibly special to us and we are thankful that we found you!
Thank you Jacqui for your kind words. My family and I had an amazing time with you and Daquan. It was the vision that we talked about in Va coming to reality. Thank you for allowing me to capture the essence of the both of you. Can’t wait to photograph your big day at the Palace in Summerset!!!!!

Jacqui & Daquan ‘Believe love is forever and forever you’ll be in love!’ The pics are incredible, esp. the all-white with the four of you, I like that one best! And my 2nd fav is the kissing one with you two almost bustin’ out laughing; sharing an inside joke or something?? It makes me want to laugh when I look at it!

Jacqui i knew you over 30 years and you were like another sister to me. I love the pictures and pray that you and Daquan will always remain best friends and keep a loving relationship. I am married for 12 years now and excited to spend the rest of my life with my husband. I also pray the same for your marriage. Love you and see you at the wedding.

My joy for the both of you is overwhelming. What a beautiful and magnificent couple you both make. Jacqui you are going to make all other brides have to step up their game once they see how gorgeous you are going to look in your bridal gown!!! And, Daquan you are going to be so handsome in your tux.
All I can say, and it will never be enough, is that I wish you, Daquan and your son the most blessed and the best life all of you deservedly will have.
Here’s to eternal bliss!
All the best,
Beverly

Jacqui,
Thank you for sharing these photos with me. We didn’t do engagement pictures, and after seeing these I wouldn’t even bother… how could anyone top YOURS! They are fun, a tad sexy and also really heartwarming, especially the ones with the boys. Congratulations on your new life together, I am sure it will be filled with much love and joy!
Best,
Kristen

You both have left many of us in total awe, coupled with the finest in photography. The 23rd of July, your Wedding Day, was a threefold; your love for each other, your love for your family unit and most of all remembering God’s love.
