Dami & Niyi | New Orleans Engagement Session

New Orleans Engagement photos by Collins Metu

A few months ago I traveled to the heart of Who Dat nation to share an awesome day with one of my favorite couples, Dami + Niyi. Since they are going to be married soon, it's time to get these photos onto the blog!

Though these two live in New York now, New Orleans is very special to them. Dami was in school there but moved to Houston as a result of Hurricane Katrina where she met Niyi.

We spent the day hitting several spots in the Big Easy including areas where the graffiti artist Banksy had been busy. It was my first exposure to his work and I was surprised at how well-known the artist is after doing more research on him. It goes without saying we had to incorporate a bit of his work into the session. :)

We continued our tour of the city where I followed them as they 2nd-lined, hit the French Quarter (where we enjoyed beignets at Cafe du Monde), and finished the night on Canal street.

Here are a few images from their awesome engagement session:
