The story

The house's wedding body of work, photographed in a garden with the couple, the gele, the staff and the gold aso oke all present. Yoruba, Igbo and Efik traditions each get their own look, dressed with one coherent hand.

Hand finished fringe, coral beads and beaded illusions are placed exactly where the photographs will fall, because these are the pictures that stay on the wall.

House notes

Every frame below belongs to this collection. Open any one and its flow begins, the whole shoot moving as a single sequence.

01

Gold, crimson and ivory, dressed in one hand.

Traditions honoured one after another, with one tailor's hand through them all.

Fittings for the couple, the family, and the party.

Bride in golden aso oke with gele beside her groom in mustard agbada

Gele pressed, agbada hung, corsetry laced, the morning going to plan.

We dress the ceremony, not just the bride.

The rest are spoken as you walk the room.

The wedding day planned from the first fitting.Hand finishing where the photographs will fall.Bride, groom, family, party, all dressed from one rail.Beading placed where the light lands.The album was the brief. Everything else followed.Coral, aso oke, isiagu, lace, and a house that knows all of them.It is the family diary for one day, in cloth.Every seam is finished as though it will be photographed close.Gold that catches the afternoon, ivory that holds the light.Grooms dressed with the same care as the bride, because the photograph includes both.Beads, fringe and embroidery, arranged for the camera and for the aunties.A bridal party is not decoration. It is half of the day.Some of these pieces will be inherited, which is the point.A garden, the light, and a house handling every detail between them.Silence in the fitting room when the final pin went in.Made for the day that gets described for the next forty years.Nigerian weddings, dressed properly from end to end.
