Kamyar & Samira's Pasadena wedding!

Last weekend, my husband and I flew to Los Angeles, California for my cousin's wedding at the Athenaeum in Pasadena. Flying to Los Angeles to be with my cousins is always fun with or without a wedding, but it's even more fun when there is a wedding involved. This wedding was particularly exciting for us because we are going to be neighbors in Palo Alto next summer!!

At weddings, I often stalk the couple through my lens for a while to try and capture a few moments of pure happiness. At Kamyar & Samira's wedding, I basically captured one of those moments every time I looked at them :) 

Congratulations!! As a related side note, I fully expect this picture of the four of us framed in your future home :)

Kamyar & Natalia's Baha'i Wedding in Tampa!

I was a guest at Natalia & Kamyar's Persian Baha'i wedding at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay hotel, but I still got a lot of great shots at their wedding. I'm afraid I'm slowly becoming "that relative" at weddings that takes as many photos as the hired photographer. To be fair, I try to stay completely out of the way, but I still enjoy taking pictures. At most weddings, I'm able to capture the few random moments that the bride and groom share together when they think no one is looking. With Kamyar & Natalia, I caught dozens of these moments because they smiled at each other the entire time, as if no one else was there. I have always known Natalia to be one of my sweetest and warmest cousins, and I am so happy that she found someone that is equally warm and sweet. It's also an added bonus that he shares the same sense of humor as our family. He'll fit right in :)
