Sope & Seyi's Same Day Edit - Calgary

Lately we've had the privilege of filming a few Nigerian weddings and events. Each time is so enjoyable because it's truly a celebration and for Mosope and Oluseyi it was not hard to have that feeling of celebration especially with so much dancing and culture. We were given a unique opportunity to capture not only the church ceremony but also the traditional Nigerian Ceremony. It's really a time where they praise God, and experience not just the joining of two people, but two families. There's a lot of singing, praising, bantering and dancing all in an effort for the groom and his entourage to find acceptance from the bride's family. Finally the bride and her party arrive and are greeted with dollar bills and an array of gifts on a table. Among the gifts is a box containing a ring, gifted by the groom and when Sope found it and accepted it Seyi put it on her and the families rejoiced. It really added to their recap to be able include these celebratory moments and really feel the culture deeply ingrained in the couple and all participating. It made the edit a little harder but definitely worth it when you're able to see more of a story as and allow a little more of their personality to shine through. Enjoy Sope and Seyi. A Cultural Experience.
