Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 8:00AM in Carrie, engagement You know, the guys always really end up enjoying their engagement sessions sometimes even more than the girls:-) We had such a beautiful evening on Davis Island for Anny and Mike's e-session. My favorite one is of them sitting on the edge of the water, shoes off just enjoying the beautiful setting. Loved working with you both can't wait for 4.28.11!!
Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 12:17PM in Sylense, engagement The exact location of some of these is top secret but I will tell you it's where Ashley and Julian got engaged and there is a beautiful view and it's a little tricky to get to:-) Ashley and Julian's little babies Sophie, Joey, and Sadie had a blast running around chasing squirrels with us as well:-)
Friday, April 8, 2011 at 12:37PM in Carrie, engagement Nadia and Adil are super sweet and have this calming sense about them! They've been traveling back and forth from the Jersey Shore planning their 3 day wedding celebration this June so it was nice to get to spend a little time getting to know them:-)
The mehndi (henna) ceremony takes place on the first night of the three day wedding celebration. This festive event is filled with vibrant colors, loud music, dancing, and fun. The mehndi starts the wedding events on a happy note.
The nikkah refers to the Islamic marriage ceremony. In this ceremony, the bride and groom repeat their acceptance for the marriage three times in the presence of two witnesses.
The shaadi takes place on the second night. The shaadi is thrown by the bride's family and is a welcoming party to the groom's family and guests. The shaadi is followed by a rukhsati, in which the bride leaves her family to embark on her new life with her husband.
I love all the attire, ceremonies, traditions, and colors of Pakistani weddings so I can't wait to capture their amazing event!
