Onyinye & Chima | 23 March 2011 | 12 Apostles

Onyinye & Chima travelled all the way from Edinburgh, Scotland to have their wedding here in our beautiful country :) Both are from Nigeria originally, and I was floored to hear they'd already had a 700-guest-strong traditional wedding in Nigeria! We joked that this celebration was almost akin to the two of them doing 'dinner for two' by comparison ;)


What I love about Onyinye and Chima is that, as glamorous and hot as they are (yes hot is the only word for it!) - they shared SO many tender, quiet moments amidst the hustle and bustle. You can see how much they deeply and passionately love each other, and that is a thing of beauty :) They also have so much FUN together - I loved all of the teasing, giggling and laughter that permeated the day :)

Onyinye & Chima, I am so grateful to have met you and to have had the privilege of capturing your most special of days :) Wishing you a lifetime of the happiness, love and fun that you guys clearly share :)

Blessings & love
xx

Here are some of my favorites from their day :)


CT brought the WIND in a major way, as you can see :)













 The rooms at the 12 Apostles are beautiful with awesome things to 'play' with for details photos :)

 Onyinye wore one stunner of a Pronovias gown!



 Love loved her bracelet and the turquoise color here :)
 False lashes are absolutely beautiful for really giving the eyes some pop :)


 The dashing groom, Chima :)


 They both come from super good-looking families! Their kids are gonna be pretty gorgeous ;)






 Like I said, gooooo-looking family genes going on here! This is her beautiful sister Gogo :)
 Mmmmf, my camera had a serious love affair with this girl!





 A little gangsta bride ;)


 

Daddy seeing her for the first time :)
 Sjoe it was windy!!!





 Love Chima's face here ;)





 Love it when a couple laughs like this together :)




 Onyinye had her heart set on beach photos, but with the wind howling the way it was, we were worried we'd get blown away, or sandblasted! We said a quick prayer and sped off to Llandudno, where, miraculously, there was only a small bit of wind! :)


 So tender :)

 We had a right giggle over the instructions for this one ;)







 Hot hot hot ;)





 Love the colors in this one!

 Super suave groom :)
 And his hawt bride!
 Serious Vogue material - sass one minute and then just elegant beauty the next!




 Heehee, this was unscripted ;)






A little bit of gangsta signage!
 Runway much?! ;)
 This brave girl clambered up the side of the mountain in those heels just to catch the sunset - proud of ya! :)



 Sjoewee!
 GQ ;)

 Onyinye's Mom is awesome :)
 Her Dad made an awesome speech with some great marriage advice.
 And her brother had everyone in hysterics with laughter ;)
 The cutting of the cake and the shmooshing of the face ;)
 Best wedding crashers ever!!
 Long-lost friends ;)
 Their first dance was the coolest I have ever seen! Seriously, they started off with a beautiful slow dance to 'At Last' which then broke out into 'I Like Big Butts & I Cannot Lie' and they BURNT UP the dance floor!
 All of the dancing was freaking amazing, serious skills here!!
