Zainab's Rukhsati Bridal Portraits
Zainab met her husband, Humza, while in college. The college sweethearts married in 2017 but had an unusually long gap between their next Muslim marriage celebrations planned to be held in 2020. With the world rocked by a pandemic they changed course and held their Rukhsati, a traditional send off by the elders of the family, at Zainabβs parentβs home in Lexington, KY.
An Earth Day Wedding Story | Mathew + Jessica
Jessica was the type of girl who swore sheβd never get marriedβ¦ until she met Mathew- obviously. :) As plans came together they decided on an intimate wedding on Earth Day, April 22nd, with sunrise ceremony plans in placeβ¦ life dealt them a new card- a pandemic. They persevered with their original date and got married on the front lawn of Jessicaβs motherβs house with an intimate affair but traded sunrise for sunset and spaced chairs for their family 6 feet apart. It was a day filled with joy that turned out absolutely perfect for them. I hope you enjoy seeing some favorites!
