From the Wedding Cards to the decor (Shaheen of Exquisite Events) to Saadia’s stunning dress (by Tabassum Mughal) to the entertainment (MUNNI BEGUM)….perfection!!

As I try to give you guys a glimpse into my 2011, I can’t help but fall in love (all over again) with all my wonderful couples and appreciate all that they’ve given me. The love and support I’ve received from everyone just warms my heart - Thank you to each one of you who has played some sort of a positive role in my life over the last few years <3

I shared Saadia and Zeeshan’s Portraits a while back but their OH SO FABULOUSLY FABULOUS events have yet to be shared. Their Moroccan themed mehendi was like no other mehendi I’ve photographed. So much energy, so much love and sooooooooooooooooooo much fun! Topped with the gorgeous decor provided by Shaheen of Exquisite events and the exotic lebanese spread that Zanobia provided for dinner.

Enjoy guys - I’m getting on top of my blogging…lots to share in the next few weeks!

A special thanks to Terra Lemon of Sourpuss Smiles Photography for helping me out for the day. You were awesome!!!

Here’s me in action last year (thanks Anne of AMB Photo)

I’ve know Oshima and Huns for quite a few years now, so when Oshima informed me of their engagement I couldn’t have been happier! and then Oshima asked me to be their photographer…double happiness!! The next few days I’m going to share moments from their engagement shoots to their oh-so-elaborately-fancy Canada Day Weekend Wedding!

The first part of their engagement shoot was all about spring, blossoms and of course tulips! Enjoy!!

For the second part of Oshima and Huns’s engagement shoot, we wanted a fair so we had to wait for the perfect fair and  the perfect night (clear skies and all). and we waited and the results are below…..nothing but pure magic!!
