How would everyone know you and your boo go together like rice and stew, beans and garri, noodles and bread, if you don’t get up close and personal in your pre-wedding pictures? Show this picture to your photographer and make sure you and your lover’s chemistry jumps out for all to see

After all the time you’ve spent with your baby, you most likely move like twins. This picture would show everyone that you and your baby are one, and if they see the LOYL, they’ve seen you.

If you’re sure beyond all reasonable doubt that you and your partner are the coolest people on earth, this is for you. You’d freeze your steeze in time so all the generations after you can bear witness.

If you don’t want to show everyone and their daddy your baby’s face, then this is the one for you.

Silhouettes

You and your baby can look at each other, at the ring, or even at the sunset. You and the samosa in your small chops pack can do anything as long as your photographer knows he’s capturing your silhouettes and the essence of your love.

If you and your partner really think about it, you don’t need money, your face cards are enough payment for anything you need, so you better show it off.

Glam

Are you really in love if you haven’t shown everyone how stupendously good you and your sugar plum look together? Bonus points if you can do it in full glam, and we know you can.

Why tell everyone personally that you’re heading to the altar with the apple of your eye when you could just take pictures like this and announce it in style?

You and your partner have waited for each other forever, and now that you’ve found your missing rib, you can’t wait for the whole world to see.
