Hello there! Excited about today’s post featuring Shade and Folarin. I’ve known Shade for over 10 years! So we go waaaay back… way before any of us even had marriage on our radar.  So i am thrilled that i get to be a part of her day. Shade Relocated to DC so we had the option of shooting in DC or ATL . I am glad we chose DC. There is something special about the Capitol! I met Folarin on the day of the shoot. He picked me up from the Airport so we got to chat about all sorts of topics and most importantly i got to know him more 🙂 . He is such a cool guy and i am happy he is making my good friend Shade happy!  For the shoot we started off at the National Gallery of Art DC then we ended the shoot at Union Station. It was a great experience and we all truly enjoyed it. I can’t wait for their big day. Congrats to Shade & Folarin! Check out some images from the shoot. Enjoy!

Our Story:
Once upon a time…… 🙂 well, our story is a testimony! We grew up together. We would randomly see each other at parties and knew ourselves to be close family friends. We both saw something in each other and had nothing but respect for each other. As we grew individually, our relationship became closer, not knowing that we would be here today. God has been so good to us. Many trials and tests, but thank God that He is our foundation. We love spending quality time with each other, going to movies, spas, shopping, and surprising each other. We love being there for people and supporting in any way possible. If there is one thing that we would like to highlight about ourselves, that is the grace of God is sufficient, and as he has been there for us and knowing that He will continually be our rock; we encourage you to call upon Him in every situation.
We look forward to sharing more with you on our wedding day! 🙂
God Bless you!
Proposal story:
It was Tuoyo’s 30th birthday, I told him that I would plan a birthday party for him; the only thing he had to do was show up. I remember telling him this about 6 months before his birthday. Planning his birthday party was very exciting for me, because I knew this was going to be his first party. The day of his party came after months of planning and I was so excited, looking forward to seeing him have a wonderful night as he celebrated his 30th. I had different entertainments planned for the day, with a few disappointments the day off, I was still optimistic that he would have a wonderful time. While the party was going on, I realized many distractions, I was called to the kitchen, then to the car, and then someone else called me to go over the program. During this time, I heard the MC calling my name on the microphone, as I walked up, I saw Tuoyo standing in the middle of rose petals shaped in a heart with candles surrounding the heart. And he asked me to step into the heart with him. He asked my sisters and his sisters to come up as well, he thanked me for everything and handed me a box, I remember everyone hailing and asking me to open the box, as I opened the box, it was an ipad and on the back was engraved, Eghosa P. Asoro, will you marry me? I turned around to look at tuoyo and he was on his knee. I think after that, I spaced out; I can not really remember what happened after that, I was overwhelmed with joy. I could not believe what just happened at the moment. Just when I thought I was going to make his 30th birthday one to remember, he made it about us! I am truly grateful to have this man in my life, I am looking forward to out future. God has a plan! 🙂

Hello friends! Sorry for the break in blog posts. Spring is in the air so its a busy time of the year. Good weather translates to time to take pictures..lol. I have a simple love shoot to share today. It’s not an engagement shoot  and it is not a wedding but a celebration of love. Alisha & Elijah are having a private court wedding but still wanted some good pictures to celebrate their union so they contacted me to do a shoot. I just wanted the pictures to showcase their love for each other. It was simple, fun and personal. I truly enjoyed this session. I wish you both the very best. Congrats! Check out some images from the shoot below.

