Caroline & Mahdi // Stable Cafe Wedding

I cried exactly three times at this wedding. M’s family couldn’t make it due to a certain travel ban but watching him beaming the entire day none the less and hugging every one of C’s family as if his own truly moved and inspired me. The second time was when Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby came on, and C’s entire family profoundly sang every word (you’ll know exactly which moment this is when you’re passing through these photos!) and all their guests joined in with arms around each other. Her mother singing to her father cradling his face and dedicating every word. It was such an incredible moment to be a part of. The third time I wept behind my lens was watching this couple on the dance floor, surrounded by so many people yet completely immersed and present with each other. They embraced each other like they were the only ones in that room and you will see that so very clearly too. They were the epitome of blissed out getting to dance with one another and I was so blissed out getting to witness it, I just couldn’t help feeling it all along with them.

This was one of the most emotional and love, joy, warmth filled day that I have ever photographed and witnessed. These two were incredibly present with me and their people and that’s all I can ask for . They let me in, they treated me like family, their family treated me like family, I do not take this privilege lightly of entering one of the most intimate and personal days in your story, so thank you for letting me in.
