Abiola and Femi’s wedding ceremony was so beautiful and timeless. The couple had a 3 in one celebration of love with their vow exchange, traditional wedding and reception all in one day and in one place. The view from the venue makes it refreshing to see, adding a bit of natural vibe to it. Right after the vows exchange, they proceeded to the reception and it was lots of fun. Check out their super chilled pre-wedding shoot here.

For their traditional engagement, the couple gave us every reason to love the Yoruba culture. From the beautiful blue AsoOke outfit they both rocked, to the gifts and the traditional rites performed, the couple delivered an amazing ceremony throughout the day.

Here’s a little backstory of how they met
By the bride, Abiola

Femi and I met at Brunel University, West London. Femi was studying for his masters degree in 3D animation while I was studying for my first degree with a module in the same department. We became friends since then and kept in touch as we pursued our careers in filmmaking. We didn’t date until after school in 2016 when I was in search of a cinematographer for my project in Ghana and reached out to Femi. Working on preproduction for the project brought us closer and we decided to take our friendship to the next level.
