Engagement Session : Kumail & Pamela

Can't you tell they are made for each other? Kumail and Pamela, have finally arrived at the point where they were destined to be; with each other. I've known Kumail since High School, and met Pamela during College, and now, two good friends become one. Pamela is a sweetheart and a wonderful lady. Her radiant smile and her jolly-good personality is nothing less then simply amazing. Ofcourse, I wouldn't say Kumail is any less. I am so happy they have made it to this point, and I hope they stay happy for years to come.

Our shoot took place in a small garden, in the middle of Karama (totally not the location we had in mind) and I made Pamela doll up at 3AM. Haha! Ofcourse there were some miscalculations by me for the sunrise, but I think in the end all went pretty well I would say.

This is right before their wedding here in Dubai. They've finally tied the knot. Congratulations!

Here are a few shots from that day. Enjoy :D

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.
