Our Wedding

We met through our good friends, Ebony and Frank. Though we saw each other at their gatherings, we didn’t talk much at first. That changed when we matched on a dating app and quickly realized how much we had in common. Our connection grew, and one of our first dates was a photo walk—a perfect start since we both share a love for photography.

How we met 

Fun Facts

John and Lenette are both passionate photographers and plan to start a business together. After marrying John, Lenette’s initials will fittingly become LLC—perfect for their entrepreneurial journey.   Lenette’s son, AJ, is pursuing the same Bachelor’s degree in Visual Art with a focus on Computer Graphics as John—and from the same college.   Adding to the family connections, John’s brother, Kevin, teaches math at AJ’s former high school.   In a fun twist, John’s friend April shares a middle name with Lenette—LaNette.   Lenette and DJ also have a special bond—they share the same birthday, July 31st. Every year, we celebrate their birthdays together.   John and Lenette’s brand preferences couldn’t be more different—John is all about Apple, Adidas, and Nikon, while Lenette is loyal to Samsung, Nike, and Canon.   Unbeknownst to John and Lenette, Tiara had been a part of both of their lives, years before they knew each other.   Lenette’s son and April’s daughter graduate from college on the same day this year in May.

Travel

Disney World is an incredible experience, but my favorite part was Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge—it truly felt like stepping into the movies. 

Disney World

This place is so much fun! Our favorite ride was Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, with the Jurassic World VelociCoaster as a close second. Both were absolutely thrilling!

Disney Springs is a great place to visit because it offers a blend of shopping, dining, entertainment, and a chance to experience a bit of Disney magic without the need for park tickets, with free parking and a relaxed atmosphere.
