Some weddings just stay with you, and Serena and Omotayo’s was definitely one of them.

Bringing together Serena’s Jamaican heritage and Omotayo’s Nigerian roots, their wedding in Essex was a beautiful celebration of love, family and culture.

With a church ceremony, a registry ceremony and a proper party to finish, it felt like three celebrations rolled into one. Serena had three stunning looks throughout the day, and there was so much energy, colour and joy from beginning to end.


It was such a pleasure to capture, and definitely one of those weddings I’ll always remember.
