Dami & Niyi | Yoruba Engagement Ceremony

Yoruba engagement ceremony photos in Houston Texas by Collins Metu

A couple of days before Dami + Niyi were married, the families of the couple invited guests to witness their traditional engagement ceremony. I was really looking forward to it as despite the many Nigerian weddings I've photographed, I've never had the opportunity to cover this type of event.

It's pretty interesting when you don't know exactly when things are about to happen and you have to react and still make good photos. I took quite a few, but here are a few selects.
