The Right One

All too often people concentrate on finding the right spouse, little realizing that half of any marriage is being the right spouse.”
-Yasir Qadhi

Marriage is a complicated thing. You have your ups and downs, it’s never this Pinterest-Facebook-post-worthy life event that leaves you feeling perfect every day. But if every day you can find something perfect in your marriage, you have something great. I have been married for about 4 years now, and I can tell you unequivocally I still know very little about being married. We learn every day about each other. In the beginning it’s so incredibly impassioned and strong; who cares what you’re learning about each other? You are so wrapped up in the love and support and awesomeness of each other. Yes, some of it is attributed to hormones and adrenaline flying. If you’re lucky enough to find the right spouse, it’s a whole other journey being the right spouse after you get married.

Saba & Fawad had a wedding unlike anything I’ve ever seen as a photographer. Of course, their Islamic wedding was unique in itself. The food (OMG the FOOD!), the colors, the jewelry and breathtaking outfits – it was truly something to behold. The overall vibe of love and support of them as a couple from their family and friends was incredibly. Their love and support for one another left everyone feeling that they had, indeed, found the right spouse. It was all done in a beautiful beach rental home right on Ormond Beach. I was lucky enough to have two amazing photography assistants – Marisa & Elizabeth – could not have done this one without you ladies!!

We had two amazing days to shoot some very special photos for the couple. Here are some of my favorite shots from the first night of events:
