]]> Every girl dreams of having an elegant wedding once in her life, and today’s groom Arash just made his bride, Mahta’s dream come true with their Persian Wedding. The bride looks like a real princess with her white gown and matching crown. And who wouldn’t love their venue! The Willard Intercontinental Hotel looks amazing as the couple prances around the hall, putting the spotlight upon themselves. I also have to mention the gorgeous reception where the details totally swept me off my feet. Thanks, Arvin Photography for sending these over, and proving that happily ever afters really do exist.

Take this Advice

We believe that the photography is the most important part of a wedding. So our advice is that you hire the right photographer that cares about your wedding and reflects the elegance of your dream day. Also the personality of the photographer is very important because photographer is the only vendor that is with you from the beginning to the end of your wedding. So you need to be comfortable and relaxed around your photographer(s). Choose vendors not only based on their work but also their personality, because on your wedding day you will need their flexibility and willingness to help with unplanned circumstances. ~Arvin Eskandarnia/Photographer

]]> Good day, lovelies! I hope you are all smiles today – just like everyone that was invited to Narissa and Hussein’s traditional Muslim wedding! These photos taken by Shandro Photo was absolutely captivating! The artistic details were so beautiful that having a non-traditional reception was totally the fun and exciting twist that the couple genuinely wanted. The scenic reception was exemplary for their poetic photos! I’m telling you, you’ve just got to see this one! So go on, what’re you waiting for?

We’re All About the Details!

Learning about all of the different cultures and religions has been one of the best parts of being a photographer.  Muslim, Sikh, Hindu…there are similarities and differences, but the core celebrations are the same.  Pre-wedding events such as henna/mehndi and cleansing ceremonies, the main wedding ceremony, and a fun-filled reception. Narissa and Hussein included a modern artistic vibe by holding their reception as a cocktail party at the Citadel Theatre.

When couples are looking for a wedding photographer, they are often asked about their style of choice. After 12 years in the industry, Haley Shandro still doesn’t have a concise answer, because no two weddings are the same. What she CAN say is that her clients hire her because she embraces and enjoys bright, vibrant colors, and she loves true, genuine happiness and candid emotions. Just count all the smiles in the photos and you’ll see what I mean!

Take this Advice

Give up control- As much as we didn’t want to our wedding party made us give all the contact information of our wedding vendors to them a couple of days before the wedding and told us to not worry about any of the wedding plans or details. It was hard to give up control but we were so grateful as it took the stress off and allowed us to fully present for each moment of our wedding. Enjoy the spotlight- We both don’t like to be in the spotlight but this was one time that we basked in the glory. Having all your friends and family come together to celebrate both of you won’t happen again so enjoy it! ~Haley Shandro/Photographer

]]> Today, we give the spotlight on a wedding of two cultures — Arabia and Canada in one masterpiece. Obviously, this event came out big because of the multicultural traditions Jessica and Faz has grown up with. And eventually, both culture blended just right with each other. The femme facade of pink on glitz was a perfect pomp. Go on, read, and grasp the fact that different cultures is not matter when there is love. *winks*

Extra Special Wedding Details

Large party: Multicultural Muslim – Canadian wedding. Large bridal party of 9 bridesmaids and 5 Groomsmen.

Reception mania: We were legally and religiously married prior to the wedding in order to accommodate both cultures. This party was a reception to honor the cultures and for everyone to have fun!

Enchanting and elegant flowers: Decor for the wedding was mainly flowers. There were zero artificial flowers used and that’s what made it more special.

Arabian beats: Almost the entire night was spent dancing to a wide variety of genres including but not limited to Arabic dabke with the Arabic drum, hip hop, top 40 and line dances.

Tips from the Couple

♥ Splurge on what is most important to you (Ours was flowers) and save where you can! The cost of a wedding can easily go beyond your budget.

♥ There will always be things that don’t go your way but make sure to take the time to enjoy the day and remember all the little moments, it’s over so quickly.
