Hello Friends! Last year i shot Dionne and Maurice’s wedding and it was amazing! Check out their essence Bridal bliss feature here ! I remember the first time i met Dionne it was like we had known each other for years. Dionne and Maurice are an awesome couple and there is never i dull moment when with them. Their wedding ceremony took place at the historic Catholic Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and Wedding reception at the amazing Fernbank Museum of Natural History! I really love that we did a first look because we had so much time to take pictures at the Georgian Terrace Hotel before heading out for the ceremony. This wedding was so much fun.  Congrats to Dionne and Maurice! Check out some images below.

Chiamaka + Ifeanyi Annapolis Maryland Wedding | St. Anne's Church | Martin’s Crosswinds | Fotos by Fola

 

Hello friends! TGIF!! Thank you so much for dropping by. Early Last year i had the opportunity to travel to Annapolis Maryland to photograph the wedding of Chiamaka and Ifeanyi. This was one of my favorite weddings of the year. I had a blast covering every aspect of the wedding. I loved the spirit of the bride, groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents, guests and the vendors i worked with. I pretty much enjoyed it all which is awesome.  This wedding was featured on Borrowed and Blue and on Washingtonian Wedding blog! I actually shot Chiamaka and Ifeanyi’s Traditional wedding the previous year which was an amazing event so i knew their wedding would be fun. I am so happy Chiamaka and Ifeanyi trusted me to capture their special day. It was definitely an honor. Congrats guys. I wish you both a blessed and happy married life! The ceremony took place at St. Anne’s Church and reception at Martin’s Crosswinds . Check out some images from the day!

 

How it all started

It wasn’t until attending the same convention for Nigerian young professionals that Chi-Chi and Ifeanyi officially met. After being introduced by mutual friends who had met at the first gathering, Chi-Chi and Ifeanyi quickly hit it off, ditching the conference to sit by the pool to chat all night long.
A year and a half later, Ifeanyi, knowing Chi-Chi is a fan of waterfalls, invited her to go to the National Botanical Garden. While Chi-Chi was distracted by the garden’s petite waterfall, Ifeanyi asked someone to take their picture. As the camera snapped away, Ifeanyi reached into his pocket to pull out a ring. He got down on one knee, but Chi-Chi was so stunned that it took an onlooker shouting, “Say yes!” to get a response out of her.

Atlantis Paradise Island Resort Bahamas | Fotos by Fola | Destination Wedding Photographer | Bahamas Wedding Photographer

Hello!! Thank you for visiting the blog. Excited to share Ty and Duran’s Bahamas engagement session today! I enjoyed this shoot just as much as the couple did. We shot all around the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort for their formal look and also had the opportunity to shoot at the  Atlantis beach for their casual look. I had a blast with this fun and laid back couple. I truly love the vibe, atmosphere and people in Bahamas. I can’t wait to go back soon. Check out their story and images below. Enjoy!

.

How they met:

Well, we met as classmates at the University of The Bahamas. At that time we really did not take notice of one another. We just hailed in passing or briefly spoke in class that was about it. I always knew Duran as the quiet slim guy in class.  I don’t know what his perceptions were about me at the time. We lost contact with one another for several years but one day he sent me a friends request on Facebook.
Shortly after he sent me a message reminding me of who he was and asked if we could hang out one day. At first I didn’t really paid it any attention. But one day I needed a ride to my rehearsal for Miss Bahamas and I couldn’t think of anyone but then i remembered him lol. So I sent him a message asking if he would please do me the favor of dropping me to my rehearsal. He was there with no complaints. After that we became good friends for maybe over a year. Later he expressed to me that he was interested in a relationship with me at first I was apprehensive but after months of thinking I finally decided to give it a shot.
