I’m always honored when my friends or past clients recommend my services to their other friends.  Regardless of how many times this has happened in the past, I still feel very lucky every time, and get that warm feeling you experience when sipping hot cocoa on a snowy day.  Back in 2011, my friends Shehab & Rahnuma tied the knot at NY city hall, and I was fortunate enough to be able to help capture their day.  It was a very special union of two amazing individuals, and it also involved a one of kind motorcyle.  Fast forward to 2016, and their friends Mia & Ivan were also tying the knot at the same exact place.  Our plan was to do a nice couples session and proceed to the wedding ceremony, but thanks to global warming, it was a blissful 10° day outside, with strong winds making it feel closer to – 20°.  This meant that we would have to essentially rush through everything, just to get indoors and not freeze out butts off.  I might be a nice guy in general, but when it comes to getting good photos, I’m all about enforcing a bit of tough love to get the shots, regardless of what the conditions are.  One thing I always ask my clients is to put their complete trust in me, and go with the flow, regardless of how things may seem.  I asked the lovely couple to bare with me in the freezing cold longer than any person should normally have to endure, and they trusted me, and went along with it.  I’m quite thankful for this, as I feel we were able to create some really special images in a fairly short time.  These two are not only super photogenic, but also have an amazing connection being together.

We froze at the brooklyn bridge, had a beautiful intimate ceremony at city hall, and partied afterwards.  You can check out all the moments below.  As always, if you like an image, feel free to click the ♥, or leave a comment below!

Hello everyone.  Summer is officially here, and with it comes new posts on Limon Photography.  Today I bring you the mehndi and wedding of Farah & Raza.  I’ve worked with Farah’s brother Anjum since High School, so I’ve known Farah and her family since then.  When I first started my photography career, I had a very select few friends who were not only supportive, but were dedicated fans.  These friends not only liked all my work, but constantly told me that when the time came, they would hire me for their wedding.  Farah was one of these friends, and told me that I would be photographing her wedding back in 2007.  Seven years later, the time had finally come, and I was more than thrilled to still get the call to come shoot her wedding.   When I finally got to meet Raza, I saw the natural charisma and kindness in him, and knew instantly that he was a perfect match for Farah.  I feel very honored to have been chosen to document such a special day for Farah & Raza after all these years, and I couldn’t be happier for the lovely couple.  Without further ado, I bring you some of the moments from their wedding.

Howdy folks. Summer weddings are in full effect. Now usually this is where I write something smart and quirky, but to be honest, I am a terrible writer, and I don’t want all my posts to sound repetitive. So from now on, I’ll write a lot less on the blog, and just let my pictures do the talking for me. With that being said, check out a mehndi and the wedding of Jamal & Hana at the Durham Marriott. This one was quite colorful and bright, very much like the bride and groom, and I had a great time covering it. Hope you guys enjoy it!
