This wedding is an oldie, but I thought I share it with you nevertheless. Sal is a friend of Sajid (who’s wedding will also be posted in the very near future), and contacted me regarding his wedding in NY. He was going to wed his long time sweetheart Shati in the traditional Bangladeshi style, and I was happy to help them get some photographs to document the day. After the wedding, we decided to do a couples session. This was around the fall season, so we thought it would be nice to do the couples session outdoors at central park. However, the weather was absolutely terrible, so we quickly moved into the MET and improvised a few shots there. Both Sal and Shati are a great couple, and I had a lot of fun working with them. Onward to the pictures:

Yes, that’s a pair of sharp scissors next to his face!
I love this shot because everyone knows I’m taking this picture, yet not a single person is looking towards me
Mansoor and Ayesha actually got married last year. So why am I posting the images on my blog now? If you haven’t noticed yet, I am absolutely terrible at blogging. Honestly, that’s the only reason. I am getting better though, and slowly, you will see many more previous weddings making an appearance on the blog. To find out a bit more about the couple, look at the next post with their Couples Session which I did recently. Anyway, without further ado, I bring you all 3 events and their gloriousness. What? That’s not a real word? It’s ok, it’s my blog… so I’m allowed to use words that sound awesome like radicalous and superdope-tastic 😀 Enjoy.
Hello everyone, hope your summer is going well. Today, I want to do something a bit different than what I usually do with my blog posts. Now if you wanted to insert a joke, this is where you would say “actually post something on the blog?”… and to be fair, I would deserve that statement. I know I haven’t been posting a lot of things here lately, but I promise there will be lots of really cool and exciting things coming very soon. Anyway, back to what I was trying to say. For this particular post, I’m going to submit a ton of images for you to look at. Why? Just because I can 🙂 I’m going to post 3 different ceremonies from a recent wedding, and I’m going to post them all at once in this post! So if you have a slow internet connection, I’m warning you in advance, there are over 100 images in this post.
Though I have never really met Sheema previous to these events, her Father has been good friends with my family over the years. Also, Sheema was a fan of my work… and that’s all I really needed to know 😀 In person, she is very kind, sweet, and quite pretty as well. Now I must admit, like most other brides I cover, Sheema was a bit shy at first for the photos. However, after a bit of time explaining what we were doing, and some terrible jokes from me, she became quite natural. She was not only a beautiful bride, but very fun to work with. Fahad and his family came down for the wedding all the way from Chicago. I didn’t really get to meet Fahad as well as I would have liked to, but he seems like a genuinely nice guy, and quite right for Sheema. Aside from being a nice guy, Fahad also looks a lot like the Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar… but maybe it’s just me. All in all, I had a lot of fun at their mehndi, nikkah, and the wedding program. On top of meeting the wonderful couple and their families, I was also informed at this wedding that I have a few female stalkers of my website. Normally stalkers are a bad thing, but in this case, it’s good in every way. So special shout-out to my stalker friends. Thank you again ladies for your continuing support, and I hope you enjoy this set (esp. since some of you are in a few of the pics).
Anyway, without further ado… I present the massive post of images:
Mehndi
Possibly one of the cutest pictures I’ve ever taken
