Otiato Guguyu
The first advise I got when shooting wedding photography was to shoot everything and anything hoping that you will get a few decent shots through.
But as a writer I am always inclined to stories that image clarity and lighting, what I wanted was frames that could take my subjects back to moments that would be memorable.

My people love dancing and you could always feel the way music took them to states where they were oblivious of the camera and gave the most honest expressions of themselves.
Dancing like singing is internal regardless of the motions they inspire outside.
Show me the bling
After the church ceremony we went to Che's bay, CS Ababu Namwamba's beach resort on the shores of Lake Victoria for the photo shoot.
I wanted a pose where the could flaunt their rings but it did not come out as I had anticipated.

Photoshoot
At the photoshoot I went mostly for relief, after the strenuous months of planning, worrying, anxiety it all came down to calm achievement and belly laughs.
