Syed and Mandy live in Chicago. They had never met each other before until each one of them decided to take a trip back down south to see family that lived in Houston. Syed and Mandy met that day on the plane. How very romance movie-like of them yes? And for another 10 romance points, Syed proposed to Mandy in a restaurant at the top of downtown Chicago high rise. What is so awesome about both of them, in addition to their super sweet and caring personalities, is that they decided to honor each other by having ceremonies from each of their cultures. I was so excited to be able to shoot the first of the events on Friday night, so consider this Part 1 of Syed + Mandy. After the cultural ceremony, friends and family gathered for mingling and some awesome food and a portion of the evening was devoted to pictures of everyone in attendance. We also got to sneak away for a few minutes alone so I wanted to share some of those images. Part 2 of their American ceremony coming soon!
Mandy had so many ideas for pictures and one of them was that she wanted to somehow capture the reflection of the light fixture in these four paneled windows. Of course, I was all about it and loved how they came out. Great eye, Mandy!
