Elena and Chidi are the kind of people you really want to have as your wedding couple. Professionals, know what they want, paying attention to every single detail, and that is why I was a hundred per cent sure that their wedding day will be absolutely remarkable experience. The story starts at the bride’s house in Bromley, just where she gets ready for her big day. After arriving what I found was just pure chaos… Chaos in the good meaning of this word, friends and family, kids and parents, all of them were there, getting ready. In the air I could smell hair spray, perfumes, wedding flowers and all of that was mixed with excitement and upcoming stress before the wedding ceremony. Ceremony had place in St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Blackheath, and I have to say that I was shocked of this place. Church was built in 1891 and the founder was Father William Gowan Todd. As I said in beginning Elena and Chidi pay lots of attention to the details that’s why this church was placed for their wedding ceremony in London, on every wall you can find stained glass and in the middle a very long alley which leads to the astonishing altar where Chidi was waiting to see his future wife for a very first time on this day. After the ceremony when the stress goes down, we had a bit of time for their private wedding photoshoot in Charlton house in Charlton next to Greenwich, my favourite part of London. As I am based in London I am normally expecting quite cloudy weather, but not at Elena’s wedding. Actually was boiling hot, we got sun all day long, from early morning till night, the sun was just spoiling all guests at the wedding reception. So we just have quick wedding photos in the park just next to the Charlton house where Elena and Chidi could slow down for a second and have just a bit of time without anyone apart from me. After that is just pure madness, I don’t know if I mentioned this but that was a mixed African wedding so as an experienced wedding photographer I was ready for craziness at night… and I was not even close to a mistake. All guest was just partying hard! I don’t remember when was the last time when at a wedding reception I feel so much heat. Everything even multiplied when the bride and groom change their outfits for ceremonial African outfits and in my opinion much more comfortable. It is always big honour for me to be part of those special days. Thank you very much.
