At First glance, you may look at this album and think, this was a 8 hour minimum wedding day. However don’t let the abundance of photos fool you!
Nikki and Toye, were one of the many couples who were planning a wedding during the pandemic. They originally were going to have a large traditional african wedding.
If you have ever been to one of those, you know that it is full of lots and lots of fun and people! Nikki and Toye had under 30 Guests at their wedding, and had to make lots of changes, but they still had lots of fun on thier special day. We still managed to fit it,cake cutting, reception games, and a first dance!
Planning a wedding can be a hard thing, but how do you plan a full day in only a few hours?
Nikki, Toye and myself had many meetings, and I helped them build a time line for what was most important to them. The couple ended up booking a intimate wedding package of two hour coverage and here is a snippet of what we captured!
I know these are hard times for everyone, and the wedding industry may not be what it once was, with needing to keep everyone safe, but this does not mean you can not have a blast on your wedding day, even if it looks a little differntly.
nICOLE AND TOYE’S pARENTS WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE WEDDING DAY DUE TO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS DURING COVID. THIS PART OF THE WEDDING WAS WHEN BOTH THE COUPLES HAD FAMIY AND LOVED ONES RECORD A SPECIAL MESSAGE. it was a emotional time for the couple, especially nicole, who held it together until she heard her moms voice.
after the SPEECHES the couple did a first dance and it was simply perfect.
