    The Nigerian Wedding of Amina Kenku and Taiwo Agboola

    Monday, August 23rd, 2010

    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.

    Pre-wedding photos of Femi and Abigail

    Here is an engagement session i shot over the weekend of Femi and Abigail, both are based in Abuja but the wedding and traditional weddings will be happening in Lagos, Nigeria.

    I met up with Femi and Abigail  last saturday at a quiet location to shoot their engagement session. While we really wanted to shoot something quite exotic and exaggerated but ended up settling for simplicity.

    My name is Kayode Martins and i am the lead wedding photographer for Xsightn Photography, a leading wedding photography outfit based in Lagos Nigeria.

    Nigerian Weddings : Bella and Jameel

    Nigerian Wedding Photography of Bella and Jameel

    Xsightn was one of the photographers to cover the wedding of Bella Adenuga and Jameel Disu.

    This particular assignment was made possible by one of Nigeria’s photography icons, the amazing Jide Alakija.

    Security at the event was fort knox style and all photographers had to wear tags to move around.

    While a number of beautiful pictures of the couple have popped up all over the internet i feel some of them don’t really do justice to this lovely couple.

    I have selected a few pictures from my extensive collection, which in my opinion are emotional and show 2 people truely in love.

    All pictures in this collection are taken by Kayode, lead wedding photographer for Xsightn Photography, one of Nigeria’s better known Photography outfit.

    Nigerian Weddings : What happens to the remaining pictures

    Sunday, May 16th, 2010

    So what happens to those wedding pictures that never make it to the final album ?

    As a wedding photographer i usually average about 2500 pictures a wedding. after culling and editing i get maybe 200 images to fit into the wedding album and load a couple of hundreds more into the slideshow they get in HD format at the end of the day. I try to keep this minimal, so as not to get the collection too cramped up.

    All my couples also get a jpeg cd/dvd with the same images on them, which brings me to my question, what happens to those numerous images that aren’t fit for prime time? What happens to those underexposed images,  those blurred images or those wedding pictures we feel as photographers shouldn’t be seen by the public.

    To all the photographers based out there, both in Nigeria and internationally, how do you handle this images, when we shoot weddings, what happens to those pictures the couple never gets to see? Shouldn’t they  ?

    Something in me always wants to give out all the pictures because in my opinion, they all represent a moment in their lives, which they will never be able to get back or see again.

    I know professional photographers prefer to only show their good pictures, this i fully understand but as wedding photographers, should this bind us as well?

    Shouldn’t the number of the great images in the album be enough to assure the couple that we are still amazing photographers when they see the not so great ones?

    Just my views let me know what you think.

    Attached are some pictures of a Saxophone player i met at a recent wedding in Nigeria, his name is Olasax and he’s such an amazing talent.
