LaKarra & Mathieu celebrate 5 years of marriage with a special photo shoot at the Vizcaya Museum and garden ahead of their second wedding celebration at the Hard Rock Punta Cana, where they first said “I-do” in 2017!
Time flies when you’re in love. Following 5 years of marriage, 2 kids, and almost 17 years of being together, LaKarra and Mathieu took time to celebrate their love with a glamorous photo session in Miami. Captured effortlessly by Muna Coterie member REEM Photography, the couple’s “teenage to grown BLACK love” is on full display.
The luscious garden views of the Vizcaya Museum and Mathieu’s hometown serve as their backdrop. LaKarra looked chic and elevated in a sleek pastel-green dress. She followed her first glam look with a fun and flirty yellow mini-dress to add a pop of unexpected color. Mathieu was equally a stylish as his wife wearing a sharp matching pastel suit followed by a navy blue ensemble.
The glam photo session is a testament to their commitment, friendship, and love for one another. It is also the perfect prelude to their upcoming second wedding celebration on July 8th, 2023, where they will return to where they first said I-do at the Hard Rock Punta Cana.

How they met…
In college.
The proposal…
It was a Christmas morning proposal. In front of our then baby girl and family Mathieu proposed.

Mathieu put together a compilation of videos from all of our family near and far that couldn’t make it in person.

For our first date, we went to the movies as college kids and Applebees. Balling on a budget.
Favorite thing to do as a couple…
Our favorite thing to do as a couple is obtain multiple streams of income for our family and binge watching classic movies and 90s TV shows.

As a destination bride things can be SUPER stressful. Planning things from miles and miles away can be a challenge but it’s all an experience I would never trade for the world.
