About Xsightn Photography:

Xsightn Photography is a Nigeria based fashion, wedding and lifestyle photography outfit. We love to think our approach to wedding photography is both fresh and urban. We pride ourselves of being one of the top wedding photographers in Nigeria, shooting high-end weddings for Nigerian couples based outside Nigeria. In 2010 we were privileged to shoot weddings for Nigerian brides based in the USA, UK, South Africa, Canada and Cameroon . While I started off shooting weddings, I have discovered a brand new love for fashion photography. "I love the fact that i am a wedding photographer and I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to capture and document, the memories, love, look and the happiness in my work" "I approach my wedding photography in a way that leads to an intimate and artful expression resulting in images that reflect your unique personality, capturing the natural mood of the day that will be cherished in your family for years to come." Kayode(the lead photographer) started his career in IT before training under some of the world's best known photographers. Throughout his photography career, Xsightn has developed a unique style of creating timeless imagery. He draws inspiration for everything around him, from movies and television, to literary figures and, of course, journalism.

    The Wedding of Titi and Ibrahim – (Long Overdue O)

    Monday, April 23rd, 2012

    Ok, the bride harassed me into making this post. She sent me a bb message saying my wedding is not on your website !!!!!.

    So I had to quickly reap myself out of my lazy couch and dig into the archives to pull out this one.

    To Titi and Ibrahim Aliyu, your wedding was one of the most Xsightn I ever shot (then you would expect me to say that wouldn’t you ?) and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

    The wedding was different, there wasn’t any time wasting, the church was not conventional as it was outside, to add to that, it rained on the day and that added a bit of drama to the whole experience. Was scared of getting my equipments wet while at the same time conscious of the fact that i had to get “the” shot, every time.

    It was truly a honor to shoot such an awesome wedding. Ibrahim is the nicest dude you could ever expect to meet, he was very quiet, very shy initially but as the day unravelled, all date shyness quickly vanished into thin air.

    Titi on the other hand was the ultimate playful bride, she couldn’t stop making jokes all day.

    Here are some pictures from their Nigerian wedding and I hope you can see live the whole wedding via this timeless images.

    @TITI.. Oya I don post the images now o, make I rest jor…. Lots of love from @xsightn

    My name is Kayode and I shoot Nigeria weddings.

    WEDDING UPDATES

    Monday, March 12th, 2012

    I am currently in the UAE attending a series of workshops, ranging from wedding photography to commercial advertising photography as well as food photography.

    I have had the distinct honour of being in the presence of the world’s best photographers for the last 7 days and it has been magic all the way. I have been in the presence of such esteemed photographers such as Gregory Hiesler, Joe Mcnally, Louis Pang, Martin Prihoda, Steve Simon, David Tejada, Bobbi Lane, David Hobby and the magnificent David Burrnet. For the last 7 days I have also had the pleasure of networking with photographers from countries such as South Africa, Oman, Australia, New Zealand, New York, Russia, Malaysia, Turkey, lebanon, India to mention a few, the learnings from these alone has been priceless.

    As a photographer despite my “crazy” schedule I really had to make time out to update myself and I think every Nigerian photographer should do this. I am always on the look out for trainings that will add value to me and to my clients.

    I will tell you all about the workshops as soon as I get back to Lagos, Nigeria but in the interim, here are a few images from my wedding photography workshops that’s got me all excited. Am off to Abu Dhabi tomorrow to see the town icon smile WEDDING UPDATES

    My name is Kayode and I am a leading wedding photographer based in Lagos, Nigeria. I shoot weddings all over the world.

    To book me : bookings@xsightn.com and I will get right back to you.

    Bridal Photo Shoot in Lagos, Nigeria – Preview

    Monday, July 4th, 2011

    It’s no secret I have a sort of obsession with shooting weddings in Nigeria, from the brides, to the grooms, to the decor, to the decorations, there’s just something about Nigerian weddings that fuels me. I felt this same way years ago when I started my  journey in photography and its pretty exhilarating that several years after, the zeal, the love, the passion remains 100% intact.Recently I have been doing quite a number of  portfolio shoots for aspiring Nigerian models and I have found that to be fun as well, different models bring different “things” to the table and its alway fun trying to make the best of every models “gifts” during one of my sessions.

    This particular post is a preview into a bridal photo shoot I did just recently that fused the best of both worlds together. Brides and Models.

    While am still busy culling my images, am quite happy with what I think I was able to capture, am sharing 3 images right away, I went a bit artistic just because I think it works, what do you think?

    Bridal photo shoot was done in collaboration with the wonderful people of Rose Blossom Bridals and The Best Western Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

    Rose Blossom is one of the leading names in the bridal industry when it comes to authentic and fresh bridal wears in the whole of Nigeria (Both my wife and sister had their dresses made by them, I never knew that until recently).Mrs. Elizabeth Oyeronke Sho-Silva started Rose Blossom Bridal about 10years ago at home in Nigeria. Through the years Blossom has grown from strength to strength. Much of her business was based on referrals by happy customers in Nigeria and abroad. You can find them online at www.roseblossombridal.com displaying several items. Did I happen to mention that all their dresses are 100% hand crafted ?

    The Best Western Hotel, Victoria Island just opposite the bar beach is located on Ahmadu Bello Way, is part of the largest hotel chain in the world. The hotel is a beauty to behold and the view is nothing short of astonishing, with both a roof top tennis court and a swimming pool, the hotel is easily one of the most equipped in the country.

    Nigerian Photographer – Quick location photography gear review

    Friday, April 22nd, 2011

    This is a quick video I made without really thinking about it. In this video I talk about a location photography shoot I will be having and the sort of photography equipments I usually take on such shoots.

    Most of my equipments are manufactured by a company called Paul C. Buff in the USA, I ordered most of the equipments some 9 or so months ago and only just got them delivered to Lagos Nigeria a few weeks back, been using them ever since they landed. It’s extremely difficult if not damn right impossible getting great quality equipments here in Nigeria, I usually have to order most of them from the states (and at times from Hong Kong).

    My camera of choice remains my trusty Nikon D700 and new sidekick, the Nikon D7000.

    My name is Kayode Martins, I am a Nigerian photographer based in Lagos, Nigeria. I am available for Nigerian, African and International Photo assignments. I have a passion for Wedding Photography.
