Have you ever felt the beauty of love and culture shine through outfits? That was what The Michael Collins aimed for while capturing this stunning Igbo traditional shoot, and it was achieved beautifully.

The beautiful looks are crowned by regal akwete fabric, a wonderful ode to generations of rich culture. The styling is impeccable, and it’s just the perfect inspo for couples planning to celebrate their love story with culture at the centre. All hands were on deck to bring this masterpiece together, and the result is a stunning work of art.

Here’s how the photographer describes the shoot:

The theme of this shoot is to showcase love and culture and to reach out to brides and intending couples. The inspiration while shooting was to curate an environment filled with love, yet letting the beauty of the outfits stand out. This was a creative collaborative shoot. From the stylist down to the designers, the makeup artist, models, gele artist, videographer and photographer. Everyone contributed to making this beautiful piece come to life.
