It started with a swipe right…
In May 2015, Tolu and Emerald, two ambitious young professionals living and enjoying the city life in Washington, DC, “matched” on Tinder, a popular dating app. Tolu says he was looking for love (hmmm!), and Emerald…well she was mainly in search of a nice guy that could offer good company and great conversation. (A fun trip to the Caribbean would be a nice bonus, but she wasn’t holding her breath.)
After messaging back and forth for a couple of days, Tolu invited Emerald on a dinner date. He was curious to see if this woman, who seemed to have great conversation and great looks, would be just as beautiful in person. And that is where our love story begins…
I’ve known Emerald for quite sometime. She authored a wedding blog a few years ago. Never did I imagine that we’d one day be photographing her wedding years later.
Anye and I were honored to be a part of their festivities. We can’t wait for the next chapter in their lives.
