Deidre + Chauncey Wedding | March 6, 2009

Deidre found her prince and Chauncey found his soul mate. I can say many things about this wedding but the only thing that keeps coming back to me is "eclectic". The way this wedding was planned, it needed to be on a reality TV show. Kudos to the bride and groom as well as Robin Dayton.

Chauncey humbled every man who ever wants or wanted to propose to his bride. He brought his “A-game” to the forefront. This was a wedding that you name it, it was was there with a little bit more included. Money was no object. For those that were at the wedding, I'm sure they will agree. Chauncey even rented the same limo that he proposed to Deidre in. The wedding was held at the Ritz Charles and the reception was held at the Westin Crown Center Hotel. Every object in their wedding had significant meaning and purpose.

Deidre’s dress and the bridesmaids dresses were all hand-made. Deidre’s shoes were purchased in Paris! The groomsmen wore the heck out of those chocolate tuxedos from Men’s Wearhouse Tux. The entire wedding party looked really good.

Congratulations Deidre…you married more than your best friend but your prince charming. I'm just glad that I was there to capture it all.

My hat goes off to my good friends, Digital Odeon Productions and Divine Floral - you all do awesome work!

Hi, Sam. It's Desta at Divine Floral. First our love and congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Dixon. Rob and I have known Deidre for a few years and just met Chauncey during the floral planning. This pair gave new meaning to "being on one accord". They worked so well together to make their day become what they wanted. We've never worked with a groom so passionate and driven to make sure every detail was in place. We are honored to have been chosen to be a part of their team. Thank you for the awesome photo teasers - can't wait to see more! God bless.