Hello there! Adaobi & Ogonna are getting married exactly 1 month from today! Bad weather almost prevented this shoot from happening but thank God the rain held up.  I enjoyed my time with this awesome couple. Their fun and laid back attitude made the shoot a breeze. We started off at the Historic Georgian Terrace Hotel then proceeded to Lenox Park. Looking forward to the wedding next month. Check out some images below and the story of how they met. Enjoy!
According to Her:
It wasn’t the ‘love at first sight’ type of meeting, but it was ‘love at first talk’. Ogonna and my older brother, Uzo, were classmates in secondary school (FGC Nise). So I would say he knew me ‘indirectly’ though I didn’t know him. A mutual friend hit me up, asking for permission to give out my number to Ogonna. I was skeptical to talk to him at first, especially since he lived far away. However, I still agreed to give it a try.
The first few days we talked, the connection was shocking and almost unbelievable. We had a lot in common, including mutual friends. We talked and laughed day after day, night after night, and the rest they say is history.
According to Him:
I don’t know how to explain how God placed this amazing lady in my life. However, I’ve truly seen that everything happens for a reason.
I first knew of Adaobi when her pic caught my eye on her brother’s (who happens to be my high school buddy) Facebook page. I didn’t think too much of it, as she was just my friend’s sister, at the time at least. After I had practically forgotten all about that incident, my uncle’s wife wanted to introduce me to a friend that she grew up with. When I heard her name I was shocked that it was the same girl I had secretly admired a while back. After I calmed the butterflies in my stomach and finally gave her a call, I got to know a girl that I felt like I’d known all my life. I was also shocked at the number of mutual friends we had, but never crossed paths earlier.
As time went by, and we grew closer and closer, I had no doubt in my mind that I had found the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. A girl that is perfect for me.

Hello friends! Excited to share today’s engagement session featuring Bukky and Folabi (AKA Samuel) . Remember their epic surprise proposal? If you have not seen it make sure you check it out here.  I am a firm believer that an engagement session should showcase the couple and it should be an enjoyable experience.  We definitely accomplished that on this shoot. Usually i’ll provide a short write up about the shoot but today i will share what the Bukky had to say about the shoot. Enjoy!
The shoot was amazing! I was soooo nervous about it but Steve kept reassuring me that it would turn out great… And he was right! The entire day felt so effortless. It was like we were all just hanging out and there happen to be a camera there, Lol. And that’s what I loved most about the experience, the fact that we really didn’t do much “posing”. We would looking at each other or laugh and Steve would get amazing shots from them. I loved how he could capture our never ending goofy side as well as our “Michelle/Barack-power couple-magazine pose” side. Lol.
The inspiration behind the first look is our overwhelming love for the Falcons (Rise up!). We met in Atlanta and both of us are huge American football fans and have a mutual love for the dirty birds, so we had jerseys made with our names and the number 10 (representing our wedding date). And Steve had the genius idea of taking the pics at the Georgia dome, needless to say we were too excited! The second look was our evening/formal look. I had no idea what direction I wanted to go with my dress but steve suggested something different, so I thought hmmmm I don’t really like long dresses(blame my short legs) so we went for a more vintage theme. I knew I wanted a red lip so we went from there with Folabi’s look focusing on a crushed velvet jacket and bow tie and mine on a lace white cocktail dress. For the last look I just wanted something fun! Something atypical and different and a tutu came to mind! Lol. With some reassurance from titispassion, we went with a denim theme with me in a white tutu and denim shirt and him in all denim (he refused to wear white pants lol), and threw in some fun shades. My advice for newly engaged couples is to do what makes you happy and it will turn out great! Don’t worry about who did what and what others will think because at the end of the day it’s about you and your fiancĂ© and no one else.

Hello friends! Thank you so much for dropping by. I have a beautiful wedding to share today featuring Ashley and Phillip! I first met Ashley back in 2011 when she was a bridesmaid at wedding i shot. I remember her  telling me that when she gets married i will be her wedding photographer. I told her i would love to and we laughed it off. Fast forward 3 years later i received a phone call from Ashley!  To say i was excited would be a huge understatement. This is one of the many reasons i love being a wedding photographer. I truly enjoyed working with this couple. Phillip is a really fun guy and i had a blast during the Engagement shoot  (Check out the essence feature) so i knew the wedding would be amazing. Ashley and Phillip had a midday wedding so the day started very early. Something about this early wedding was just so refreshing and everyone was full of energy. It was a beautiful day and i am so glad i was part of it all. The wedding took place at Ashton Gardens. Check out some images from the day!
