I still haven’t made it to the gym after Thanksgiving because we have been working on so many beautiful images! I just had to post these amazing photos because who wouldn’t want to check out the awesome outfit and details that Huma had for her reception (Valima) at the San Ramon Marriott? They are amazing!
Our lovely couple had many events spanning multiple continents. They were officially married in Dubai where most of the groom’s family lives but then they also had their Mehndi night and Valima in the San Francisco Bay Area which we covered. The reception was my favorite because our couple looked extraordinary and we had time to capture a lot of portraits that we did not have time for at Chandni in Fremont for the Mehndi.
Huma was in love with her Jimmy Choo heels so we got lots of great images of those, as well as, all her other details. While I photographed the bride and groom, Natalie photographed the parents greeting guests as they arrived. We did a quick family portrait session before the bride and groom had their grand entrance.
The night included speeches, a few small ceremonies, a cake cutting, and then finally dancing. One of my all time favorite photos is right at the end where I used the fire pit light to take a nice portrait of Huma. My good friend and makeup artist Myrium Laenka did an excellent job and she was even a guest at the wedding!
Scroll down and enjoy some of our favorites from this gorgeous Pakistani Muslim wedding.
