Christiana & Olu's Wedding

Christiana and Olu were married at the Belin Chapel in HBU a little over a week ago. It was a huge celebration that featured well over 600 guests and a huge bridal party of 14 bridesmaids and 14 groomsmen (wow!).

As is always the case with Nigerian weddings, the rich color and culture was shining through and the day just seemed packed with action, keeping me and Eric very busy. The couple and I also share many mutual friends so it was a pleasure to see so many familiar faces throughout the day. It kept the vibe very personal as I was shooting; I think this helped keep people relaxed in front of the lens.

I like this capture of Olu enjoying a solitary moment just before the ceremony


Christiana's father says a prayer before she walks down the aisle


The Belin Chapel had very striking architecture which made for some cool images



The mothers of the bride and groom embrace


The guests scramble to get photos of the bride and groom making their entrance into the reception area


Christiana and her dad dance...


...as well as Olu and his mother


And now for our bride and groom


Christiana's Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority sisters sing to her


The groom is "sprayed" with cash


All the action must have tired this little guy out!
