Onyinye & Chima | 23 March 2011 | 12 Apostles

Onyinye & Chima travelled all the way from Edinburgh, Scotland to have their wedding here in our beautiful country :) Both are from Nigeria originally, and I was floored to hear they'd already had a 700-guest-strong traditional wedding in Nigeria! We joked that this celebration was almost akin to the two of them doing 'dinner for two' by comparison ;)

What I love about Onyinye and Chima is that, as glamorous and hot as they are (yes hot is the only word for it!) - they shared SO many tender, quiet moments amidst the hustle and bustle. You can see how much they deeply and passionately love each other, and that is a thing of beauty :) They also have so much FUN together - I loved all of the teasing, giggling and laughter that permeated the day :)

Onyinye & Chima, I am so grateful to have met you and to have had the privilege of capturing your most special of days :) Wishing you a lifetime of the happiness, love and fun that you guys clearly share :)

Blessings & love

Here are some of my favorites from their day :)

CT brought the WIND in a major way, as you can see :)

 The rooms at the 12 Apostles are beautiful with awesome things to 'play' with for details photos :)

 Onyinye wore one stunner of a Pronovias gown!

 Love loved her bracelet and the turquoise color here :)

 False lashes are absolutely beautiful for really giving the eyes some pop :)

 The dashing groom, Chima :)

 They both come from super good-looking families! Their kids are gonna be pretty gorgeous ;)

 Like I said, gooooo-looking family genes going on here! This is her beautiful sister Gogo :)

 Mmmmf, my camera had a serious love affair with this girl!

 A little gangsta bride ;)

 

Daddy seeing her for the first time :)

 Sjoe it was windy!!!

 Love Chima's face here ;)

 Love it when a couple laughs like this together :)

 Onyinye had her heart set on beach photos, but with the wind howling the way it was, we were worried we'd get blown away, or sandblasted! We said a quick prayer and sped off to Llandudno, where, miraculously, there was only a small bit of wind! :)

 So tender :)

 We had a right giggle over the instructions for this one ;)

 Hot hot hot ;)

 Love the colors in this one!

 Super suave groom :)

 And his hawt bride!

 Serious Vogue material - sass one minute and then just elegant beauty the next!

 Heehee, this was unscripted ;)

A little bit of gangsta signage!

 Runway much?! ;)

 This brave girl clambered up the side of the mountain in those heels just to catch the sunset - proud of ya! :)

 Sjoewee!

 GQ ;)

 Onyinye's Mom is awesome :)

 Her Dad made an awesome speech with some great marriage advice.

 And her brother had everyone in hysterics with laughter ;)

 The cutting of the cake and the shmooshing of the face ;)

 Best wedding crashers ever!!

 Long-lost friends ;)

 Their first dance was the coolest I have ever seen! Seriously, they started off with a beautiful slow dance to 'At Last' which then broke out into 'I Like Big Butts & I Cannot Lie' and they BURNT UP the dance floor!

 All of the dancing was freaking amazing, serious skills here!!
