Nigerian Pre-wedding shoot of Femi and Bimbo.
Been too lazy to post anything in a while, just about musted out the strength to put this together.
This is the engagement photo shoot of Femi and Bimbo which i did a few weeks ago.
The Nigerian wedding takes place in September nd i simply cannot wait for this wedding.
They are such a fun couple to work with, they both couldn’t stop teasing each other, it was so much fun to watch (and shoot).
This shoot was done in the early hours of a Sunday morning when most of the world was probably still sleeping, the sun wasn’t out yet so the light was very soft and was just perfect to shoot such a lovely couple. I used a speed-light soft box for a couple of the shots just to give it some depth.

The Nigerian Photography Podcast – Episode Six – The one with Leye Olumide – TOWLO
Episode 6 of the Nigerian Photography Podcast features Leye Olumide, A Nigerian Engineer based in the UK. Leye has fantastic insights into the world of international photography, he bears his mind on some issues relating to wedding photography in Nigeria.
We are still recording our podcasts with basic mobile recorders, still no fancy gear yet, audacity (the free app has been pure gold).
Leye was kind enough to donate a free copy of Joe Buissink and Cohen’s new book, “Wedding photography from the heart ” to one of our listeners.
What do you need to do to get the book?
My phone rings somewhere during the recording, recognize the ringtone ? First person to post which phone model rings gets the book, its that simple. (This is a new update and a better way to give out the book in my opinion, the initially suggested method of commenting is bound to lead to some controversy i guess) So, identify the phone and win the book.
Thanks for listening and feel free to distribute and share this podcast with your friends.

Amina Kenku and Taiwo Agboola celebrated their union on the 3rd of July 2010 and Xsightn had the pleasure of being the wedding photographer of the day. Both work in the marketing communications industry for advertising agencies.
While this was not my first time photographing a Nigerian moslem wedding, it definitely was the first time i was shooting one so colourful.
Taiwo and Amina’s wedding day was so special. As their union was blessed, Amina was breathtakingly beautiful in her gold wedding dress embellished with turquoise and other precious gems. With her hands and feet bedazzled with special bridal henna and precious stones, Amina’s dress was paired with a stunning gold veil with an embellished edge and a one-of-a kind gold and turquoise headpiece, she accessorized her bridal look with a gold necklace and earrings. The groom Taiwo was handsome in a white Sherwani with red and torquoise trimmings. Photographing such a beautiful colourful wedding in Nigeria was simply amazing.
Makeup was by the gorgeous Banke Meshida Lawal
We all at Xsightn, Nigeria’s leading wedding photography outfit based in Lagos Nigeria, wish Amina and Taiwo marital bliss, thank you for choosing Xsightn to document your beautiful date in history.
