Deshawn and Charles had a true teenage love affair when they met in high school. Always the gentleman Charles a senior, asked Deshawn’s parents if he could take their freshman daughter out on a date. Little did they know that date would be the beginning of a beautiful romance. The couple drifted apart after high school, but they eventually connected again on Facebook. Charles knew he wanted to surprise Deshawn when he popped the question, so he asked Deshawn to go to dinner. When they arrived at their destination, he opened her car door and got down on one knee. Deshawn was upset about Charles getting his suit they had shopped for dirty until she saw the ring and fully realized what was happening. To celebrate their engagement this couple wanted to have a fun and laid back engagement session. Their photographer Cameron Bertuzzi of Bertuzzi Photography, shied away from a lot of posed pictures and instructed the couple to just be themselves. This was great advice because in every picture their genuine love for life and for each other shines through. We look forward to seeing pictures from their upcoming April nuptials. Congrats!

How They Met
The first time I ever laid my eyes on my fiancé was in high school in 2002, I was a senior and she was a freshman. She was a close friends to my younger sister and the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I asked her on a date to the movies and she gladly accepted but had to ask her parents if it was ok. She called me back later on that day and told me that it was ok. We went on a couple of dates and had a great time but as all young love do. they fall apart. We eventually rekindled on Facebook.
The Proposal
Charles came to visit me in Louisiana. Charles called and told me to help him pick out a suit because he wanted to go out. We went shopping at 5 different stores and at the end of the day we were worn out. The next day he told me we were going to dinner and to make sure I did my hair and makeup. He also told me to wear something nice because we were going somewhere fancy. So I got dressed up and put on my Sundays best.. I was casket sharp lol We arrive at Carabbas and I’m thinking I could have wore jeans for this. Charles comes to open my door and he immediately falls to the ground. I was about to have a cow…… I was thinking we just brought those pants get up!!!! Until he pulled out a beautiful white carat diamond ring!!! He ask me to marry him and I SAID YES!!!!! I jumped up and down and almost did a cartwheel. But it was not official. Not yet… I had to post this on Facebook lol
The Engagement Session
I wanted our engagement session to really express our love. We really did not have a theme but I wanted to have a good time. Our engagement photographer decided that we start at our home because it truly defined who we were as a couple.
Their Photographer
I was on Charles’ Facebook one day and he had a friend that has used Cameron Bertuzzi. I immediately went to his site and fell in Love! I knew that he was the photographer for me. I love his style. It was more realistic shots instead of posing which can sometimes get real cheezy. The whole time he kept saying just act like I’m not here and just be yourself. He showed up and immediately started shooting. He really made us feel comfortable.
Looking Forward to the Big Day
I am really looking forward to becoming Mrs. Charles Wynn III. He is the most selfless caring person that I have ever met. I can’t wait to enjoy this day with our family and friends. I am a fun person and I want my wedding to be fun. I want games love and laughter to be present.
Wedding Advice
It has been great! We are having a destination wedding in Tampa,FL and one of the 1st things we did was hire a wedding planner! Daryl Wilson of D’Concierge Events. He has been awesome. He helps me with everything. The hardest thing was finding a venue being that we were in Texas it took a lot. I eventually just flew down because it was just to much to judge from the pictures

This has got to be the best E-Session I’ve ever seen! They’re not just smiling at the camera and it doesn’t look staged. You can feel their personalities and love through the screen. I adore this and them!
