Summer is almost over!  With all the weddings, meetings, traveling, this summer has been the busiest ever.  Today, I wanted to take a break and bring you the wedding of Munawar & Uzmaa.  I was referred to Uzmaa by Ayesha and Mansoor, who’s wedding I just happen to have shot a few years back.  I was excited about this wedding because A) I would see a lot of familiar faces, and B) it was going to be in Dearborn MI.  Not sure if any of you have been to Dearborn before, but it’s a pretty awesome place.  I call it, “Arab central in the heart of the US” because there are tons of middle eastern people, stores, cafes, and restaurants there.   On top of that, this wedding was on the 4th of July weekend.  Ford headquarters is located right around the corner of where the wedding took place, so I got to see a lot of cool, classic Ford cars on the day of the wedding.  Uzmaa and Munawar were simply awesome.  These two were one of the nicest clients I had the pleasure of working with, and they were up for almost anything I asked them to do, even if it meant standing in the dark while flaming sticks were being waved around them (see last image 🙂 ).  I had a blast at the wedding, had a great time in Dearborn, and enjoyed seeing a lot of friendly faces.  Check out the pics below:

It took us 20 minutes to do this shot because we couldn’t find anyone with a lighter or match. I’m glad we tracked one down though 🙂

Congratulations again Uzmaa & Munawar!

Special thanks to the Kazi’s for referring the wedding and helping me feed the kids… well…  future kids that is.
