Desiree & Apelu's Wedding

This was the most beautiful wedding that I have photographed so far.  Desiree is such a gorgeous girl!  She made a beautiful bride.  And I just loved her dress and shoes!
 
I was so touched by their love that I almost cried during the ceremony.  Desiree and Apelu are such an amazing couple, full of love and dreams.  They hired me about a week before the wedding, but I feel as though we've known each other for a long time.  
Desiree's family is amazing, and they definitely made the day one to remember.  

Thank you soo much for letting me be a part of your special day.  I will never forget your wedding day.  YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO PARTY!

Look at that beautiful ROCK!







This is one of my favorite pics of Desiree. 

And this one would be more of an artistic version of the photo above.




This is the flower girl...














This looks like it could be on a magazine cover...

  5. Desi, I was absolutely honored to share the presence of God with you and your husband. No one deserves happiness more -- people who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves! When I moved from FWB, you were always the one that kept me in touch with letters and pictures. I still have all of them. You are beautiful, girl; we are so blessed to know you, and I KNOW that Apelu knows the value of the diamond he's found.

    And OMG, Apelu looks like a model in these pictures...lol! Hi Apelu! It was great partying with you on Saturday night. You have officially earned a caribbean dancehall pass. And I don't give those away gratuitously.

    You two have all of my best...Charise

    These pictures are absolutely AMAZING. They are so moving. They tell the story of a fairly tale. I am seriously considering hiring Wendhy for my wedding. I'm wondering if she will travel if expenses were paid since I'm living in Florida. My firend is absolutely gorgeous and these pictures do nothing but enhance her beauty. I wish Desiree and Apelu the best of luck!

  28. Beautiful Pictures! We regret not having a photographer for both our weddings. We did end up with over 300 pictures though from EVERYONEs camera. Good Luck and God Bless! Hopefully in a year on our 10 year anniversary we will be able to renew our vows and take beautiful pictures like yours!!

  29. Wendhy,

    You did an amazing job and it seemed that no matter where I happened to be or looked both you and your tireless crew were there snapping shots, capturing this once-in-a-lifetime moment. I think I'd be so tired if I had your job.

    Definitely look forward to seeing the rest of the images and once again I apologize for not showing up to the shoot for the groom's party.

    Take care.

  33. I can honestly say when I see your wedding pictures I can just tell how in love the two of you are! Although I've never met Apelu, I can see how much of a good man you have. And yes, girly he is sexy, but he's still the lucky one!

    Hafa Adai and congratulations Apelu and Dez on your wedding! Even I wasn't able to make it, Wendhy was able to capture the essence of the entire event in a way that made it personal to those who were not able to make it... It's all in the detail, and there was no shortage of detail to speak of in her work.. I am amazed at the clarity and depth of the photos, which brought out the best of both Dez as a bride, and Apelu as her husband... In retrospect, a commendable job crowned by the personal touch added by the bride and groom interview... A job well done Wendhy!
    Apelu and Dez, congratulations again!
    Put respetu, your friend Chris LeonGuerrero...

  36. Great pictures Wendy. They all could be magazine covers.

    To the bride and groom
    Desiree and Apelu
    May your hearts beat as one
    And your love be second to none

    Now that you've taken your vows
    And after all is said and done
    The life you've hope for starts now
    To produce a beautiful daughter or son

    Many decisions to be made
    As you venture into a new beginning
    At times you may feel swayed
    To the point of your head spinning

    But never give up hope
    For now you have each other
    To share the bruden and to cope
    With all that life has to offer

    We wish you the best in every way
    Even after your wedding day
    May the journey you embark
    Be always guided by your hearts

    Congratulations to the both of you
    And may your love be everlasting and true

    Love Always,

    Nino

  37. The pictures are beautiful. It needs to be in the front cover of a magazine. I had a great time at the wedding. The ceremony was wonderful and the reception was great. We love you from Samoa.....Mana & Mom

  39. Desiree~ My goodness girl, I've always told you you were gorgeous, now you have Wendhy's pictures to prove it! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and I was so honored to be invited to witness your special day. You, Jessica, and Marlena tried hard to make me cry and I held strong...until I read the interviews...that was the last straw. I wish you and Apelu nothing but the best.

    Apelu~I was sure no one was good enough for my friend. She has worked so hard to take care of everyone her whole life, and deserves no less than perfection. I was sure you wouldn't live up. But, then I met you and was very impressed. While everyone was watching the bride walk down the aisle, I was watching you. The look of passion, strength, adoration, and thankfulness in your eyes solidified my newfound belief that you were Desiree's perfection! Thank you so much for loving Desiree the way she needs to be loved and being her ROCK!!

    I love you both~ Sylvia
