Marie & Ayinde - A first for the second shooter

For anyone who I've done a wedding for in recent time would have noticed that I now have a second shooter with me, well...most times.

My second shooter is Ayinde, a talented photographer in his own right and for a while the whole engagement thing has been hanging in the air for him and his girlfriend Marie.

So the phone rings yesterday and its Ayinde telling me his master proposal plan and of course, I'm included, after Ayinde realizes that he can't take his own photos :-) so off I go to the secluded spot where Ayinde has orchestrated a perfect "picnic" setting, including appropriate background music.

I came a bit late for the actual proposal but from the afterglow, I could see that things had gone well. I only stuck around for a couple minutes to record the important details because I'm sure they didn't want me spoiling the beautiful "just engaged" ambiance ;-)

Well done Ayinde and Marie.

This was the setting...Marie was actually pretty suprised when I appeared.


The Classic "tick box" proposal and after she said yes, he made her sign just to seal the deal.

Congrats to Ayinde & Marie. Great photos, Juma. Though you were there briefly, the photos tell of a deep story.
