It was such a beautiful moment working with the KAI team @kaicollective . Being part of the production for “#KAI Never Getting Married” was truly an amazing opportunity and experience for me.
I got a call around 10:19pm on the 9th of April to step in and represent a stylist who had cancelled on the team. Thankfully, I had previously worked on @timonilonge and her sister @fisayolonge hair a few days before the shoot, which gave her enough trust and confidence in me to recommend me for the job.
Despite the short notice, I showed up fully prepared and ready to deliver, and it turned out to be such a smooth and beautiful experience. Working with such an amazing and professional team reminded me why I love what I do so much.
I also got to meet the perfect cultured groom, @folabi . He is such a genuinely nice person, calm and respectful. I honestly wish everyone was as nice as he is.
I’m grateful for every opportunity that allows my craft to speak for me. Cheers to more beautiful experiences, bigger rooms, and greater opportunities ahead for Styledbyraphy_lee ✨. Creative director @timonilonge Edited by @lovejohhn
