Atlanta Outdoor Vow Renewal by Angel Wings Photography: Natischa and Donnell -Munaluchi Bride

Natischa and Donnell originally married in 2001 during the NBA basketball season, so they were unable to have an actual wedding. To celebrate the strength and longevity of their love, this stunning couple had a luxurious vow renewal ceremony this summer at the breathtaking Chateau Élan in Georgia. Their ceremony was a family affair, which included their children and the groom’s grandmother as the officiant. To add a personal touch the bride, who is a shoe designer, gave away personally designed sandals as a favor. This wedding is full of high end glamour and surprises. The bride received a new car, and R & B singer KeKe Wyatt even performed at their reception. Angel Wings Photography expertly photographed this chic, yet traditional affair. This wedding has been share with our partners at Ebony.com. Be prepared to be inspired by tons of love, and lots of unique wedding ideas.

Description of Event

Our wedding was a very intimate creation that provided you with a piece of who we both are individually as well as together. The planning process was stressful at first as we had to fire our initial wedding planner and retain the services of another in which we were EXTREMELY pleased and LOVED our wedding!

Wedding Style

My dress was purchased in Miami from Chic Parisien Bridal Boutique and it was an amazing Corset Lazaro Gown. I knew exactly the type of dress I wanted and the designer but couldn’t wait to try on gowns. I purchased two additional crystal sashes to be added and placed on my dress, which was placed on by Designer Maria Harper in Atlanta, GA who also created my second dress. My Wedding Style would be traditional with a chic edge. I am a hopeless romantic.

Incorporation of Culture

We did not incorporate culture “per say,” but we did incorporate our family and spirituality. Donnell’s grandmother is a Bishop and she married us.

Most Memorable Part of the Day

Seeing my groom was AMAZING!!! He has his own style, so I was nervous about his attire, but it was him all the way……., my children partaking in the wedding, Me receiving a new ring, a new car, KeKe Wyatt singing, and The violinist….loved him, being with great friends and family…. ughh to much to narrow to just one.

You Make Loving You So Easy

From the Groom…Her spirit!

From the Bride… His heart!
