Nawal + Qayem | Day 4

This post is my last; but obviously just the beginning for Nawal & Qayem. I can't put into words what it was like to experience these four days with their family. Walking into a 800+ wedding spanning over multiple days is quite daunting; to say the least. Do you know what eased me throughout the whole experience? How genuine, and absolutely amazing Nawal & Qayem's family was. Staying focused over 30 hours is not easy; but when you are witnessing such love and joy due to the celebration of two wonderful people; it can come quite easy. Let's not sell short just how gorgeous these guys are together. I know it sounds like I am blowing smoke; but seriously, THANK YOU to Nawal & Qayem. I learned more than you can ever imagine during those 4 long days. I grew as a photographer, creatively and soundly. I wish you both the best.
