Last weekend we were thrilled to shoot an amazingly beautiful Afghan wedding at the Marriott Hotel in Fremont. We had such a great time getting to know and working with Maira and Aref. We knew from the beginning that they were really into photography and they also put so much thought into the details of their wedding. The Afghan wedding photos we captured on this day included traditional dances, a special ceremony with henna, amazing tabla drumming, and much more.

Natasha and I love working with clients who are into really creative and artistic photographs and we love being inspired by them. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves:
