Today I’m here to share a set of Bridal Portraits I did for Ruqayya and Qussai.  When I got to their place, Ruqayya was still getting ready. Her sister and sister-in-law were both helping her out. Qussai seemed a little nervous, but I could tell that he knew what this meant to Ruqayya.  I would see him glance over at Ruqayya after every few minutes - I was totally loving being there and being able to absorb all the emotions.   At first we took some pictures at their beautiful home and then headed over to our location. (Ruqayya and I had been talking for a few weeks about the perfect location - and when I had driven by the Rockeries a few days earlier, I knew this had to be the most perfect spot for them!)  Ruqayya and I got to drive there together since Qussai had to make a pit stop - this gave the two of us to just chat and get to know each other better.  I realized what a warm and genuine person she is!  Ruqayya and Qussai were total naturals in front of the camera and I totally loved photographing them!  They both are so warm and welcomed me into their lives so openly.  I want to thank you two for allowing me to become a part of something so special in your lives!

Ruqayya sent me this email a few weeks back after she got her pictures and wanted me to share this with everyone. Here goes!

When I first contacted Amna, I knew I was making the right decision.

I had already had a look at her website and blog (which I thought was beautifully designed and very professional) and I felt confident that she could give us the style of photography we were looking for (something that would be a perfect blend between structured and freestyle).

On the day of the photo shoot I was excited and nervous; I didn’t know what to expect, seeing as we had never had a professional photo shoot before. Soon after we started, we both felt really comfortable. Amna was great and both my husband and I could tell that the pictures were going to turn out beautifully! The session turned out better than I could have imagined and we couldn’t wait to see how the pictures turned out….we were not disappointed!! Every person we have shown the pictures to is already thinking about some occasion to have Amna as their photographer. I know 100% that this is not the last time I choose Amna as our photographer.

She is amazing at what she does and you can instantly tell that she is a natural. She has a great eye for things and was so flexible in the shots that we took. She would remind us that if we had certain ideas that we wanted to try, just to let her know. She is very sweet and so understanding and I have raved about her work to just about everyone.

Thank you Amna for everything you did; it was definitely a dream come true. I wish you the best, and know that I am definitely going to be a returning client

With lots of love,

Ruqayya E.
