Before Alyzza and David got married at the Howard Theatre in Washington DC, they decided to shoot their engagement photos [1] at the Kennedy Center, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Enid A. Haupt Garden. They shot distinct looks at each location, from red carpet-ready [2] in sequins, to casual and culturally proud, with an elegant red jumpsuit [3] in between.
"They are such a fun and adventurous couple who love the arts, music, traveling, and celebrating the dopeness of all things black culture," said their photographer, Iris Mannings [4].
David proposed to Alyzza [5] during their date at an escape room in Harlem. The last clue ended with David on his knee asking her to be his partner for life [6].
See their star-worthy photos ahead!
