Natasha & Mbugua
There are days that simply happen. And then there are days like this onea love that feels calm, steady, and very much at home. Simply, entirely, Theirs. This was our first time documenting a court wedding and honestly, it was such a refreshing experience. Natasha and Mbugua said their vows legally, simply, and meaningfully, surrounded by the people who matter most. No pressure, no fuss, just a couple sealing their bond in the most grounded way. What stood out most was how new they still felt. Years in, two beautiful daughters later, and yet they still looked at each other like day one. Natasha was glowing; joyful, open, fully present and Karanja just kept smiling like a man who knew he’d found his peace. The whole day felt like a quiet celebration of friendship, family, and doing things your way. After the ceremony, they had a relaxed family lunch, soft moments, laughter, and blessings from parents. No timeline rush, just time to breathe and be. And that’s what made it special, they didn’t try to do the most. They did what mattered. And we got to witness that kind of calm love up close.

Evans & Keziah
Unhurried, sun-kissed, and soul-deep. A celebration that moved with intention.A love that breathed easy, in a place that let it be. It wasn’t loud. It was right. We’ve known Evans and Keziah for a minute, from their engagement shoot with their son, we already knew these two don’t just love each other, they genuinely enjoy each other. They laugh like kids, but you can also tell they’ve been through things and have each other’s back for real. And when they told us the wedding would be in the wild again? Say less, we were in. Now, if you’ve ever been to a typical Kenyan wedding, you know the drill: 5am call time, pressure from aunties, 43 different locations, and zero breathing room. But this one? The day started at 4PM. Yes, you read that right. Everyone was chill. The bride and groom took their time in their own villas, the light was soft, the breeze was on our side, and guests were just out there sipping cocktails and vibing like it was the softest Sunday ever. Keziah came through with a golden beige dress that fit like a dream, not your typical bridal look, and honestly? It was perfect. Later she switched it up with a white jumpsuit that screamed “it’s time to dance.” They exchanged vows under that glowing Kitengela sky, surrounded by people who knew them deeply. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t rushed. It was just… right. As the sun dipped, we all moved into the reception under twinkling fairy lights, and the energy stayed consistent, calm but full of heart. There was laughter, dancing, really good food, and a whole lot of joy. At some point, Michael Bublé was playing, couples were swaying, and we kinda forgot we were even working. It didn’t feel like your typical wedding. It felt like a slow exhale. And we loved every second of it! A Story in Every Frame This gallery holds more than images — it holds a feeling. Soft winds, slow kisses, little laughs, and a love that didn’t rush. You’ll see family, freedom and couples who showed up fully as themselves, a celebration with soul, A wedding with zero pressure. It was a moment stretched gently across an evening — effortless, heartfelt, and impossibly warm. A little wild. A lot real. And it was perfect.

Daniel & Muthoni
Two soul-friends, one quiet promise, and the warmest kind of joy A day that unfolded gently — like it already knew where it was going. From the minute we stepped into Muthoni’s parents’ home that morning, we could feel it, this was going to be one of those weddings that doesn’t try too hard. It was chill, intimate, rooted in culture, and beautifully unhurried. Aunties were singing in the background, her girls were laughing softly in the next room, and Muthoni? She was just calmly glowing, taking her time, like she knew this was her day, and she was going to live it slowly. The handover ceremony was so full of meaning; that quiet moment of tradition where she leaves home, surrounded by the women who raised her, to join a new family. And then, the Rolls Royce pulled up, giving just the right touch of old-school cool. She stepped out at the church, met by Daniel’s smile, you know the kind that doesn’t fade for hours? That was him. They exchanged vows with full hearts and zero rush, and the whole cathedral felt like it was exhaling with them. Now onto the shoot, listen, these two? Soul friends. That’s the only way we can explain it. They didn’t need poses. They just… were. Daniel kept leaning into her like home. Muthoni would smile in that soft “I’ve got you” way. They kept whispering, “Baby, I love you” like they were the only ones in the world. We barely gave direction, they were in their own rhythm, resting in each other’s arms and we just followed. If we were to describe them in one line? She’s the solid one; warm, grounded, the protector. He’s the breeze; playful, easy, full of heart. And together? They just work. It was beautiful to witness. Like watching best friends promise to keep choosing each other forever. A Story in Every Frame What we captured here was ease. Intention. The kind of love that doesn’t need to speak loudly to be heard. From sacred traditions to soft laughter, Daniel and Muthoni let the day carry them — and it did, beautifully. She’s the calm — strong, grounded, steady. He’s the breeze — warm, open, full of heart. Together, they just work. It was never about spectacle. It was always about soul.

A Nikah wrapped in softness, guided by tradition, and styled to perfection. Quiet Love so powerful it doesn’t demand attention, but commands it anyway From the moment we arrived, we could feel it — Yasmin and Abdi had that quiet kind of chemistry that doesn’t need to be loud. He looked at her like she was the only one in the room. And she? She glowed. Not the staged kind of glow, but the warm, calm kind that tells you she felt seen, safe, and deeply loved. Later, at the ladies’ reception, the energy flipped — vibrant, joyous, and completely electric. Ululations, gowns that shimmered, and a room full of women simply owning the night.

There are times when a hotel room is too crowded or simply unappealing; we have to take the dress all the way down to the lobby or even outside. This can take some time, but as you can see from the results, it’s well worth the additional work.

Also, keep in mind that the window lighting in most hotel rooms creates a unique look that can’t be duplicated in any environment throughout the rest of the day. FIRST LOOK AND DAYTIME COUPLES SESSION Ideal Time Allotment – 45-60 minutesIdeal Time of the Day – Morning or Early AfternoonIdeal Location – Venue Garden, Empty Venue Hallway (shaded areas with natural light) Advice – The first look should be around 45-60 minutes. During this time, the bride and groom enjoy seeing each other for the first time on the wedding day. While the actual first look might only be 5-10 minutes, the rest of the time is spent on a few basic portraits of the bride and groom. Ideally, we are saving the bulk of the couples session for later (see the “couples session” section below). However, if there is no other time in the day, it is best to allocate another 45 minutes to an hour here so that we make sure we have enough photos of just you two. WEDDING PARTY PHOTOS Ideal Time Allotment – 20 – 30 minutesIdeal Time of the Day – Morning or AfternoonIdeal Location -Venue Lobby, Venue Garden, Beach, Park, Off-site Location Advice – Wedding Party Photos should be around 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Some couples have decided that they want a picture with all guests while others have decided that they only want pictures with select VIPs to save time. We recommend something in between. We also recommend being very organized, with a list of groups and helpers from each side of the family to help round people up.
