Shahzade & Haneef's Wedding
Mississauga Ismaili Wedding Photography
Shortly after Aamina and Moe’s wedding day, I received a phone call from their cousin Shahzade all the way in British Columbia, who was planning her upcoming wedding in Ontario!
Due to the distance, Shahzade, her fiance Haneef, and I didn’t get a chance to meet in person until the day before their wedding – during their mehndi event. It was immediately obvious that they were a down to earth, fun loving couple – and we had a great time!
The next day, their wedding ceremony took place at the Meadowvale Jama’at Khana, followed by family photos at the Khana. Shah and Haneef’s formal photos took place at the Jubilee Garden by Mississauga City Hall, and their gorgeous reception was hosted at the Red Rose Convention Centre. This was my third Ismaili wedding, and I love how much I’ve learned about Ismaili wedding traditions and symbolism.
I had a wonderful time with this couple and I’m so sad that they live so far away!
“Ema did an amazing job with our wedding photographs! She was very very easy to work with especially because I live all the way in Vancouver and my wedding was held in Ontario. She was extremely organized as she let me know about the photography permit for the garden space we wanted to do our photoshoot at. She was also extremely patient with large large family photos and made sure the shots were excellent before moving on to the next large family. She was a good sport and even took us back to the hotel after the photoshoot so that we had time to change for the reception! She also was very funny while I was getting ready for the wedding (which took off a great deal of stress at the time)! I would recommend her to everyone and give her five stars!” – Shahzade
