Michelle & André
I had so much fun taking these pictures. What a sweet couple and man, are they in love!
They were so easy to photograph, being so happy together, they have a permanent smile on their faces. They couldn’t stop laughing..
I did just take this picture a couple of weeks ago, and it’s all green here, but it’s also getting hot in Florida and I can’t help wishing for the gentle fall breeze, so I modified this picture to a fall foliage.
When Michelle looks at her fiance, her eyes sparkle, she radiates joy.
They told me how Andre proposed, he had a friend of Michelle help him set up his plan: she called Michelle to meet her at her family’s restaurant where Andre walked in (in the full of people restaurant), with a boom box on his shoulder playing their song, some roses and an engagement ring, and proposed in front of the crowd…
I asked Michelle to whisper something in Andre’s ear. At first he had a gentle expression, then his smile expanded, and he declared it may be time for them to go home…
My favorite, I think it’s both of their expression, and the soft focus that gives energy and movement to the image.
Arielle,

Wow... true love looks beautiful. Congratulations Soror! Can't wait to share in your joy.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! I wish you great happiness.
Michelle and Andre,
These are pictures that exemplifies how much two people care for one another. So, as you move on to the next phase of your relationship just remember the three C's ( Commitment, Caring and Compromise ). You guys are a lovely couple and I wish you the best.
What a blessing I have been given to be able to share with you this time in your life. You are such a beautiful couple inside and out.
Oh My.......My eyes began to water just viewing the first picture. To find a soul mate, friend, lover, and especially one who loves God is truly an amazing blessing. I have seen Andre bring soooo much life and happiness to Michelle and I know that they are really in love. To have a peaceful loving marriage is hard work, but remember God's Word and obey it and things will always work out.
I love you both,
Leslie......and Baby Huff who I hope will allow me to witness this joyous occasion. :-)
Congratulations to you both! You look so happy together and I am thrilled that you've found your prince, Michelle. I can see that you two will have a lifetime of love together & Andre, I am looking forward to meeitng you!
Michelle and Andre',
Your photos are simply beautiful. I especially love the one where you are holding Andre's face in the palm of your hands and falling back with laughter. That special moment will forever be captured it time.
Michelle, I must say that I have observed you over the years and I know that whatever you do, you give it your all, your best; your heart is in it. With Andre, I know that that has and that will intensify as the love you share grows as one. I pray God's Favor upon you & Andre' and wish you all the joy and blessings anyone could ever hope for. I love you.
Soror Tracy Johnson
So.........Amazing................. I am so very happy for you both! May God continue to abundantly bless you and Andre' as you embark upon this sacred journey. May wisdom, patience, and need I say............... love and humor abound!
Andre, thank you for sharing these photos--they are fantastic! I hope to meet Michelle sometime. She is beautiful. You both look so happy and the love radiates from both of you. I have never seen you look so happy--I guess this is your "happy face". You are a beautiful couple. You are always invited to visit us in Savannah. When I get back to the Gulf Coast, perhaps we can visit.
Rick
From the look in both of your eye's one can tell God has blessed this relationship.
To the photographer - you are magnificent.
To Andre and Michelle - no one could look at this pictures without getting a warm feeling and a smile on their face. You are both so beatiful - radiant really. Love each other this way for the rest of your lives. Bless you.
Love,
Jeannie

First of all congratulations! Seeing true love at work is an amazing thing, so I wish you every joy! These are gorgeous pictures and I think we’re going to have to come up with a new word that describes blissful and happiness on a human face because that’s definitely what I see, perhaps blissiness, lol. Continued Blessings! :-)
My Daughter Michelle and (soon to be) Son-in law Andre,
Words can't express the happiness and joy that the two of you exhibit in these beautiful engagement pictures!! God has blessed both of you with each other.
When I came over to your house and viewed your pictures this past Sunday (June 15), I left there thinking WOW!! A PICTURE IS TRULY WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!! (Arielle, you did a fantastic job!!)
I love both of you very much, and I know that your marriage is one that is/will be "made in heaven". Wedding bells are going to ring!! I know that the two of you are looking forward to November 15. And remember what I told you about the number "8". God expresses the number "8" for new beginnings. So here in 2008...A BLESSED NEW BEGINNING FOR YOU.. .MICHELLE AND ANDRE.
With much love always,
Mother
Andre, Michelle is stunning! Michelle, Andre is genuine and true (he has found happiness in you). To quote a biblical saying "He that finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord". Congratulations Andre, the blessings of the Lord are manifesting in your life, because not only does your chosen mate have outward beauty but the beauty within is emanating from the both of you in these photos. Take care of the love that is displayed in these memorable photos; and as the time approaches, "let no man set asunder". I LOVE YOU BOTH. Thanks for sharing.
Wow........words can not express, but pictures capture it all. I am so very happy for the both of you!
Great Photos!!!!! Michelle it was a wonderful pleasure to meet you at Senior Prom.
Prayers for years of love, happiness and laughter,
Bonnie Boyd (Fortier)

Andre,
Thank you so much for sharing the pictures. I will have to agree with Rick, I have never seen you look so happy. You two make a beautiful couple. I am so happy that you found "that special someone." The pictures are absolutely beautiful. I hope to meet Michelle someday and if you two decide you would like to visit Miami, give Dana and I a call.
Congratulations,
Rhonda
Michelle,
This co-directorship with you since 2002 has been the pinnacle of my medical career. Not only have we enjoyed a Director/Resident association, we've also enjoyed an academic one as well that just seamlessly evolved over time.
.....and our friendship has flourished and my paternalistic nature has also been evident. It's almost like having a daughter to observe as you have received award after award and your practice has grown and you've established an abiding presence in the medical community of Pensacola that is recognized in Tallahassee and beyond as our FSU students are beginning to establish themselves all over the map.
Spending the amount of time with one another this co-directorship has required has allowed me to really know you and to appreciate your love of family, for your patients and for your staff, and for your community, your sorority, your country, your church and your Lord. And now when "Mr. Right" has come into your life it is absolutely obvious to even the most casual observer both in photo images and in real life that your love for Andre and he for you is real, permanent and God-ordained.
I truly love the photos that are captivating. I also love you and Andre and treasure our friendship and our professional association.
Congratulations and may God continue to bless you.
Dr. Bob
Hi Michelle. Very nice pictures of you and and Andre. Very natural poses. Wish you both God's blessings.

Please let me know if there is anything that we can do to help keep this love alive and flowing.
You guys look so happy! I hope you 2 keep that same glimmer in your eye. Keep on loving each other
Absolutely beautiful pictures, glad you decided to wear your hair down.
The pictures are beautiful!! I see the two of you couldn't stop laughing. I wish you both the best in the years to come. May GOD keep on Bessing YOU.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andre,
After all of your nights of doing cip assessments at Singing River Hospital, you've finally found happiness. Congratulations! We wish you all the love and happiness that a union can bring.
I am so happy for you both can't wait to see you guys in July at WeBeGrubbin 2008.
Happiness has finally found you and it is obvious that it was worth the wait.
Andre and Michelle:
Congrats on your engagement!!!
To love and be loved are two of the greatest blessings God gives us!
Andre, my dear old friend, I am so glad your wonderful personality, gentle nature, and smile were captured in these pictures forever. They are simply stunning! Your bride-to-be is a beautiful woman! Michelle, you're simply glowing!
May God continue to bless you two with a long wonderful life together!
Congrats, Many Blessings, Much Love and Happiness Forever:
