Engagement Session: Shabbir and Arwa

The wonderful and glamorous Shabbir and Arwa. The two of them actually met at Arwa's place when Shabbir came down to Dubai from Chicago, and had no place to go, and arrived at her doorstep. Arwa always wanted a knight in shining armor on a horse, to knock on her door, but it was Shabbir with 2 suitcases and no place to go. How did that happen? Shabbir is good friends with Murtaza (Mapu) aka Arwa's cousin from Chicago, and he just said, hey man, just crash at my cousin's place. So there he was knocking on her door.

Shabbir and Arwa were great in front of the camera. A great pair, and fun people to be with. Frankly, when I met Shabbir, I was little weirded out with his habit of always having his hands in his pockets. The moment I asked to take them out, he would be like "Where do I keep them?". Then gradually, I realized that when I don't have my camera in my hand, my hands are in the pocket too.

The experience was exhilarating, and they both were lovely to shoot. We shot through the streets of Diera, and then finally ended up taking a ride on the Abra during Sunset. The light was amazing, and gave us some really good shots.
