Spring Wedding at Stone Manor Country Club – Middletown, Maryland

Persian-Wedding-spring-Frederick-Maryland-besa-photography_0016My beautiful friend and her handsome husband got married on a gorgeous spring day in a very pretty and fun outdoor wedding ceremony and reception.  Blending their cultures together, the wedding was a wonderful mix of Persian and Argentinian elements.  With such a fun-loving and close-knit group of family and friends to celebrate with, it was easy to see why no one wanted the night to end.  Thank you so much to Andrew Morrell for graciously allowing me to tag along and document some of the special moments.  I loved watching Andrew work.  He is such a creative talent (see more of his work here).  Shahrzad and Adrian, I wish you guys all the best!!

Winter Wedding – Vienna, Virginia

Meadowlark.Atrium.Winter.Wedding_0005In December, I had the opportunity to assist and second-shoot with an incredibly talented wedding photographer named Victoria Ruan (Victoria Ruan Photography).  A lovely, and rather warm, winter day allowed us ample time outdoors to photograph the gorgeous couple’s first-look photos and portraits. The portraits were then followed by a Persian wedding ceremony (with the prettiest sofreh aghd).  The photos in this post are some of my resulting images.  Thank you so much, Victoria, for letting me work with you!  It was such a joy!

Make sure to visit Victoria’s website, blog and Facebook page to see her beautiful work!
