I have missed you guys all so much! I have been MIA and I sincerely apologise. Life had completely taken over and I feel like I can now breathe a little! Hope everyone is well?!
This blogpost will be dedicated to one of the main girls in my life, Numera, who recently got married and we were all blessed and fortunate enough to be included in the next step of her life. I met Numera at the first bloggers meet up. Myself, Safiyah, Numera and Asmaa clicked, and we haven`t looked back since. Numera is probably the calm one out of us lot, besides Asmaa. She has such a beautiful soul and masha`Allah so patient. So when she asked if I would be happy to take photos for her, how could I refuse?
I was also kindly granted permission to share these photos on my blog, so, please take a moment and have a look through Numera's Walima photos and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking these:
My Rani, Safiyah did the make up for the wedding and walima, and if you`re interested in having a closer look, please have a look at here.
Hope everyone is well. I recently went to a Walima and I finally had a chance to grab some shots of my outfit before running to the car, so I thought I`d share with you:
I like to keep my sari's really simple, so its comfortable to run around in at weddings, etc. I`m not a fan of excessively embroidered borders, etc. I know I will be a nightmare when I`m choosing my wedding outfits - hah.
What do you think of my outfit? Too simple for an Asian wedding?
In May, I had the wonderful opportunity to join a wedding and event video company, Masam Productions (MP) in their journey of capturing moments and memories of a beautiful couple.
The approach MP have to wedding and events is somewhat different to other similar companies, which I was pleasantly surprised about. Prior to coming across MP, I had the usual misconception of Asian wedding videos and photographs, being, very 'back home' style - you all know what I`m talking about. Brides heads zooming out of the rose bud, waterfalls appearing randomly, and when you open the palm of your hands, the couple appear?! LOL, those. So, I was expecting this with MP, but, not at all!!
MP have a very unique approach to their work, they`re dedicated, creative, different, and these mixed together create AMAZING results.
So, when I was given the opportunity to join them, I was extremely excited!!
I was given full control of a Canon 550D camera and, lets just say I went wild. I went completely snap happy in the attempt of capturing the memories at the mendhi and wedding.
Make sure to like/follow/subscribe them on Facebook/Blogger/YouTube! They`ve only started blogging, but you will definitely catch awesome uploads in the near future, insha`Allah.
Also, before I get onto the photographs, their videography is amazing! Check out their wedding trailer for the wedding:
So, without further ado, snap happy MangoWhirl, is sharing a FAIR number of photographs from both events. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did, taking them:
Mendhi
You will see more of this gorgeous munchkin, masha`Allah.
Wedding
Just look at the cheeky lil` munchkin at the front?! Soooo cute, masha`Allah.
Doesn`t the bride just look EXQUISITE?! Masha`Allah.
They had a Registry on the same day as the wedding. I love that idea. Get everything done on one day!
At the Bidaai. So emotional. Even I shed a tear, and I didn`t even know the Bride!
And, that is it! What do you think?! Should I carry on tagging along with MasamProductions?
Make sure you check them out, and if you have any weddings happening in South of England, then DO please keep them in your mind and contact them. They have great rates, and you never know, I might get to come along and capture your memories! :)
