Baby ISABELLA’s Dedication.

Baby Photo.

Last weekend I took a break from wedding photography to document the Baby Christian Dedication of ISABELLA, the beautiful daughter of TOSAN & OJE.

Tosan had called me up a few days to the ceremony after she had gotten my contact number from a very good friend of mine and London base celebrity makeup artist Ms KEMI KING. It was a lovely bright and sunny day, a perfect weather any one would desire.

Now, photographing babies can be fun and quite challenging most times because they seem to call the shots…as a matter of fact they are the ‘boss’ at any photo session.

They cry when you want a smile, they sleep when you want their attention, and wake up when they like during a session, they look way when you want them focused, and the list goes on and on..hahahah… and you have no absolute control over the photo shoot, but as a parent am use to such scenario with my kids all the time, so, lots of frames and plenty of patience….hahahaha

But with BABY ISABELLA, it was smooth sailing from the moment l arrived at her parents home. She was actually up to the task ahead like she knew it was a very special day for her.

The church service and dedication was at the famous JESUS HOUSE, Brent Cross, London, and it was such a lovely service.

We made it through a beautiful and sweet ceremony dedicating ISABELLA. It truly was a special day and you could feel the love all around.

ISABELLA’s parents TOSAN & OJE put together a perfect ceremony. Friends and families later gathered at their lovely home in Hendon where the celebration continued with fun, music, foods and lots of merry making celebration, that stretched into the evening and I must say l had had the absolute pleasure of documenting their day along.

Thank you TOSAN & OJE for giving me the opportunity to photograph something so special. Can’t wait for the next one -:)

Here are some pixies:

FUN DAY OUT.

Kids Photography.

I was ‘forced’ to take the Bank Holiday Monday off after a weekend of documenting some events.

My three Angels: KATHLYN, MEGAN, & RUBY have been on my back all week long demanding to spend the Monday bank holiday outdoors, so rather than have ‘sad-faces’ around the house l chose to heed to their demand, but all thanks to Ms LATOYA ABATAN, a lovely bride am photographing her wedding later this year, Latoya came up with a fab idea after l had posted on my Facebook page asking friends for where to take my ‘Bambinos’ to on a lovely beautiful day like this. Latoya indeed saved the day after she sent me an email and a link. It was a fab funfair at CLISSOLD PARK in Manor House North London.

So, me and my girls headed North, and it was indeed fun all the way from the moment we made our way through the gate. My girls had a fantastic time as they wanted to try all the games and activities, which obviously cost money, but they expect Daddy to pay Hahahaha

I took along with me, my camera just to capture the fun.

All images were shot with a Canon 5D Mark II and A Sigma 85mm 1.4 EX DG

Here are some photos from the funfair:

TOSIN & MARTIN.

Weddings.

What really makes a great wedding? A good looking couple? A beautiful venue? Unseasonably warm and sunny weather? Excellent entertainment including fireworks? and not forgetting the food too…TOSIN + MARTIN‘s wedding had all of the above.

TOSIN had contacted me after l had documented her very best friend’s wedding (TITI & YEMI) late last year. At out meeting, Tosin told all what she wanted and what plans she and Martin had for their special day.

TOSIN + MARTIN’s wedding was scheduled for Kent and It feels really good to be back in Kent again after shooting three weddings in this beautiful town. It was a huge delight and honor to document TOSIN & MARTIN‘s wedding.

The weather wasn’t that kind, it was drizzling but that didn’t matter as TOSIN was very upbeat when l arrived at her hotel at: The Bridgewood Manor Hotel in Chatham, to kick start the day, her fiends and bridesmaid were all there to make sure the preparation was on course.

I must confess TOSIN is a ‘Genius’ this wonderful woman was hands-on for her wedding, she single highhandedly planned, design, and organized every single details of her wedding by herself. From the dress, bouquet, the reception hall, the layout and infact everything you can imagine TOSIN had it done all by herself

The church service was held at The Walderslade Baptist Church in Chatham, it was very brief and quick, before the reception was moved to: The Corn Exchange Center, Kent, where the reception party took place.

Martin on his part has a hidden talent in Singing and he whao the guest when he serenaded his lovely wife to the surprise and delight of the whole guest, this got TOSIN very emotional….

