When we received the inquiry from Shaila and Jamil, we were excited in so many levels:
1. An Ismaili wedding - this will be our second Ismaili wedding and we're always glad to take on weddings from various cultural backgrounds.
2. Destination wedding - aside from the official ceremony at the Ismaili Jamatkhana in Burnaby, there will be another ceremony and celebration in the Mayan Riviera in Mexico.
3. Double wedding - Shaila did not contact us to just photograph her wedding but to photograph her sister's wedding as well (more on this next time...)!
Needless to say, this would be a great photographic opportunity for us and we are happy to be doing it!
Fast forward to end of April and with less than favourable news regarding travel conditions to Mexico and the wedding celebration set to happen in the Mayan Riviera has be rerouted to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! After the dust has settled regarding the rerouting and rescheduling of events, we were finally able to set aside some time to photograph Shaila and Jamil for their engagement session. It was a blast! These two are such sweethearts and they were willing to bring it!
Shaila and Jamil, we can't wait to have fun with you and your family on the next 12 days! See you guys again soon!
