It is exciting to share this amazing African influenced wedding!  The groom is from Nigeria and the bride is 2nd generation Ethiopian.  Merging these cultures together was interesting enough, but when you add the style of a North American wedding, we knew it was something special.  Please check back each day as this wedding will be posted in Three posts.  First up is the American gown, a stunning Monique Lhuillier!

  • Shaun David - Nice work, I love the fine detail in this wedding and you captured it so well.

  • Adis - Beautiful wedding!! I love the venue and the couple. I particularly loved the wedding favor; the Ethiopian pink and cream cloth. Do you by chance know where the couple purchased those items. Thanks.

Here is the third and final dress. Both the bride and groom changed into their traditional Nigerian wedding clothes; what a charming way to honor his heritage. I love the brides traditional Ethiopian head dress!   Happy Friday everyone!  Just in case you missed the first two dresses, check out Part 1 and Part 2.