Guest and families partied into the night, and everyone wished the couple all the best as they departed for their honeymoon.

Kudos to TOSIN + MARTIN for braving the weather and having some photos outside in the rain when l made the suggestion.

Her entire friends in London will truly miss her as she will be moving to Birmingham to join her husband Martin. Good luck guys!!!

I will be looking forward to doing TOSIN’s maternity and baby shoot very soon.

I would like to THANK TOSIN + MARTIN for letting me be part of their special day and am wishing them Happiness and a Very Blissful Marriage as they start a new phase in the journey of their life.

Here are some of my favorites photos from the wedding:

MERCY & CHRIS.

Pre-Wedding.

Hello Everyone! Seems like the much anticipated British spring is finally upon us, (hopefully)

It’s been really difficult to get MERCY + CHRIS to stand in front of my camera for their pre-wedding shoot, due to the ‘cold spring’ in Britain. But eventually we did get some ray of sunshine, and so we arranged to meet up for a fun shoot.

This is the first part of a four-part-wedding-ceremony between MERCY + CHRIS.

l enjoy pre-wedding shoot because it gives me the opportunity to know what the bride and groom are like in front of the camera and also observe and maybe correct any habit…like we all do when we have a camera in our face..including my humble self.

Mercy found me randomly on the internet and decided to get in touch, l must say she’s a strong lover of art and a keen photographer, she has quite a few photographer colleague of mine on her speed dial, and l must say l was honored when she chose me to document her big day with Chris.

I usually like to ‘Be Prepared’ like a true ‘Boys Scout’ for all photo shoots, infact l carry two of every gear but for this pre-wedding, all seems to work against me despite the lovely spring sunshine, my wireless trigger would not work, my reflector stand would not hold, and l was getting agitated and frustrated, I almost packed it in for another, but decided to carry on in spite, and l got huge encouragement from the couple, but thank goodness for some backups…which really saved the day…..Phew!

It was all fun at MERCY + CHRIS‘s shoot, we went back to where their relationship started: RICHMOND, in Surrey, London, where the couple first met some five years ago at a social function, Mercy chose the location because it was special to her, and l must say it’s such a picturesque town.

I had a wonderful time with MERCY + CHRIS and am so looking forward to the couple’s Civil Wedding, Nigerian-Traditional Wedding and White Wedding coming up soon this year.

Please take a moment to view all the photos:

SHIRLEY & BEDEL.

Weddings.

A few weeks ago I photographed SHIRLEY+BEDEL’s traditional wedding in London, after we had such fun from their prewedding shoot which was on my blog a while ago. It was such a colourful and vibrant event. Both couple went back to their West African roots of: Ghana and Ivory Coast respectively. Like I said before in my previous blog, I met the lovely couple after I had photographed BEDEL’s cousin’s wedding last summer in Essex (Stephenie + Deji) which was featured on my blog.

I started off at Shirley’s hotel in Enfield, it was a very grey, cold, and snowy day in London, but that would not dampen the spirit of the ever bubbly Shirley. It’s suppose to be spring in the UK but for some reason it’s winter. Before we left for the church I suggested to Shirley if we could take a few shots in the snow, she looked at me with a smile and said “…ok let’s do it” I must say it was freezing and it takes a lot to stand in the snow on your wedding day and pose for pictures in a wedding dress, we spent a good 15 mins before we packed it in as I was worried for the much dreaded “camera condensation”, but I took the necessary precautions, Shirley and her bridesmaids were such a great sport. She was very upbeat and wouldn’t let the chill mess her big day.

The church ceremony was very brief and I must confess I have never seen an officiating minister that was so funny and kept the congregation laughing at the ceremony, he granted me access to all areas in the church without any restrictions.

Families and friends later gathered at the The Penridge Banqueting Suit in Arnos Groove, North London for the reception, there were lots of food and music that kept all the guest on their feet including my humble self…. hahaha

BEDEL gave a very funny and moving speech, the couple have been together for 7years before they finally decided to say “I DO”

BEDEL + SHIRLEY are just the sort of couple made for each other and I can only wish them nothing but happiness as they start a new phase in the journey of their life.

Thank you so much for letting me be part of your wedding.

Here are some photos from the lovely wedding:
