The Abdelhamids chose to celebrate their Nikkah ceremony in a rare way - quietly, intimately, and with intentions set on photography. They carved out plenty of time for portraits, desiring to capture their love in a way worthy of a magazine. These two share such a bond and value family above all else, which is why the only guests in attendance were immediate family members. One minute spent in their presence and it is evident how closely they hold each other in their hearts, viewing each other with as much reverence as their own parents. Having so much time in the day for portraits, we ventured across fields in the late afternoon sun and walked around the stunning architecture of the mosque in the evening light. For a couple whose journey together has been filled with international travel, intercultural experiences, and novel-like story lines, simplifying their wedding day to focus on artful storytelling was the most fitting start to a bustling life together.

Buzz through the wild spring meadows and drink in this love story that blooms on both digital and film.
