/ Igbo Wedding

Hello! Thanks for dropping by. I have a wonderful Nigerian wedding on the blog today. Oge and George’s wedding was awesome and they were such a fun couple to shoot. Everything with them on the wedding day was effortless. I remember shooting their engagement session (view here) and thinking to myself their wedding is going to be amazing! Well it definitely was. I am grateful i was a part of it all. Congrats to Oge and George. Check out some images from the day! Enjoy.

Hello friends! TGIF!! Switching gears a bit today to share some traditional wedding goodness :). I love seeing couples embrace their culture which is also a great way of honoring our parents. Chi-chi was such a beautiful Igbo bride and Ifeanyi was extremely happy she found him in the sea of people at the wedding. I really enjoying covering this event. Congrats to Chi-chi and Ifeanyi!! Check out some highlights from the day. Enjoy!

Hello guys! I hope you had a great weekend. I am happy to share my very first Dowry ceremony event. I’ve covered an introduction in the past but this was a little different. The dowry ceremony is big must in the Igbo culture. I definitely enjoyed covering this event. I’ve known Ogechi for a while and she has also been in a few weddings I shot in the past. I am always excited when familiar faces reach out to me. With Ogechi’s help I got a breakdown of the Dowry process.

After the girl’s father has done research on the groom’s family and accepted the groom-to-be’s intentions the dowry (bride price) must be negotiated. But first, the bride-to-be must find her love among the crowd of close family and friends. When she finds him, she kneels before him, offers him palm wine which he drinks.  Once he drinks the palm wine, the girl’s father blesses the union. The Dowry amount will then be negotiated by the men in both families. Dowry is an amount of money and goods that the girl’s kindred will receive from the groom’s family in exchange for the bride-to-be’s hand in marriage.  Many families only exchange the dowry symbolically as no actual price can be paid – of course igbo women are priceless.  Once the dowry has been exchanged, the couple, under igbo culture, is now technically married.

Check out some images from the day. Enjoy!
