The incomparable Jide and his team did an amazing job for not only our engagement photos but also our wedding photos. My husband does not like to take pictures and sometimes can be difficult as a result. I myself am also camera shy. Jide is very friendly and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the cameras. Everyone thought he was amazing just because of his personality alone. Our engagement and wedding photos came out amazing. It was very rich in color and his shots were amazing. He captured the moments that we can look at for years to come. Thanks Jide for doing a phenomenal job with documenting one of the best days of our lives.

It just can’t get any better than Alakija Studios! My husband and I both work in the wedding industry so we come across many photographers. But when it came time to choose our own wedding photographer there was no doubt in our mind that Alakija Studios was the one. We were so impressed by Jide’s talent and knew immediately that his documentary style was what we wanted to capture the best day of our lives. His personality on the wedding day was just what we needed to feel relaxed so that we could get the best possible photos. The first time I looked at our gallery I was brought to tears. I still look at my photos in awe and I can’t believe we were lucky enough to have him document our day. Please do not hesitate to book him! He is highly sought after for a reason. You won’t regret it!

I have absolutely no regrets in choosing Alakija Studios for my wedding photography! Jide and his assistants were so easy to work with and professional! Our engagement photos turned out stunning and our Wedding portraits were absolutely beautiful. I’ve received a lot of compliments on them. He was easy to reach, arrived on time, responded to all of my questionnaire in a timely manner. What else could you ask for?
Lola and Yinka
My experience with Jide was great. Alakijastudios knows his onions, and it came across in the photos from our shoot. He is great at directing - ensuring our best was reflected in the photos, versatile - resourcefully getting unique frames from just 2 outfits, and highly creative.
In addition, his customer service is exemplary as he made us feel at ease, and ended the shoot by introducing us to his favorite shake.

I was looking for someone who could document our wedding well as this was the most important thing or my wife and me. We were looking for a photographer who could capture moments as well as give us timeless portraits; it is very difficult to find a photographer who can offer this complete package. Often times couples just look at Instagram and finalize their photographer, but to fully judge a photographer’s skill you have to look their full gallery. I am photographer and I have never seen such a flawless full product like the one Jide produces. Every image has a reason to exist and has been processed very well. During 14 hours of wedding photography, Jide photographed with more than 100 percent attention span. There were shots that we never thought could be captured that he somehow managed to capture for us.
5 reasons why you need to hire Alakija Studios:
Jide gives his 100 percent on the wedding; trust me even more than 100 throughout the day.
Very professional services, you are investing in reliability as well as art here. They care about their clients.
Full gallery images are so cohesive, and every image is its own work of art.
They understand how to light images and how to edit different skin tones very well.
You will feel how genuine their overall product is.
As a photographer myself I feel so privileged to have had Jide and Alakija Studios document our wedding. Jide immortalized some moments which I am sure no one else could have been able to capture.
Thank you Alakija Studios!
