This backyard fusion Muslim wedding was beautiful! The couple decided to use their uncle’s house in the hills of Milpitas to host their intimate Nikkah ceremony and booked us to document it as their wedding photographers!
Within just a few hours we did all their getting ready shots, first look, ceremony, family photos, cake cutting, more portraits of the couple, and shots with them and their friends.
The bride is American and the groom is half Pakistani/half white so they also did a small non-denominational ceremony where they exchanged rings and vows. The Nikkah portion was very fast, because as you know, a Nikkah is not really a ceremony, it is an agreement between the man and woman and then they sign and it’s done.
The best part about our job is shooting in new places. Since this is not a venue and it was the first time we had been there, it was fun to “see shots” that are new and entirely unique to us. Just finding reflections in mirrors, creating compositions based upon the background elements, etc, is what we live for!
