Wooh! I have a double post today that is diverging from the normal wedding-related goodness that I like to share on here. Stay tuned later in the week for Anna & Kyle’s wedding on the blog!!

I recently shot author photos for Ashley and just a few days ago shot headshots for Sarah.

Things I love about Ashley: she’s deep, she feels everything, she’s vibrant, she’s a powerful writer, she’s got a heart for animals and the environment, she’s free-spirited, she’s a dreamer.

Things I love about Sarah: she has a love for color and paper that is unrivaled, her creativity is contagious, she’s sweet, she’s dedicated, she is dainty, her strength is undeniable, and above all else, she is a fantastically loyal and loving friend whom I am blessed to have in my life. : )

Boom! I love head shots and authors photos and senior portraits because I get to just focus on the one person and try to explain in pictures all the things I love about them. : ) Thanks for trusting me with that task, ladies!

Anjum and Mikey were married this July and their wedding took place over three days of celebration, traditions, and religious services. Out of respect to some religious traditions, I won’t be showing much of the services in this blog post. But! I will be showing lots of details and portraits from the various events during the three day period.

Anjum and Mikey are such a sweet couple, and they have so much love for each other and their families. It was really awesome to be a part of their day, to learn more about their culture, and to experience what it’s like to be a part of a huge, loving family.

Various shots of Anjum getting ready throughout the days:

Can you spot the groom’s name?!

Some of the lovely girls who were in her bridal party:

These two love birds actually got married in separate rooms of the mosque, so this was the first time they saw each other as husband and wife. Love it!

More portraits of Anjum and Mikey from other days during their wedding week:

LOVE these shoes:

Anjum & Mikey, you guys are so wonderful. I can’t wait to see you again soon, hope you’re having fun up there in Canada!
