Marland + Kuldip | A Jamaican & Indian Affair

Obi — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:33:50 +0000

Okay, so apparently this is my first post for the year .. (not good), however my time off hasn’t quite been due to blog-laziness. We started the year almost completely book up, and we’re still at it. As I type this, we are preparing for our 4th wedding for the year.

Anyway, I’ve decided to blog a couple of late 2011 weddings before I archive them all and start with the 2012 ones. So here goes …

Marland and Kuldip had their cute wedding sometime last year. It was a nice little family wedding with plenty of crying, laughter and dancing. For some reason I decided to go black and white with the images. Here are a few from the day. Do hope you like.

Nosipho + Ralph – Engagement Session at Hyde Park

Obi — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:31:03 +0000

South African born Nosi and Nigerian entrepreneur, Ralph who are getting married later this year in South Africa, popped into London for their fitting sometime back in August. We were able to arrange a quick pre wedding shoot behind their Hotel in Central London. Due to Ralph’s busy schedule, we had just about an hour for the shoot, and as such I don’t quite have a lot of images.

Nigerian Wedding – Maria and Jibola

Obi — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 09:43:12 +0000

Okay, so the blog has been quiet for a while … doesn’t quite mean I’ve been lazy, but rather have been swamped with work. I thought I’d post up a few images from Maria and Jibola’s wonderful wedding which took place sometime last month or so, and which I photographed with fellow photographer, Osita.

The ceremony was held at St Johns Church, while the reception was at the Walthamstow Assembly Hall, both here in North London. Hope you like the images …

Nigerian Wedding – Opeyemi & Ade

Obi — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 09:30:05 +0000

A couple of weeks back I had a sort of short notice commission to cover Yemi and Ade’s wedding in South London. The day started at the Dartford Bridge Hilton, and this was followed with the ceremony at Winners Chapel in Dartford. Below are a couple of images from the day.

Nigerian Wedding at Crystal Palace

Obi — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 08:02:16 +0000

I’m currently stuck neck deep editing images from various shoots and events, however since the blog has been quite for a while I just dug up a few randoms from Favour and Alozie’s wedding at Crystal Palace a couple of weeks back. If you remember I did shoot their quickie pre-wedding shoot some time back as well. Hope you like these.

Engagement Session – Tosin & Don

Obi — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 09:02:37 +0000

A couple of my favourites from Tosin and Don’s engagement session at Canary Wharf. While I like the active fun type engagement shoot, as well as the fashion type shoot, I think I’m beginning to prefer the quite types where the couple aren’t exactly camera aware. I think these are a bit more journalistic and romantic. But then again I guess it’ll also depend on the personalities of the couple, and on what they want… Enjoy.

Pre-Wedding Shoot … sneak peak

Obi — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 09:30:36 +0000

I don’t normally do sneak peaks, but I’ve been rather busy lately so there might just be a bit more sneak peeks coming up. This was for Alozie and Favour’s wedding a while back. Due to time constraints, we actually started shooting about 9pm, in a garden just behind their house, but I guess the images turned out alright. Of course hopefully I’ll be posting the wedding pictures much later on.

Nigerian Traditional Wedding – Loyin and Akan

Obi — Wed, 25 May 2011 10:46:43 +0000

Nigerian traditional weddings aren’t something I photograph often. While I’ve photographed some Ibo ones, this is the first time I’m photographing a Yoruba one. Between sometime mid last year when Loyin first contacted me about her wedding, she went to great effort to make sure I understood procedures and key events of the day.

Anyway, the wedding took place in Nottingham a couple of weeks ago, and of course I did capture all the key moments. Below are a couple of images that made it to the final selection.
