When love is perfect: Bolu & Tosin’s magical engagement shoot

A Photographer’s delight!

Wedding photographer, Kevin Obosi recently unveiled one of his latest prewedding documentaries, enjoy!

How do I begin to tell the story of Bolu and Tosin? Words will fail me I swear. Trust me on that. Yeah. I have written the story of a lot of couples and done it perfectly well but these two are beyond description, wordwise. That is why I am going to show you the love they share photographically.

Love is a living thing. Love is the reason for existence. When it finds you, you live more fruitfully.

Blog Template - IB and Koye 001 (Side 1)Bolu and Tosin’s shoot was planned months before on whatsapp and on the phone. It was planned when we were considering going all the way to Greece with its ancient monuments to create the story of a love that will live in the hearts of men forever.  Blog Template - IB and Koye 002 (Side 2)The Odyssey was never undertaken though and so we settled for Tales by moonlight in Lagos to fashion out this love story.

It began in an evening at about 7pm when we had lost all the light of day,  beside the rolling waves of the Atlantic on the Lagos coastline. It was in that time, I photographed this two for  for the first time, for their pre wedding session.  Blog Template - IB and Koye 003 (Side 3)

As they watched the distant berthed ships, I watched both of them and knew I had found gold in this couple. Why do I say so? Nothing is more beautiful to watch than two souls who love themselves.

Finally we lost all the light we could muster for the day and had to wait for the next day to come before we started this shoot again.

If I had thought the last days romantic displays was a fluke, Tosin proved to me that not only was it a norm, his very DNA radiated romance and that he loved Bolu with every bit of that double helix.

These two are perfect! I keep saying that and I can’t stop saying it because the truth of it stares you in the face.

We asked Tosin to pick up that very beautiful woman he just saw at the bar and lets see how well he would do it.  Blog Template - IB and Koye 012 (Side 12) Blog Template - IB and Koye 013 (Side 13) Blog Template - IB and Koye 014 (Side 14) Blog Template - IB and Koye 015 (Side 15) Blog Template - IB and Koye 016 (Side 16) Blog Template - IB and Koye 017 (Side 17) Blog Template - IB and Koye 018 (Side 18)It took him less than 20 minutes and they were in front of his room………….baddo!!!!  Blog Template - IB and Koye 019 (Side 19)As always, I will not complete a pre wedding session without creating some beautiful art work fit for the living room wall. I just love the lines we created here.  Blog Template - IB and Koye 020 (Side 20) Blog Template - IB and Koye 021 (Side 21) Blog Template - IB and Koye 022 (Side 22) Blog Template - IB and Koye 023 (Side 23)Bolu likes long dresses.

I had to leave them both too and that was even more heart wrenching as these two had given me awesome photographs.
