This majestic ceremony was held at the luxurious Movenpick Hotel in Dubai. A traditional wedding with the glamour and sophistication the just took my breath away. Decorations of streaming vines of purple and pink flowers gave the grand elegance of the hotel the softness and Romance to make it as though you are in a dream castle.
Bab Al Shams resort is one of the most spectacular venues to hold your Traditional wedding. With its authentic Arabian architecture and design it absorbs you into ancient history. Surrounded by a beautiful desert that you can watch the sun disappear into while sitting by a pond. An oasis for Lovers.
We were excited to be invited to do a photography session for a beautiful artist who has been a belly dancer for quite some time. The art of Belly dancing has grown in popularity all around the world. It is one of the oldest forms of dancing originating in the Middle East thousands of years ago. A gorgeous woman, in all her femininity and grace, dressed in beautiful clothing sensually dancing and captivating her observers by her movements.
Here we will continue the story of our prince charming with his rescued gentle princess in their oasis. We capture their following love story, as they relax in front of burning fire, whisper sweet nothings to each other in the shade, make plans for their exciting new future together or take romantic walks in the desert at sunset for nothing more then the need to be close to their dearest one in the world.
This wonderful couple has such an amazing combination of ideal contrast, won't you agree? They are so different yet fit together so perfectly. During this photo shoot we wanted to let them enjoy their day together, natural and care free, while we capture them in shots from behind the scenes. An unsuspecting model always makes for a natural shot. Asking a model to strike a pose in a set setting and capturing an action or facial expression unaware are two very different kind of photographs.
A little miracle shows up in our life .You want to savor every special First in their life. The first smile, first word and the first steps. What about his first birthday or Christmas. It‘s a one in a lifetime and there isn’t a baby photo album in the World without those precious Firsts that fill the first years of life of your baby.
I have known this family for quite some time. I had the great pleasure of first getting acquainted with them during a wedding photography shoot for Kate, the mother of the groom. Having been their family photographer on more than one occasion since then, when the time came for her son to tie the knot, they invited me back for another spectacular event. To tell you the truth, I felt like a welcomed guest at a friends’ wedding, and not just a photographer.
