No..YES! Olamide + Dotun E-Session | Atlanta Botanical Garden | Virginia Highland | Atlanta Wedding Photographers

August 6, 2013 | Engagement Sessions, showcase | 13 Comments

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by. I have a fun, colorful, and stylish e-session to share today. Olamide & Dotun rocked this shoot like stars and had a blast in the process. I absolutely love when couples just have good ol’ fun on shoots. Olamide first said “No” to Dotun when he asked her to be his girl. However, they were destined to be together so that “No” eventually turned to a “YES”!!. Congrats guys on your engagement and upcoming wedding! This shoot took place at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and the Virginia Highland area. Styling, wardrobe and accessories provided by Ladyee Boutique. Make up by Crys Doukoure (Crysdoukoure@gmail.com). Check out the short story below and some images from the shoot. Enjoy!

Olamide was 15 and Dotun was 17 when they met in Lagos, both just out of high school and(naively) thinking they were ready to take on the world. In a very short time they became best of friends, every morning they traveled together to their respective exam prep centers(SAT exams for Olamide & JAMB for Dotun).
Everything was happy and blissful in their young lives until “a small issue” cropped up. Their
accounts of the incident as they remember it;
Dotun: I politely asked her, a gentleman even at 17, to be my girlfriend and she just said “NO” without even thinking about it. A brothers’ feelings were really hurt but I took it in stride and remained her close friend(NOT).
Olamide: I said “NO” because I was traveling to the US for college, so I didn’t think it made sense to start a relationship that would end shortly afterwards. Sorry love.
Dotun: There lies my problem, a 15 year old is not meant to think that way. You were supposed to just swoon at my *coughs* devilishly dark good looks and just say “YES”.
Olamide left Nigeria sometime after that, they tried to keep in touch through emails but Life happened and they lost touch after a while.
They grew up out of touch, until 2007 when Olamide visited Nigeria for her sisters’ wedding and searched Dotun out. Happy to have found each other, they spent the next few days getting to know each other again. 9 months later they were dating and about 4 years after that, 3 days to Olamide’s birthday, Dotun popped the question.
Dotun: Finally got her to say “YES”, twice. Thank you Baby Jesus.
