After meeting Dara and Chuma it seemed like we should have met long ago--the Nigerian community in Houston is notoriously small--and it also felt like we had known each other for a while. After an engagement session, a bridal session and finally the wedding day, it truly seems like we know them and their families well. My wife and I even got a chance to attend a pre-wedding event where we ran into many of our friends including my friend Olu and Erica & Jan whose wedding I was preparing to photograph in the Dominican Republic in a few weeks.
Their wedding day was effortlessly elegant but the reception was what you would expect from a Nigerian wedding: lively, tons of dancing, and vibrant attire.
