Michael & Charlene: Houston event photographer

Michael and Charlene are another one of those sweet couples that make you just elated to be around.  Like Kitra and Terrance, theirs is not a shy, young romance, but a sophisticated love story.  Michael and Charlene were married 5 years ago and have already begun their family.  As Charlene told me in our consultation, "A lot of people get married, and spend a lot of money on a great big wedding right away, but we decided to wait until we had a little more money to do it right."

That is exactly what happened.  It seems Charlene has been preparing for this day her whole life... she has been to cosmetology school, is trained in event planning and even has her own catering business!  Yes, she did her own hair, make up AND catered her own wedding!  (Charlene is known as "Superwoman" in various parts around the world.)

I loved the classy feel to the all black and white wedding... and particularly the special touch of switching the black and white between the bride and groom!  (Why be the same when you can be different?)

This group was prepared to dance the night away, and Charlene even had a costume-change before getting down on the dance floor!  Never a bad thing to be prepared.

Yep... she did that herself- in about 5 seconds!

Charlene promised herself she wouldn't cry... but don't we all?



The ever multi-tasking bride

Charlene wasn't the only one with tears in her eyes-
