Real Wedding: Evana & Chinedu
I am so excited about today's featured wedding....it reflects the "Contemporary Wedding Style"......chic...modern...swanky...clean lines! Evana & Chinedu...they are truly a beautiful couple and their inner beauty and love for their culture and their family and friends is expressed throughout their celebration...I feel as though I have known them for years...Evana is the sweetest...such a beautiful lady! Their wedding story was captured by the amazingly talented and fabulous Fred Egan.....Fred and I spoke right before he went to shoot their wedding and he told me that I was going to absolutely love it and he was oh-so-right!! Let's get started with Part I of our 3 Part Feature......trust me...you're going to love it! Enjoy!
Our featured couple...Chinedu & Evana!
I asked Evana how she and Chinedu met....."We met in 2004 at a "wedding after party" in Maryland. It was his cousin's wedding...she is friends with my cousin which is how I ended up attending the wedding in the first place. I was walking by and Chinedu stuck up a conversation with me. We exchanged numbers...he called a few weeks later. We hit it off and became good friends, but he wasn't settling for that! The hot pursuit started and the rest is history"!
Evana is so beautiful...what a smile!!!
I asked Evana to share the story on how she found her gorgeous Pronovias gown..."I had been looking on-line, but hadn't quite found "the dress" yet. Someone mentioned Pronovias and I decided to go check them out. Once I clicked on the Manuel Mota Collection and the first gown appeared on the page...I fell in love. Next step...an appointment at the Pronovias salon in New York...I tried it on and "TA DA"....a bride was born! Just to be sure, I did try on a few other gowns, but none of them brought the glow to my face like my dress did! It was perfect...simple....vintage inspired...romantic and beautiful!
Evana is so elegant...this is my favorite image...has a vintage and romantic feel to it...Great Shot Fred!
The handsome groom Chinedu...looking so GQ!
Beautiful black and white image!
Fred thank you SO much for sharing Evana & Chinedu's wedding with us and a huge thanks to Evana and Chinedu....check back later guys for Part II.....more beautiful "eye candy"!
