Upon eventually agreeing to be man and wife, a couple can go to far lengths to prove the depth of their love for each other. It is in the act of showing how deep and wide their affections are that many lovers take pre-wedding photo shoots. In line with this recent tradition of proving love through visual images, a Nigerian soldier decided to show the length and breadth of his own affection by weaving his profession into the pre-wedding shots he took with his soon-to-be bride. Being a soldier of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the young man put on his full soldier regalia in his bid to make his pre-wedding shoots a special one.




Here are lovely pre-wedding pictures of a Nigerian soldier and his fiancee ahead of their union in a few months time. Even more, in the photos that have been making rounds on social media, his wife took a cue from him and also wore the customary attires of soldiers. In addition, the couple put their uniform wears to good use. The soldier identified as Iliya Tanko Jacob will tie the knot to his partner, Esther Ahudiya Philemon, on April 6th at the LCC Shagari lowcost in Maiduguri, Borno state capital. The couple have released their pictures ahead of the wedding. Congratulations to them in advance.

A pre-wedding shoot, often referred to as an engagement shoot, is a photo shoot that usually takes place three to six months prior to the wedding day. Though pre-wedding shoots have become a necessity for most, a lot of couples have started debating on whether or not they should have one. Some couples think it’s a waste of money and has no use at all. Well, on that case, they might be wrong.

An engagement shoot can actually help you in a few different ways. First, it helps you build a good rapport with your photographer, especially if you’re hiring the same one to document your wedding day. You will feel more comfortable with your photographer and also get to know his or her shooting style. For your photographer, it’s also the time to get to know more about you as a couple; your characters, how affectionate you are with each other, how formal or casual your styles are. This way, they can create suitable settings that will flatter the both of you during your pre-wedding shoot and wedding day.
