2011Sana and Arman was the first couple that I signed for ROKChoi and that meant a lot to me that these guys entrusted me with their special day, so naturally, I would bend over backwards for them and I almost did when Arman and his crew decided stampede over Sana’s crew during his entrance!
Arman is from Dallas so we couldn’t squeeze in an engagement shoot to warm up, however, these guys were naturals and I really wished we had time to shoot more. Perhaps a shoot in Dallas? *hint hint*
I did not have any photos of these two together until after their entrance to the hall! That was a bit nerve wrecking. Despite a few hiccups on the wedding day, everything worked out in the end and we got some awesome material to work with!
Big thanks to Pris for coming along to help me out! Couldn’t have done it without you!
Sana and Arman, thank you for entrusting me with the opportunity to capture your wedding day, it was a pleasure to work with you guys and I wish you guys a life time of happiness!
Please click here for the slideshow of these images.
Enjoy!
These are some pretty fancy shoes!!
One of my favourite prep shots!
This shot with the eye in the small piece of mirror is definitely one of my all time favourite shots (from my camera)!!
I told Arman to seduce the camera. I think he’s just pissed off here though…
This is where Arman and his crew tried to run me over and yelling “U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A”.
This was an important shot for Sana and she looks stunning here! These guys look alright too!
This was actually the first shot that I got of them together!
This was a very touching moment as Sana is moving to Dallas with Arman, her dad grabbed Arman’s dad and held all their hands together, asking them to please take care of Sana. (I think that was what he said…)
The family portraits were very important to these guys and I spent some time get some proper shots that Sana and Arman can cherish for years to come! I stopped after this shot and said to them, this would look beautiful on your wall!
I envisioned this as one of those old school photos from the ’50s! Arman, boss.
So glad we got to get a few shots from this classic Rolls Royce that they got!
