Nene has been a regular presence in my photos from my weddings in the DFW area for the past couple of years as she's been a participant in all but one! I also had the opportunity to meet her husband Emmanuel (then her fiance, of course) as well which is perfect--by the time their wedding rolled around they were more than familiar with how I work. :) I also became familiar with them--namely Nene's easy going nature and Emmanuel's great sense of humor.

Believe it or not, these two have known each other for 17 years and their love has survived all kinds of challenges including an ocean in between them at one point. ;) What a privilege to be a part of a day with almost two decades of buildup! :D

Things started off with the ladies getting ready at the Hilton and the guys prepared across the street at the Marriott Fairfield Inn:

Out of the limo and into the church prior to the ceremony

The bride and her father prepare to walk down the aisle

Here are a couple of shots of the newlyweds enjoying each other's company

This had to be among the most impressive first dances I've ever seen

Nene is an incredible dancer and was enjoying herself all night

One more wedding from the DFW area coming up soon!
(and Nene was there, too! ;) )
