I love traveling, meeting people, having fun, and of course taking pictures. I am moved by the raw power of emotions that can be captured through a lens and the equal amount of emotion that it is able to stir in others.
You are fun, beautiful, and in love. Picking the right photographer that you connect with to document your wedding day is crucial. The happiest day of your life will be told in pictures that you will want to remember and show to your grandchildren.
If you believe you and Brandon are a match, please send him an e-mail in the contact section for further details on your journey together.
The final day of their wedding is known as the Rukhsati held at the iconic Roostertail right next to the river. The ceremony involves the family members and close guests walking out with Ambereen. This signifies her offically leaving her parents and moving on to the next step of life with Sameem.
Epic Motion did a fantastic job as videographers and you can check out their trailer for the wedding here. I honestly can’t wait to see the rest of it.
I told this to Ambereen and Sameem in my last e-mail but we never thought that we would be sad leaving Michigan. Their families were so accommodating and and we really felt at home.

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.
We had a quick engagement session with Christina and Andy’s at the Viceroy hotel before their rehearsal dinner at Shutter’s. We had a great time and even had one of the best meals in our lives. It definitely helped when Christina’s mom kept on telling us to grab more Lobster. We couldn’t help but oblige! My stomach never felt so great after a shoot.
Gianna also did a wonderful job coordinating the event.

Elizabeth Lloyd flew me down to her hometown in Puerto Vallarta to second shoot this beautiful cliffside wedding in Sayulita with her. After the wedding we went to some local spots to listen to live music and really absorb the small surfer city. On top of that, Carol and Dan’s intimate wedding really made the trip worth it. I had a great time and I can’t wait to go back.
