Riana and Chauncy met in 2011 through Chauncy’s sister at his housewarming gathering. The two flirted with each other all night but neither one made a move. Once Riana and Chauncy saw each other at another gathering shortly after that, they decided to go out on a date. Their love has blossomed over the years and now they prepare to become husband and wife. See the details of their elegant engagement session, captured by Brittany Woods of Eden Grace Photos.

Engagement story
Our engagement happened in Sedona, Arizona during an intimate cabin staycation. Chauncy planned a vacation for 4 days and 3 nights where we could enjoy each other’s company and disconnect from our busy lives. The night he proposed, he cooked an amazing dinner and afterwards we played the “Couples” game in front of the fireplace while listening to music. We began dancing when one of our favorite songs came on and before I knew it, Chauncy was on one knee asking if I’d be his dance partner for life as his wife.
What are you most looking forward to about your wedding?
Chauncy: “Watching my gorgeous queen walk down the aisle.”
Rianna: “Cementing our union, finally. Lol”
We both are looking forward to having our loved ones celebrate our love and union while dancing the night away.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
