I n April, Shametria and Tyrika eloped in Las Vegas. It was truly a celebration just for them, as only one other person even knew they were getting married.
After the ceremony, the couple journeyed to Wetlands Park for a gorgeous photo session to honor their lifelong commitment to one another.
Even more, all of the attire—the dress, the veil, the suit, the slippers—came from Amazon.com.
“Being able to capture their special day as one of the highlights of my career,” wrote photographer Sarah Jay. “Both ladies were nervous and emotional and so beautiful. Queens and power women for sure!”
