Nadia & Zain - Mehndi and Wedding

When a client plans their wedding with the kind of photos they want in mind, and those kind of photos happen to be the kind I love to shoot... that's sort of a dream come true for me. and that was Nadia's lovely two-day wedding, both days set at locations and times to give us the ingredients for gorgeous images. We were blessed with stunning weather both days - such blue skies and golden light! - but it was Nadia's smart planning to choose such stunning locations as well: Rockfield Manor in Bel Air, Maryland, for the mehndi, and Deerfield Golf Club in Newark, Delaware, for the wedding and reception. I don't suppose being drop-dead gorgeous and marrying such a tall, debonair Brit was actually part of her plan for pretty pictures, but of course, they were the best part :D Thank you so much, Nadia and Zain, for working with me and being patient with me while I made you guys walk around endlessly and stare into bright sunlight and all that. You are such a lovely couple and I pray that you are always blessed and happy together! It was also my pleasure to work again with the videographers at Wise Films, who get as giddy about good light as I do :), as well as the lovely and super-talented makeup artist Caitlyn Meyer. Here are a few highlights from the mehndi and the wedding!
