Chika + Michael | Camelot by Martin’s Wedding

Sep 2009 Weddings

This is one wedding I will never forget documenting. The first time I met Michael and Chika they showed me their wedding day plans. I said, “No problem”. I am so thankful, Chika and Michael, for letting us to be part of their special and memorable day.

The joining between Chika and Michael is not by accident, its by divine intervention. The super cool guy, Michael, was about to go to Africa to find a mate not knowing that his soul mate is just a few feet away. Check out their personal website at http://www.chikaandmichaelforever.com

Also would like to thank all the wonderful vendors that made this day so special. All wedding pictures here and the fabulous e-session here.

I have so many favorites from this wedding. Below are ‘some’ of my random favs.

…just getting ready for the big day. At this point Michael just want to get married.

The groom

…I had so much fun with the guys.

Courtney’s dress…

Baby Courtney will be two this month. Happy Birthday!!!!! Isn’t she lovely?

It took two bridesmaids and a photographer to capture this image…

This image is amazing. You can read her thoughts, really…

and here comes the gorgeous bride…

The ceremony was held at St. Mark Evangelist Church in Beltsville, MD..

..I had to showcase Courtney’s grand entrance..

I had so much fun with the wedding party. Pay attention to the bridesmaids and groomsmen. I told them to throw their bouquet up and the groomsmen to do any gesture.

…something different, something new…

The reception decor was designed by BCG Events.

The attention to details is just phenomenon…

…another one of my favorite first dance…
