The Photoshoot Theme
Almost all of us has watched the popular movie Coming To America. A story packed with romance, royalty and love for the African audience. It’s only befitting to have a real wedding recreation; reminding us that true love does exist.

The Decorations
More than before, a lot more couples (and even more celebrity couples) are bringing back to life, the beauty and diversity of the Nigerian culture. This reflects in everything; from the outfits to the decorations, you'd always find a mass of culture.
One of our favourite decors yet, we call it a fiery mystical and surreal ambience. Europen chandeliers are replaced with African basket chandeliers with the ever-present touch of nature. It's a wonderful view of luscious greenery, representing fruitfulness, nature, freshness, and all that is good.
