More than Pictures: MoCreations (The Bird Eye View) !!!

Don't leave your photography to chance!!!

Reflecting back to the last wedding event I covered two things were obvious;

1. The Couple had a tough day from smiling too much

2. The whole event went in a blink of an eye.

Thankfully, I had MoCreations Photography capture the magical moments (Pre-wedding shots, arrival of family, the bridal train, the accessories, the cars, the hall, the rings, the stage, the kisses, the dance, etc...).

MoCreations Photography became a life saver where the "contracted" camera-men messed up.

It is important to plan your photograph, but truth be said, with so much to cover, it could get mind bugging.

That's where Olajumoke makes it piece-meal with a checklist of what you should cover and what is most important.

Olajumoke is a sennior photographer with MoCreations Photography, a lover of photography with a passion since early teenage years. An astute professional backed by years of industry experience and fantastic client base/works.
