NIGERIAN WEDDING

STYLISH CULTURAL WEDDINGS

Looking for wedding photography that will capture the vibrant colours and excitement of your traditional Nigerian wedding?

Nigerian traditional wedding pictures don't have to be boring or cliche. The ceremonies are so full of life and colour and I love bringing my editorial twist to your cultural love story.

More than anything, traditional weddings are all about family! As a Nigerian wedding photographer, my team and I don't just focus on your lovebirds but make sure we document all your loved ones who are there to share in your joy and support you.

We cut through the noise and chaos that often comes with a traditional Nigerian wedding and focus on the moments that really matter and that you’ll want to remember for years to come.

I offer a curated blend of editorial details, gorgeous romantic portraits and emotionally charged moments that help tell your wedding day love story. Your experience is then topped with your precious memories beautifully presented in a handcrafted heirloom wedding album of your choice.

So whether you are planning a Yoruba, Ibo, Hause, Delta or any other traditional Nigerian traditional wedding in the UK, I would love to help document this chapter of your love story!

After we got married, people would ask us who our favourite vendor was and without hesitation, Toks and I would yell WANI OLATUNDE!

We felt that Wani really made the effort to get to know us and ensured that the wedding pictures reflected our personalities. We knew what we wanted from our wedding pictures and she delivered!

Everything was perfect, from the communication, quick turnaround and near 600 shots of beautiful high quality pictures that we will treasure forever. We can’t thank and recommend Wani enough! A truly photographic genius.

CAN I SEE A WHOLE WEDDING?

Checking out a photographer's full portfolio is certainly the best way to understand your photographer’s style and capability. My blog showcases highlights of the weddings I shoot and when we meet up for your pre-wedding consultation, I will show you different styles of albums.

HOW DO WE RESERVE OUR WEDDING DATE WITH YOU?

Your wedding date is not reserved until your retainer and signed contract are received. The retainer is a flat rate of £500. Please note this is NON-REFUNDABLE as it is payment for me marking my calendar off, which isn’t something I can do for free. The balance is due 14 days before the wedding date.

ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL AROUND THE UK FOR MY WEDDING?

Most definitely. I'm based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire but I'm able to photograph weddings in Buckingham, Bedford, Luton, Oxford, Cambridge, Bicester, Essex, Kent and London. I also cover all 3 counties of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL FOR MY DESTINATION WEDDING?

Absolutely!!! I love visiting new destinations with each wedding. So far my wedding photography has taken me all over the world. Some of the places I have photographed weddings included Washington DC, Jamaica, South Africa, Jamaica, Zimbabwe and Nigeria. To get a tailored quote for your specific destination, do get in touch.

DO WE NEED AN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT?

Highly recommended! Engagement sessions are perfect for a number of reasons: First it helps you become more comfortable in front of the camera as well as with your photographer. It gives your photographer a chance to know you and how you photograph in terms of great angles etc. You'll also get beautiful and professional images you can use on your wedding website, "Save the Date" cards, e-vites, wedding signature frame, wedding signing book and souvenirs at the wedding reception to name a few.

DO I NEED A WEDDING ALBUM?

At Wani Olatunde Photography, we believe deeply in the timelessness of printed products. If I had a penny for every time a client has come back to say they have lost their USB of images, I could probably retire. Potential loss of images aside, WOP is very much about creating heirloom printed products that you and your family can enjoy for decades to come.

I love the idea that every time you look through your wedding album, you get to remember why you love each other and share that love story with your family and loved ones. It isn't quite the same looking at a couple of images in your phone thrown in among your selfies and random phone pictures. So yes, I would highly recommend including a wedding album in your wedding photography budget.

MY FIANCE AND I HATE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED! CAN YOU HELP?

Absolutely! During the portraits sessions, I give simple directions that allow you both to find your rhythm. The most important goal always is to make sure you feel comfortable with what you are doing. The rest of the day, my team and I will simply be documenting the day as it unfolds so you can just focus on enjoying your day with your loved ones. We'll take good care of you, promise!

DO YOU CARRY SPARE EQUIPMENT?

Yes, I always carry backup cameras, flashes and lenses. I am prepared for anything.🙂

DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ONLY WEDDINGS?

No! Portraiture is a significant part of my business and this includes maternity, baby, children and family shoots. I also offer bridal boudoir shoots for brides to be who would like a unique gift for hubby. You can find out more about my portrait work at waniolatundeportraits.com.
