Wendy & Eddie! FABULOUSSS Engagment Shoot!!

Wednesday, July 13, 2011

Hello Loveliessss! So todayyy I am sooo excited because I am bringing you guys hands DOWN the cutest engagement shoot I think I've ever seen! ANDD I'm so excited because they are a future BCG couple!! I love how Wendy and Eddie made their shoot sexy, flirty, and fun, to me, it looked like something out of a magazine. They were also kind enough to share with us some of the thoughts and ideas that went behind their themed engagement session! Let us know what you think!!




"When Eddie and I decided we were going to take engagement photos, we knew that above all we wanted our pictures to tell a story.  The hard part was deciding what story we wanted to tell.  It took some thinking, but when we finally decided on a theme, everything flowed from there.  For a majority of our relationship we have been in different states and have also had the privilege of traveling to different countries.  From this foundation, our photoshoot theme came to life: “Planes, Trains & Automobiles”.  No distance was too far and no journey was too rough.  We just knew that no matter what it took, we wanted to be together and that’s exactly what we did!







Our photographer, Kirth Bobb, helped us bring this vision to life.  Over the course of six months we used three cities as backdrops for our engagement sessions.   We wanted to capture various elements of our personalities in each shoot.  From eveningwear during a night out in the park, to casual wear walking our puppies during the day.  Each picture truly captured an element of our personality.  Eddie’s favorite shoot was taken at the train tracks in Baltimore, while my favorite shoot was taken on a private jet.  While we each have our favorites, the finished package was more than we could ever imagine!
  

One of my FAVORITE shots!! Reppin for the N.B.A's!! (Nigerians Born in America, haha!)



Before a couple begins their engagement shoot, we would advise them to pick a theme and run with it. I am a firm believer that no concept is too grand to bring to life. As long as you pair your wildest imaginations with a great photographer, the marriage of the two elements will yield optimum results! In our case, the end result was great engagement pictures and a lot of posing practice for our wedding day.  In the end, the camera captures the essence of a couple’s true love for one another and it permeates through the pictures. So just have fun and smile, and the camera will do the rest of the storytelling.








Most importantly, a wedding only lasts for a day, but a marriage lasts for eternity! As long as couples remember this and keep God first, they will continue to receive God’s ABUNDANT BLESSINGS and everything else will surely fall into perfect place." J

Beautiful Wedding Time! Moji & Olu

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Heyyyy guysss!! It's time again for another Beautiful Wedding feature! I present Moji and Olu! There wedding was simple, chic and FAB! Let me know what you think! They've also answered some questions for you to get to know them a little better as you glance at the pics!

Names: Olu & Moji Akinsola
Age: 30 & 25 years old respectively
Occupation: Physicians In Training
Location: Philadelphia.

      
How did you meet? 

We met in medical school on the very first day of orientation.



      
What do you love about your spouse?  

Moji: I love his character and his love for God. 
Olu: Her fiery spirit and dedication to her spiritual life in Christ is what I love most.
     
What was the most stressful part of wedding planning? And how did you deal with it?  

Moji: The stressful part was having our parents add last minute guests to their guest list. We dealt with it by creating more space for their guests to seat but it wasn't an easy or cheap task. 
Olu: I would have to agree with my beloved; dealing with our parents adding guests at the last minute was especially frustrating at times.
     
What's the best part of wedding planning? 

Moji: I enjoyed planning everything about our wedding. It is the only opportunity to plan a day around the two of you, to show others who you both really are.  It is also a great chance to focus on what it really means to marry someone else, i.e. pre-marital counseling. 
Olu: I loved the idea of working with my best friend to create something luminous. In a way it's very indicative and symbolic of what happens in the marriage itself; that is two worlds, two personalities, and two souls coming together to become one unit.  



 


Would you do anything different?  

Moji: I would have chosen a different vendor for transportation. 
Olu: I would have gone with a different vendor for transportation as well and a different vendor for stationary. 




   
Favorite part of your wedding? 

Moji: The ceremony and dancing were so much fun!!! I loved every second of it!
Olu: Even though I was crying at the time, seeing Moji for the first time in her wedding dress walk down the aisle in the church was by far my favorite part of the wedding. I still replay that moment in my head over and over.
     
Any advice for planning brides??  

Moji: Put God first, focus more on the marriage that is forthcoming rather than the wedding day itself. 
Olu: Always keep God first in everything that you do, start planning early (it's never too early to piece things together) and make sure you plan for what happens after the wedding day as that lasts for eternity.

Celebration of Love!!! Part 3 : Nnamdi and Tomi

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Today we are featuring a GORGEOUS couple who represent what it really means to NEVER give up hope. ! This couple withstood the test of time and are now happily married and excited about embarking upon life's journey TOGETHER!  



 
Feb is a special month for us as we celebrate our 2nd year wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day and 9 amazing years in all....beeen a long time coming...






My name: Tomi, 29, Medical Doctor @ Grady Memorial Hosp

His name: Nnamdi, 31, Senior Marketing Manager @ ARIBA

We reside in Dunwoody, GA (Atlanta)...we met in college at the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2000 and we started our courtship in 2002. We got engaged and married in 2009 (no point wasting time by this time lol). On Feb 14, 2011, we celebrate our 2nd year Wedding Anniversary :)

Being married today was only by God's grace. We were faced with so many hurdles and oppositions for various reasons.... but what kept us grounded was our faith and deep rooted convictions.

The MOST important thing that keeps us going is PRAYERS! Without God I do not know where we would be! Also, having GREAT EXAMPLES in our parents who stayed married despite the fact that life is full of ups and downs is definitely something that keeps us motivated. Before anything else, we are FRIENDS.... there is a whole lot of laughter and goofing off in our marriage! That helps us to STAY YOUNG, why not!!!

We love EXERCISING together! It keeps us young, energized and feeling good about our bodies! Which equates to BOOM! FIREWORKS!

We have RESPECT for each other and for each other's family values

We also allow each other to maintain our INDIVIDUALITY... we take a break from each other once in a BLUE MOON... go to MIAMI with the girls... go to Vegas with the boys; it keeps things SPICY!

VACATION VACATION VACATION!!!!

Truthfully, GREAT SEX keeps our marriage going and the willingness to purposefully please each other!

  

The wedding photos were taken by Victor Herrera! More of their wedding pics can be found HERE.




Below is a video of the events surrounding their gorgeous destination wedding in Mexico! Enjoy!
