I am sooo excited to share the nikah (a Pakistani wedding ceremony) of Sahar and Samad with you. I anxiously awaited this event for MONTHS!
I absolutely love the Naem family-so hospitable and friendly. Thank you for allowing me into your home to capture Sahar’s getting ready process.
The process actually started 4 days before the wedding when Sahar went to have her Mehndi (or Henna) done.

Then, the big day..

I just love the extra dimension that the henna adds to all the pictures
Sahar’s sister, Saman, touches up her make-up
LOVE!!!
Many more of these shots, but Sahar removed her head scarf to finish getting ready and I agreed not to share those.
Elegant-right?
Mom helps pin the scarf

Sana and Saman finish the job.
Timeless
GAH! So beautiful!!!

The infamous ring shot
Before we left, Sahar’s mother copied down a prayer to ward of nazar (or the evil eye).
Come back soon for the actual nikah photos!
