dan & rija [married!] | plano, tx wedding photographer

February 28, 2014 • 1 Comment

At the end of December, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel down to Plano, TX to photograph the fabulous 4-day Pakistani wedding celebration of Dan and Rija. They were clients of my college friend Brittany who runs Brittany Feagans Photography and wanted a second photographer to capture all the activities during these exciting four days, which is where I came in. Being a second photographer from time-to-time helps me to reconnect with a bit more of the creative side of wedding photography, which I absolutely love! There was no shortage of creative opportunities at this wedding - I could not get enough of the elaborate henna tattoos (Brittany and I were excited to get henna too), all the sparkles of the clothing, the colors of the various stage set-ups, and the completely stunning bride and groom! One of my favorite parts of experiencing and capturing more traditional cultural events is the juxtaposition of contemporary items, such as the little girl's cowboy boots with her sari, football jerseys with the flower petal covered walkway, iPhones with henna tattoos at the mosque, and of course the game on tv while the groom got dressed in traditional clothing. The food served every evening was delicious and the skits hilarious. It was such an exciting and personal celebration to congratulate Dan and Rija on their start of married life together. By the time the four days were over, I felt almost apart of the Syed Six, now Syed Seven! Please take a moment to check out the longest blog post I've ever put together - and would love a comment at the bottom of your favorite image or any questions you may have. Enjoy the Syed wedding photos!
