MOE'S BRIDESMAIDS ANNOUNCEMENT
OMOBOLA IS SO EXCITED TO BEGIN PLANNING HER WEDDING SCHEDULED IN 2019. FOR MANY OF US, THIS IS BOUND TO BE AN INSTANT CLASSIC BASED ON THE FACT THAT MANY OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE WELL KNOWN IN THE AFRICAN COMMUNITY IN CHICAGO. THIS MADE IT A GREAT PLEASURE FOR ME TO BE CHOSEN AS THE PHOTOGRAPHER, FOR HER ANNOUNCEMENT TO HER FRIENDS SPECIALLY CHOSEN AS HER BRIDESMAID. MOE AS MOST OF US KNOW HER, IS LIKE A SISTER TO ME. WE WENT TO COLLEGE TOGETHER, ALONG WITH HER OLDER BROTHER WHO WAS IN MY INNER CIRCLE AS ONE OF MY MAIN GUYS.
THIS PROJECT WAS PERSONAL TO ME, BECAUSE I’M STILL FORCING MY WAY INTO THE SCENE AS A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. SO, THE ART OF STORYTELLING THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY HAD TO BE EVIDENT AND TO BE LATER FEATURED AS PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE OF HER WEDDING. THE STORY GOES AS THIS, MOE WANTED TO GATHER ALL HER GIRLS TO THE DRAKE HOTEL IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO TO FORMALLY ASK THEM TO BE HER BRIDESMAID. THIS WILL BE DONE IN THE FAMOUS PALM COURT OVER A CUP OF TEA AND SOME SWEATS.
I WORKED AROUND THE LIMITED SPACE AND MIRROR TO CAPTURE THE MOMENTS AND DETAILS TO HELP TELL HER STORY. ENJOY!….
