Our inspiration for picking up the camera has and always will be our couples. Katrina and I have been fortunate enough to not only have these people accept us to document the most important day of their lives, but also to accept us to be their friends and family. Your stories are our life.

Brandon started his photography career in college when he joined the school newspaper. A passion for capturing real moments and telling the story led him to become the photography editor and win several awards for his coverage within only a year. Shortly afterwards he began shooting weddings with Katrina using this same style. The rest is history.

Ambereen + Sameem | Detroit

After I shot Ambereen and Sameem’s engagement in Chicago I knew their wedding in Detroit was going to be a lot more fun than actual work. Well, don’t get me wrong shooting three days in a row is never an easy task but Katrina and I honestly enjoyed every minute of it. This blog post includes the Nikah and the Mendhi. The Nikah is the more serious ceremony where the marriage contract is signed and is usually held at the bride’s house which was decorated beautifully.

The Mendhi (henna ceremony) was more of a celebration filled with great food along with amazing and sometimes hilarious dance performances. Ambereen used to be part of a dance team so the choreography was something really out of this world. Afterwards a dance party ensued that topped everything I had ever seen before. These guys really knew how to get down!

Stay tuned for the second blog post which will include some portraits and a massive slideshow. For now here’s a little preview of what’s to come.
