Blue ring! Stunning.

Jessica got ready with all her other sisters and bridesmaids at her house. She’s the third sister to get married in their fun Lebanese family. Her dress was gorgeous!

Ah! We loved the tiara veil!

Note from Mehdi …

And the onlookers …

Mehdi also surprised her with the actual earrings that matched her necklace. She and the sisters were so surprised!!

We love churches that give us free range and never abuse that freedom! We were allowed all around the front of the orthodox church and loved these moments!

Rose wreaths, a Lebanese Orthodox tradition.

We usually don’t post this many ceremony photos, but we loved the feel of this church!

Before we went up to the Skyline Bar at the Hilton Americas we took a walk through the Discovery Green gardens.

Mehdi & Jessica’s mothers had worked for hours making a lot of the Persian Ceremony details. It looked beautiful!

And EVERY ceremony should have this transition! One moment tradition, next moment partay.

It’s the Persian cake cutting tradition for the ladies to hold the knife ransom and let Mehdi bribe it from them. He was flashing the dollar bills as the ladies danced around him!

Success!

Garter tease!

The Skyline Bar as arguably the BEST view of the city. We walked past the lap-pool swimmers and out on the roof top deck.


This is a favorite!

And so is this!

Maybe it’s something in the water, but our couples have had the most incredible and authentic chemistry this year! For the next few weeks we are going to post couples who had both an engagement and wedding shoot with us because showing just one doesn’t do them justice.

To kick off the double couple posting marathon, let us introduce our friends Mehdi and Jessica. For these two lovers, we’ll let the images speak for themselves.

Anita and Roshan probably passed each other dozens of times before meeting in the library one day while they were both in pharmacy school at TSU. We got a bit of their story while shooting their e-sesh, but we are anxiously waiting to hear how the rest of it played out. Thankfully we will be shown a FULL (and maybe exaggerated) version of it this weekend at their wedding. Both of their families are from Kerala, a state in southern India, and while it’s still a surprise, the tradition is for the friends to re-enact their story in a skit at the wedding reception. Our fingers are crossed.

In the meantime, we shot their engagement this week, and have been busy getting their images to them before the weekend! Hope you enjoy. (And isn’t she beautiful!)

We wish. We are always talking of ways to expand, and a couple weeks ago we got to take a field trip to Florence and Rome, Italy for two shoots. Usually we would put up a tease of couples being lovey-dovey European style, but how often do we get to post some fun travel snaps? Almost never! So here are two from our adventure. And session pics are coming soon!

We got to shoot Brett & Christy’s wedding a couple years ago and were thrilled when they invited us to come hang out with their first little one, Kennedy Spryte Williams. Congratulations!
