Elizabeth & Dewayne at Hotel Monaco in Alexandria

Dewayne & Elizabeth had my kind of wedding:  a gorgeous, relaxed cozy celebration with their closest family and friends.  The day was full of personal touches such as a family friend presiding over their courtyard ceremony and Parent Dances that included both Moms and both Dads!  Dewayne had a huge smile on his face throughout the day and Elizabeth was gorgeous with her porcelain skin and fabulous hair.  It was a joy to photograph this laid-back affair, and I sincerely feel lucky that they invited Wale and I to be there.  Congratulations, Elizabeth & Dewayne!  Have a fabulous time on your honeymoon in Bora Bora!!

Dewayne & Elizabeth had a First Look. Note Elizabeth's Mom enjoying it on the left. :)

Because they saw eachother before the ceremony, we had plenty of time for portraits.  Yay!

This little guy was so cute! He was completely happy as his parents spun him all around the dance floor.
