Green Angels Wedding: LaDane and Mawuli

Last Saturday, at the gorgeous home nestled on the grounds of Green Angels, an amazingly beautiful woman married a "quiet leader", as his brother (and best man) so eloquently called him.

There is something about Mawuli that you love, but you just can't put a finger on. You think, maybe it's his bright, beaming smile.  You think maybe it's the easiness he exudes or the way he just kind of stepped in and did whatever was necessary to make sure LaDane was taken care of and worry-free.  And you know that it's something profoundly compelling when you see your bride calmly but uncontrollably flowing a river of tears (narrowly escaping the ruin of a make-up masterpiece) after reading merely a few lines of a card penned by her beloved.  Still you can't put a finger on it. Then, as the day is winding down, and the best man is toasting the bride and groom, the epiphany comes when he sums it all up by saying that Mawuli is a "quiet leader".

LaDane is a breath of fresh air.  She 's got the perfect smile to match his, and a sweetness about her that could make even an enemy to be at peace. She is a girl's girl and a friend. Somehow you know that a girl that would sleep outside on the sidewalk in front of a shoe store with her beau in order to snatch up a limited edition pair of Nikes, is a rare jewel, and that these two will make magic together. She is the picture of calm and beauty in a suite of hustle and bustle where the girls are getting ready. She's adorable without a stitch of make-up. She is stunning and regal in a wedding dress, a bird cage and a pair of BHLDN's (or Kate Spades).  And as the sun sets at Green Angels, two of God's finest say, "I do".

LaDane and Mawuli, thank you so much for trusting us to document your special day. Your day will forever be the day that Elizabeth Lynn Photography opened it's doors. We are eternally grateful!  We love you.

Love,

Janna {Elizabeth} and Staci {Lynn}
