sahar and samad | part 1

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.
