This was one of those cosmic, stars-aligning kind of things. We were fully booked for 2011, when Lana and Arafat inquired with us to shoot their quickly impending wedding. They were keeping the ceremony low-key and private, so they were only looking for coverage of their reception and some portraits of just the two of them. It was very last minute, but luckily everything just worked out, and I was so happy to be able to photograph their special day.
It was everything a wedding should be in my opinion~ simple, intimate, romantic and solely about the love between Lana & Arafat. Oh, and I can’t even begin to describe how unbelievably gorgeous they both looked! So gorgeous, in fact, that they caught the attention of local luxury wedding magazine Blush who featured them in their most recent issue.

Now, here’s some of my favorite shots from their beautiful wedding day~
They make it look so easy don’t they? Oh, be still my heart.
You know what’s awesome about doing your portraits around sunset rather than in the middle of the afternoon like is usually the case? The amaaaaazing light!! Then, throw in these two ridiculously beautiful lovebirds and I was literally gasping at the sheer gorgeousness of it all.
Their reception was held at the always elegant Hotel MacDonald in the Wedgewood Room (one of my all-time favorites!)
Lana & Arafat~ Thank you both for being truly amazing, warm, wonderful people. I’m so glad I was able to be a part of your day and I wish you both SO much happiness. Your love inspired me so much throughout the day.
Special thanks to the always amazing Sunita Sumaru for her awesome hair & makeup skills. I don’t think it’d be possible for Lana to look any more incredible.
XOXO
