I love firsts… my first camera, first car, first Frapuccino, you get the idea. Well, Olympia and Femi’s allowed me yet another first. My first Nigerian wedding. As it happens, Olympia was born here in the states and Femi in Canada, but Femi’s family is from Nigeria and in order to maintain with tradition, both bride and groom dressed in traditional Nigerian outfits halfway through their reception. It was such a colorful thing to see! Image wise, I’m making this an extra long post as I had a really tough time leaving some of these images out, so I didn’t! Their wedding and reception took place at the gorgeous Turnip Rose Promenade and Gardens in Costa Mesa. Come to think of it this was yet another first as I’d never shot a wedding at the turnip rose before. Hope you enjoy.
