Here are some photos form the session with Odette and Tony, shot in trendy Clapham. I met Odette and Tony at an event organised by Favour (a catering outfit for weddings). They have an amazing love story, one I couldn’t wait to document.
What I love about these folks is their calmness and one can see they really do love each other. Wishing you guys the best.
Music : Justin Timberlake / Love of my life (interlude) (cut by me)
Felix and Efua are just awesome people. It is so easy to see their sweet love. A fluid love; that defines their love perfectly. What I also love about these two is their love for God. They make me want to worship God just by looking at them. I am confident they will enjoy the best marriage has to offer.
I have not posted in a while, I have been very busy, I have also been documenting love stories, so there will be plenty to post very soon. I approached this post in a different way, there are more images than usual and I have merged the pre wed and the wedding……fluid love.
The song you will hear was sung during the signing of the marriage certificate, performed by one of their friends. Can I also say that Efua is a fantastic artist and she plays the piano excellently. I heard her sing on the day of the pre wed, and also on the day of the wedding. Efua, the world is waiting to be blessed with your ART.
Thanks to Yemi of Smartstudios for his help.

Here are some other photos of kids at weddings
I met David a while ago, at a trade show, he explained he was getting married but already had a photographer in mind, however he asked for my contact details before he left. I was pleasantly surprised when he sent an email saying he really wants me to document his wedding…how could I have said NO?
I met Taira on the day of the pre wed, and she is just as cool as David. It was easy to see why they are compatible. They are very easy people however you will see from the photos, they also love to dance and have fun with their family.
Enjoy guys and all the best with everything.
As always, special thanks to my good friend Archyra for all his help with this wedding, and to Yemi of smartstudios

I really want to express my thanks to everyone. We won the award. To me…no award is too big or too small. A tonne is a tonne…an award is an award. I am humbled by this award. It is the first for me.
I love my art and I am very passionate about it. It brings me so much joy when my art is also appreciated by others. There are so many photography awards out there, most of them are paid for however when people truly appreciate you and decided by themselves to celebrate you…this is truly amazing.
Tai Solarin said if a man is good at what he does, the world will build a road to his door. Whoever you are, keep that flame burning, the road is coming. Be different…be you. I know this is an essay…but this is the first for me….many more to come.
This is for every underdog….whose art is bigger than a name. Thank you…thank you thank you.
