Iltifat & Sehr – Engagment + E-session

Once in a while, everything goes just perfectly… and you get exactly what you wanted. It’s the best feeling in the world. When I finished editing the pictures for Iltifat and Sehr, this was the way I felt at that moment.

I met Iltifat (who we call LT for short) way back in Undergrad, my sophomore year to be exact. He is quite the character to say the least. The dude is funny, very smart, super friendly, and always looking to have a good time. I loved chilling with LT because he always has a very relaxed and casual approach to everything in life. A building could literally be on fire, and LT would still be calm and relaxed. LT also had the biggest group of friends I have ever seen anyone have… not even kidding, like celebrity style entourage. His cool and friendly attitude not only made him an awesome person to be around, but a person that I respect as well. When I found out he was engaged and that he finally found the girl of his dreams, I was very happy and excited for him. When I found out his fiance, Sehr, wanted me to cover the engagement ceremony… in Texas… I was even more excited. 🙂 When I finally met Sehr for the first time, I had no doubt that LT had indeed found the right girl, and they were perfect for each other.

For this session, I went all the way to Dallas Texas. There was a very nice engagement ceremony, with all of the closest friends and family gathered around. It had a very warm and family vibe to it. I had the opportunity to get some great shots at Sehr’s house, not to mention eat some amazing food that her mom made. We also had an E-session the next day at various locations in Dallas. One of the locations was in a truly amazing resort that had a giant glass roof. Though you were inside of a building, it felt like you were entering an outdoor paradise because of the transparent celing. The place was absolutely beautiful and the couple made the location that much better. I also enjoyed this trip more than some of the others because I actually got to relax, hang out with close group of friends, and do fun filled stuff like eating at Bobby Flay’s restaurant, and going bowling in ultra modern bowling ally. I was a bit worried that maybe I was having too much fun. However, in the end… everything worked out just beautifully.

Below are some of the shots from the E-session, as well as a slideshow of the Engagement Ceremony. As always, comments are always appreciated.
