Kris and Nyambura Wedding

by mwarv July 30, 2013

It’s been a while since I blogged a wedding so this post is special in many ways.

First, because it is a come-back post to a photography genre that I love, and secondly, because it’s was my first wedding for 2013.

Kris and I were buddies in high school and have managed to keep in touch over the years – almost twenty of them!

He called me last year and asked me to capture the glorious moments as he got married to Nyambura and I quickly accepted. I knew it wasn’t possible to capture the entire day by myself so I called upon the talents of Allan Gichigi, Helen Kinuthia and Wamuyu Kiragu. Click on their names to see their impressive work. It was great shooting seamlessly as a team but it seems we were quite trigger happy on the day as we shot over 4,000 photos, which, as any photographer will tell you, is a lot of photos.

Not for Kris and Nyambura though – they both love photos and were happy to have them all!

Here’s how the day was, as told not in 4,000 but 28 photos, which, going by this blog’s standards, is a lot of photos.

Wamuyu and I started the day in Kikuyu where Nyambura was getting ready for her big day.

Allan and Helen were with Kris on the other side of Nairobi in Lavington.

I don’t think Allan and Helen indulged.

Nyambura loves to laugh. And Kris made sure she had many moments to do so.

Before the reception, we returned to the Norfolk for some more shots.

Nyambura getting down with her grandma was quite a moment.

I need to be carrying more business cards to weddings – all those ladies awaiting the bouquet are potential clients!

    I love the side mirror shot as well as the one where she’s about to throw the bouquet, fantastic timing. Good work!
