Cameo + Todd |Greenwell State Park| E-session

fola — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:05:07 +0000

I love Cameo’s name. When I first spoke with her, I thought she said Kemi O, I was absolutely delighted thinking she was a fellow Nigerian…and so I made her spell her name out letter by letter and we ended up with Cameo and the first thing i blurted out was like the singer who wore the leather panties. Cameo laughed, a laugh that sounded like the twinkling of bells heralding the coming of worship. I laughed with her and we bonded over the phone with jokes about her name and her desires for our photography.

When Aba and I met Cameo + Todd we were struck by their obvious desire and love for one another which we strove to capture, we are delighted to be their photographers and can’t wait to capture their gorgeous wedding this fall.

We are Cameo + Todd

We are fierce and elegant

Behind my strength is a remarkable and supportive man

Together we embrace, seated in the firmness and sureness of our love

Together we stand firm and strong, bonding through times of adversity and peace

Together we kiss with the sweetness of honey dipped in the bloom of love

United we are in truth and in love

Together we rejoice in the absolute purity of the fullness of our joy

The heavens and waters of the earth bear witness to sacredness of our love

Our love is passionate

Our passion is loving and gentle

Hand in hand we walk and stand: We are Cameo + Todd

Kemi + Jeremiah | NY Engagement Session

fola — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 17:03:15 +0000

Prayer, bible study, night vigils and even more prayer filled Kemi’s life, her father had just opened his own church and as the first child she served God humbly in his household. One day her friend insisted Kemi needed more than the spiritual – Kemi resisted, she had her love for God and it nourished her soul in a way no other love could.

Her friend persisted and kept talking about an equally God-fearing young man would be a perfect match for Kemi. Eventually though she agreed to just a phone call, at least to keep her well-meaning friend of her back.

That one phone call led to many phone calls, it led to vacations together, it led to a love that was sustained by the Almighty himself – it led to Jeremiah’s proposal and Kemi’s acceptance. Today she has abundant love that nourishes her both in the physical and the spiritual.

Aba and I were glad to be in New york over the 4th of July weekend, we got to hang out with inspiring couple, Kemi + Jeremiah, we indeed are fortunate to be photographing their union this summer.

In the heart of NY, stands a couple whose love is strong and true. They are Kemi + Jeremiah.

Their love blazes like a shield around them, keeping them protected from life’s fierce winds..love the sentimentality here

Their love is like a tight grasp of the hands, it never lets go, yup we could not pry their hands apart

Jeremiah’s love for Kemi, keeps her secure and confident, it holds her up and is her pride, love this shot, the carriage guy was nice enough to lend us his carriage

Their love for one another is safe and sure – love the yellow nyc cabs, noticed most of them are ford models

Their love keeps them in each other’s arms no matter the distance they have to cross – i absolutely heart this series

Kemi’s love for Jeremiah is seen in her joy and absolute contentment to be in his arms – i heart this too

They like to share their love with others, with smiles and peace signs – only in nyc a buddisht friendly monk

But they always still end up in each other’s arms

This was their assistant for the day, she was willing to cross the brooklyn bridge for them, despite her fear of heights

Together they trust – a movie was being filmed as we walked by

Together they are

Kemi’s love for Jeremiah is evident in her respect and trust in him

Their love is dazzling and crystal clear

Together they walk, tall and sure and never to part

In love with love | Enyo + Ope | Engaged

fola — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:43:02 +0000

It was a beautiful day for love when Ope met Enyo…

They found they had lots of things in common such as kung-fu panda skills…

He never let her go even when she tried to fly,

Instead he held her tightly and kept her happy

So they decided to sit on the rocks and make future plans,

Their love glowed brightly like her ring,

Their love was sealed by a kiss.

So they danced,

So they posed

And they played.

Then they posed again

And now they are as happy as can be…

I am so glad Aba and I were there to capture it all.
