Happily Married Oby and Benson- sneak peak
August 21, 2009The world is big and small and maybe even smaller now in the Internet age. I found Wale Photos online, he is a photographer from D.C and posted an ad online in need for a second shooter, few emails later and we were set. He told of of how awesome the couple was and that it was a Nigerian wedding but not too traditional. I had no idea what was coming and was so excited at the opportunity. As I arrived at the their hotel, the room was packed with girls, make up, shoes, flowers. I felt very comfortable and very blessed. Wale and the videographer was were the only guy in this room full of girls and it was fun moving around as my friend David Toth says anticipating moments. I got the chance to also visit the groom. When Wale mentioned the groom’s name, it sounded familiar and when we went up a few floors to visit the guys, the groom looked familiar, not sure from where or when but I felt I knew him. The day started taking speed and all went by so fast, a bit crazy and so exciting. I have lots to post about this wedding but wanted to say that I added the groom on Facebook and he sent me a message saying how long it had been and I saw he went to Rutgers. Turns out we were both leaders of College Organizations and were in meetings and projects together. Such a small world! Made it all even better. Both Bride and Groom were on phones and computers making sure all details were in place but they were all very calm. I have not seen such an organized bride as of yet and Oby was a joy, ready to pose at any time.
Here are a few sneak peaks of the getting ready.
