Novisi + Daniel = Blessed!

Posted on by Rodney Quarcoo

One of our most eventful weddings yet!  Novisi and Daniel invited @RQVphoto to document their special day and Lord knows it was special!  All went beautifully, until the heavens opened and our newly-weds were truly blessed at their reception!

Novisi was a trooper with smiles all through the rain and finally it stopped and the party started!  See how it unfolded with Fusion Movies and photos below.

God bless you, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur.

Chef's Table with Don Emilio // The Kitchen

Posted on by Rodney Quarcoo

20121206: A brilliant afternoon spent in the bustling kitchen of the Labadi Beach Hotel.  We were invited by Executive Chef Gary Lane while he and his troop of culinary ninjas were prepping to host the hotel's General Manager Adrian Landry and Don Emilio.

We did some documentary style photos capturing them at work.

All food lovers, myself included, know that the delicious dishes that come through the swivel doors of Gary's kitchen are to die for - they are simply delicious edible art pieces!  

It was fun observing Gary and his army at work.   Can't wait to catch them at the next Chef's Table!

Hakeem's bio on Facebook reads "Honestly I detest the word "I" especially when it comes to describing oneself. It has this connotation of arrogance moreso when one cannot validly claim success without divine intervention. So the description will be left to those who truly know me." 

Hakeem shoots with us for 2 days!  Call Golda on 0244828322 for booking and prices, do not miss out - just come through to RQV Photo Studio now!  We are here today 21st and tomorrow 22nd December 2012!
