Formal outdoor portraits from a celebration in northern Nigeria

In the city of Gura Top, Nigeria, a man with dark skin and short hair, wearing a blue and plaid long-sleeved shirt and light brown pants, stands with his back to the camera, holding a smartphone to take a photo of a woman. The woman, also with dark skin and dark hair, wears a long, fitted white lace dress with a plunging neckline adorned with gold beads and pearls. She has white lace sleeves and a train that trails on the ground. She holds a single white flower in her right hand. In the background, another woman in a black dress and holding a black bouquet stands on a staircase leading to a modern building with gray walls and white trim. Lush green plants surround the staircase and the building. The ground is paved with light brown hexagonal tiles.

In Jos, Nigeria, three women are posing for a photograph outdoors. The woman in the foreground, positioned centrally, wears a long, white lace dress with sheer sleeves and a beaded neckline. She holds a white calla lily in her right hand. To her left, another woman stands on a stone staircase wearing a traditional white wedding dress with a voluminous skirt and a beaded bodice. She holds a bouquet of yellow and white flowers. A third woman, partially visible on the far left, also wears a white gown. The background features a building with grey and white stucco walls, a metal railing, and lush green bushes. The ground is paved with hexagonal stone tiles.
