With you Every moment is a new beginning| Bolu & Tosin’s real wedding photos

Last month, we brought you Bolu and Tosin’s magical engagement shoot.

Their e-session taught us one thing “Love is a living thing. Love is the reason for existence. When it finds you, you live more fruitfully.”

The lovebirds have now walked down the aisle and their wedding photographer, Kevin Obosi has shared moments from their real wedding which held at the Landmark event center, Lagos, with us.

I have a list of favourite brides and grooms. I pray for them all the time and I can tell you, Bolu and Tosin are on that list. These two people reminded me how it feels to be loved and how to feel in love in a relationship.

When their wedding day came, I was excited and eager to watch this beautiful couple get joined in holy matrimony. Come on this journey of love and see it with me.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 001 (Side 1)It started early in the morning as they all start. With the sun rising beautifully in the east, the bride woke up to the sound of music that ushered in a day she was never to forget. The day where she wedded Tosin Adewumi, the man who had stolen her heart and given his in exchange.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 002 (Side 2)As a demonstration of that love, he sent her red roses first thing in the morning and how much she smiled at the sight as she got ready for her wedding day, putting all those little things that so much time and money had been spent on to make the day perfect.

They just were in a hurry to get ready to go help her tie the knot. Why? You will know later.Keep reading.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 009 (Side 9)Tosin was all calm and cool about his getting ready.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 010 (Side 10) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 011 (Side 11) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 012 (Side 12)And yes he is the perfect gentleman. He was ready almost as soon as he started. That was how eager he was to be beside Bolu, to say their vows.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 013 (Side 13)These ladies do not hurry when it comes to the matters of beauty. They take their time.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 014 (Side 14)though, honestly that early in the morning, some of us were more concerned with the state of our tummies, than how our lipsticks made us look radiant.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 015 (Side 15)But then, that is not a matter for consideration. The only thing that was up for consideration was Bolu getting ready and how fast she was going about that task. Trust me, she was. She kept saying, I have to be there on time.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 016 (Side 16)So leading her two princesses, Bolu marched out into the hall way of the Eko Hotel, Lagos.
Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 017 (Side 17)Hurrying or not, we quickly took out a little bit of her time to take a few shots of this beautiful bride.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 018 (Side 18) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 019 (Side 19) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 020 (Side 20) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 021 (Side 21) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 022 (Side 22) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 023 (Side 23)and her fun bridal party!  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 024 (Side 24)But we didn’t have much time to do that before we were marching into church hand in hand to witness this beautiful ceremony.

I have seen a lot of brides walk down the aisle with their fathers. What happened in this particular case i do not see a lot. Father and daughter were all smiles as they both strolled into Church. Sharing jokes and laughing giddily.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 028 (Side 28) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 029 (Side 29)That laughter continued when she got to the front of the aisle to stand with Tosin. That tells you all you need to know about the two of them right? Tosin was the perfect replacement of her dad. Her joy did not stop after leaving daddy.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 030 (Side 30) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 031 (Side 31)When the serious parts of the ceremony began, these two happily said their vows to each other.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 032 (Side 32) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 033 (Side 33) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 034 (Side 34)And you usually find members of of the audience who will remember how things were in their time as they married their wives or husbands.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 035 (Side 35)Tosin and Bolu signed off on their certificates with all enthusiasm.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 036 (Side 36)Supported by the pastors signatures, this wedding was officially sealed with evidence.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 037 (Side 37)and all present cheered joyfully  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 038 (Side 38)as the Husband and Wife were presented to the multitude.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 039 (Side 39)After church and those pictures that follow, we went to take photographs of the wedding party at a nearby hotel and we had fun with this awesome set of people.

Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 066 (Side 66)Look again, even as the chairman was talking, they were busy whispering into each others ears.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 067 (Side 67)The MC and Mrs Folorunsho Alakija had to restate a number of things for them to ensure they had good advice for their future together.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 068 (Side 68) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 069 (Side 69)I have heard a lot about Mrs Folorunsho Alakija, how humble and christianly she is.

Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 070 (Side 70)It was time for the dancing and it first began with Tosin asking his mom to dance with him for the last time as a bachelor.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 071 (Side 71)What he did not bargain for was the flood of emotions that flowed as tears out of his eyes.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 072 (Side 72) Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 073 (Side 73)Only a truly confident man will freely express his emotions with tears.  Akara Ogheneworo_s Blog Template - Tosin and Bolu - Top Nigerian Wedding Photography 074 (Side 74)When it was Bolu’s turn to dance with her father, you could see the love between them and her joy at what he had done, teaching her to find the right man.
