Nigerian Tradition, Contemporary Romance

Fox River Grove, IL

Unforgettable celebration of

love & culture.

A vibrant celebration where modern love met Nigerian tradition, honoring heritage, community, and joy with breathtaking elegance.

Avante Banquets in Fox River Grove set the stage for their stunning 450-guest celebration, where lush florals, golden details, and refined Afro-Caribbean glamour filled the room. Traditional Edo attire and coral beads honored Aisosa’s heritage, while a thoughtful menu of Jamaican and Nigerian favorites brought both families’ cultures together. Once the music began, the dance floor stayed full, with sounds traveling from the U.K. to the U.S., then to Jamaica and Nigeria.

From the ceremony to the final song, Alex and Aisosa’s wedding was a beautiful blend of heritage, heart, and celebration, a day that honored their roots and the life they’re building together.

wedding highlights

"Anamaria photographed my Chicago wedding and I could not have asked for a better experience working with her!"

Not only is she extremely talented and professional, she is the sweetest and made me feel like she truly cares about her clients. We were blown away when we received our photos after the wedding - Anamaria did not miss a single thing and captured the day exactly like we’d dreamed of!
