ever been to a wedding where the love between the bride and groom shines like a light to warm everyone around them? where the sight of their smiles at each other sparks an involuntary prayer from your heart for their happiness?i could feel the peace radiating out from jamil and mahdiyah when they were together - the peace of soul-longing finally requited - and along with jamil's super-sweet daughter, the three of them just fit together perfectly as a family, mashallah (by the will of God). i have much more to say about this beautiful, heartwarming wedding but i wanted to go ahead and post a handful of my absolute favorite portraits from the earlier part of the day, and in a subsequent post i'll include a slideshow or selection of more storytelling images from the rest of the wedding.
