Dani and Jon’s couple session at South Valley Park, Colorado, was magical. Dani moved from New Jersey to be with Jon, and they’ve been loving their new life together.

We explored South Valley Park, enjoying the hills and stunning scenery. Dani made Jon laugh with inside jokes, creating perfect photo opportunities. My twin brother captured behind-the-scenes videos, showing our fun moments.

We ended with a serene sunset picnic, complete with sunflowers, wine, and a charcuterie spread. The quiet moments in nature made their session unforgettable. Colorado’s golden sunsets are truly special.

Humira and Lionel’s Nikkah Islamic wedding was a deeply special day. They exchanged vows at a beautiful mosque adorned with Holy Qur’an writings.

The Nikkah ceremony, filled with religious significance, included the signing of the marriage contract and heartfelt “I do’s.” The Imam spoke about the sacred bond of marriage, highlighting “موده” or “mowada,” the unique bond between husband and wife.

Surrounded by loving family and friends, the ceremony was a memorable celebration of their union!

I captured Mo and Sara’s Islamic Marriage Ceremony, their Katb Ketab. Their love story is pure and fairytale-like. Despite heavy rain, they remained focused and at peace, surrounded by close friends and family.

They later celebrated with another wedding in Egypt, including Mo’s family. May Allah bless their marriage.

After the ceremony at Mercer County Park, we took wedding portraits in the woods with a beautiful flower arbor.

The rain and romantic setting highlighted their radiant love!

Belle and Jeremy’s cowboy love story led them to elope at Kingston Ranch in California. This non-traditional wedding in a natural setting was perfect for their cowboy hearts. They exchanged vows during golden hour, surrounded by horses and the stunning desert landscape.

Their intimate wedding ceremony, witnessed by their closest loved ones, was peaceful and focused on their love. The sunset over the pink mountains created a breathtaking backdrop for their portraits. This destination elopement captured the essence of their dream day, exemplifying the beauty of elopements in nature.

Their special day focused on each other, with only their closest family present. They reserved the chapel in Allaire State Park and celebrated with a dinner after the ceremony. Their elopement was truly unique and authentic to them.

Ronnie orchestrated a perfect surprise proposal for Cassie at Crater Lake, their favorite hiking spot. As Cassie walked to their favorite view, Ronnie got down on one knee behind her. I, hidden in the trees, captured her joy and surprise when she turned around. Cassie’s delight grew as she saw me, her photographer, and then her mom, cousin, and best friend emerged from hiding. It was an unforgettable, joy-filled moment.

We spent the weekend celebrating their engagement amidst Oregon’s autumn beauty. Cheers to Cassie and Ronnie!
