BellaNaija Weddings introduced you to the “LoveStruck” photo series by The Wedding Company Nigeria earlier this week {Click to Read all About It}
The first of the LoveStruck series is a model shoot titled ‘Partners In Crime’. The shoot took place at the Victoria Crown Plaza Hotel in Victoria Island.
Here is what the Wedding Company team told us about the inspiration for this shoot – “This pair are quite simply dangerously in love. Both on the wrong-side of the law, their fiery romance is centered on their passion for one thing- Lawlessness! In these images, we see our Bonnie and Clyde inspired couple staking-out in a hotel room, having passionate moments, before they take off in their getaway car, on to the next city, to cause further mayhem.“
This certainly appeals to couples who are aiming to do something a little bit edgy for their pre-wedding/e-session shoot.
Check on it.

Chai! This model is hawt! Can’t think of anything else,don’t even know the underlying story behind it…just feel like getting married today,today..because I and my guy are young and hot as this( just that my guy is a fun killer) he is a born again! *sad*
lol, that is a good thing. You will appreciate it in marriage. for now manage him ok. Thanks for making me laugh
ROFL!!!!! Blackmagic babe u too funny o
he is born again? you should be rejoicing that he is!!!!
So funny, like someone said u’ll appreciate him in marriage.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously?!
@sassycassie i was like really? whats the point of this photo shoot?
I second your comment. So what do they want us to do with these series of theirs? What value/knowledge has it added to our lives? Maiwe!
some attitude lighten up
Lol… why did u guys give the poor boy that print shirt and plaid pants. (the first outfits). Nice pics.
This is a really cool concept! Love it! I have a few ideas up my sleeve for e-session concepts not about to share them here though before you all copy copy me lol.
On a side note I hope they use real life couples for their next shoots because while the concept is cool the romance and “look of love” is lacking from these ones. A real life couple with direction will be able to pull off these looks and also exude love and romance through their photos. Their is nothing in the guy’s eyes that tells me he is in love with his chic he looks more concerned with looking good. The chick tried small in the look of love department. Wedding company consider using real life couples next time. We want to see couples that makes us go awwwwww, we want to be able to tell that they are in love just by looking at the photos a picture tells a thousand words these ones just tell me that it is another hard day at work for two models.
GBAMMMMMM!!!! The guy looked like he didnt know where to put his eyes half d time n d oda half was like ‘get me out of here!!!’
Yes. You are right. The guy isn’t displaying any emotion of love.
what for?
The girl tried but d guy didn’t complement d gal at all.
Thank you , I blame the people who dressed him up.
hmmmmn okay not bad… I get what you are trying to do now bella, The lady pulled it off quite well, something about the guy’s poses shows he is not so clyde about this bonnie.
No passion in his eyes. Good clothes from Mango and nice concept though. The guy’s expressions if gotten right woulda nailed it for me. We need to also tone down the photoshop just a notch so it looks more real. Would look forward to more none edgy ones but to encourage more engagement, you can ask couples to send their own pictures after youve done like a series of love struck. Okay I’ve written enough now, @talk2duvy over and out.
What is this for biko?
I believe a good “themed” photoshoot should be able to tell its own story, just by looking at the pictures without the need for a narrative. Compare this with Yvonne “Vixen” Ekwerre’s RASHIDA Photoshoot. Vixen’s own remind one of Fela’s girls without the need for too much talk.
To all those ignorant peeps asking what’s the point? Since you have been living under a rock engaged couples like to take engagement photos popularly known as E-sessions now the Wedding Company Nigeria is showcasing different themes such couples can incorporate into their engagement photos. Class dismissed and NO I am not affiliated to BN or the wedding company ignorance just annoys me.
Tired of Nigeria’s terrible photographers!
@ chic, ur soo on point, they dont look love struck to me o, not getting any inspiration at all, : / just blankly lookin at 2 models doing their thing.
Am i d only one that thinks the guy needs a hair cut???? confused
No chemistry at all !!
Styling gone wrong! Art direction ZERO and besides what’s this for? Bellanaija please post my comment.
Hot 😀
The guy dint look love struck to me. the female model tried. Aside that, kudos……
yuck!!
Too much Photoshop
Ugly clothes on the guy in the first few pictures.
Awkward poses that are definitely not reminiscent of love.
If this is meant to be Bonnie and Clyde themed shoot, your models did not do a good job of selling it.
Did I say too much Photoshop already?
@ K.H, can you please for the sake of the audience here, define and explain what Photoshop is and in what context is it too much or not too much. It’s heart breaking the way people who don’t know anything about photography shouts ‘Photoshop’ as if it is not a critical photographic tool.It’s because it was shot in naija and by enterprising artists, you must find a reason to condemn it.
– off – and cut the Photographer and models some slack.
looks a bit tacky to me…use beyonce and Jayz’s video…now that was more classy and still sexy…sometimes less is more. the hotel room shots were too OTT for me…my own opinion
i’m confused…
Unfortunatley, The Wedding Company just went down a notch in my book of ‘Chic Organizations’. I actually thought it was a totally classy company. Bellanaija.com BLAZED the trail with the photoshoot campaigns’. Thankfully you have the reviews from bellanaija fans to digest. Wrong PR move. Please go back and re-strategize ehn, and probably hire the PR firm that did bellanaijas’ for them. Biko!
what’s this about again?! :s
YCFOnline.com
dis guy’s POSIN…..HMMMMMMM.D GUY JST DONT HAV DT MODEL TIN IN HIM BIKO
U musnt necessarily use realife couples to achieve what u want @wedding photographers…my humble opinion is not to tell ur models to pose… Give dem d Beach to play with, tell dem to scatter d hotel room (for it not to look impeccable)e.t.c and snap away. Dere’S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ no how u won’t get a sweeet nice touch, an atmosphere of love, and d feeling dat ur “watching public” will crave for….nevertheless, I tip ma heart to [email protected] model, I sight u.
Dey both did really well especially d guy…Nigerans just love criticising everything,u pple can Neva appreciate something gud …well done Richard,my learning colleague..
Thumbs υρ Richard XA! Our hot ‘born again’ model.☺
Richy you hot ß®O̷̴̷̷̴̲̗̲̐̀̐ …kip D๏ɨɲǥ your thing GOD ȋ§ on your side….XA!
Criticisms some constructive,some dynamites..
Nevertheless we learn, we improve and get better ..
Better implementation of ideas next time..
Iyke You’ve said it all. They both did well. The 7th shoot sent a message. And the last is jst wow!!!….kudos joor
Richie, u were great man. Ppl will always criticize u no matter how good u are. Remember, if no 1 talks about u, then u are nobody. That was a good shoot dude.
Nice outfits, but should have gone with a different concept, there’s nothing romantic about crime
Nigerians…smh!! y’all just dont get it some times. Nice concept jor!! Kudos…
i love this!!!! its romantic
The very first picture and the last are the best of the lot.
The wedding company – My peoples, when am I going to get to do my own shooot oooooo
I loved it. I like the concept of telling a story without using any words. And also, if you can’t use photoshop in a photoshoot, when will you be able to use it? In the first post they mentioned they would use married couples and models, and that’s their decision. They can do that if they want to! Also I think the models tried, the man seemed a little bland, but the girl was fantastic though.
the sixth picture actually looks like the guy is saying “no mummy, i dont want breast milk”…
wowowowowow, its romantic.
