Ade and Ola | Kent Event Photographer

Ola and Ade kindly invited me to capture some special memories from their 40th birthday celebration at the end of February. What can I say! This was a 40th birthday like no other. At one point in the afternoon some of their closest family and friends took it in turns to say how they met this fantastic couple and what wonderful blessings they have been to their lives. It was a privilege to hear all the heartwarming stories, one after the other after the other, and I often had to pick my jaw off the floor due to the tales of their strong friendship, generosity, support and encouragement Ola and Ade had given to so many.

Ola and Ade do so much, I definitely need to learn some time management skills from them! I was speaking to Ola leading up to the event and we were chatting about how Ola had decided to decorate the venue herself which was making her week a bit busier. When I arrived I thought 'oh Ola must have gone with a company' as the hall looked lovely, but no, Ola had designed and sourced it all and even set up her own company Decorola! Also towards the end of the celebration Ade shared how as a family they have just set up a charity initiative called Feet of Hope providing new shoes to children in developing and deprived areas across the globe. Over 190 pairs have already been distributed in Tanzania. Without a doubt Ola and Ade deserved all the love and praise they received at their celebration. 

I hope you enjoy looking through a few of my favourites....
