mwana & mohamed in love

May 7, 2009 | Filed Under wedding posts 

mwana was a college friend of mine, and when she contacted me about taking her wedding pictures, she said she had been trying to find someone else to do it, so that i could just enjoy myself as a guest! but to be honest… i was thrilled to be her photographer! to see someone so in love through the lens of your camera is a joy for any wedding photographer – something we enjoy enough to make a living off of – but when that person is someone you know and care about, it means that much more. and seeing how happy mwana was – how happy mohamed made her – just made prayers flow from my heart. i’m SO thrilled for you, mwana, and i hope you enjoy the pictures as much as i enjoyed taking them!

the selection below is mostly from the portraits we took right before the ceremony; more to come later!
oh and one other note – i also did mwana’s henna (mehndi) the night before the wedding; i usually make my own mehndi paste, but this time i obtained homemade henna cones from the awesome and ever reliable sanober, a wonderful, talented lady in the clarksville area who runs a salon out of her home. check out the color of her henna on mwana’s hands!

    Thanks for the comments Ayesha. I really like the recent family session, as well as this one. The bride and groom both look very happy, and you captured that very well. Look forward to your future images.
