Ali & Tathir's Destination Wedding in Africa

We had the wonderful pleasure of photographing Ali & Tathir as they tied the knot in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania this summer. This wedding was first of two destination weddings we were blessed to be covering this summer and what a blast we had!!!


The name, Dar es Salaam is Arabic for "Haven of Peace" and what a gorgeous Haven it was!!! I am sure you will agree from the pictures below!

Shalhoub Family Shoot

It was supposed to be a nice comfortable Saturday morning at a local waterfront location for my shoot with the Shalhoub Family. However, mother nature had other plans for us. When we arrived at the location - early at approx. 10am, the temperature was 37 Degrees (F)!!!!! Once our nerves settled (and warmed up in the morning sun!), we were all like "ok, whatever, its cold, but Lets do this!"

The entire family was such a great sport and I think you will agree with me when you see the below images, you can't even tell how cold it was. The location had an old shed on the beach with a boat and i think that really added to the character of the images which we ended up with.

I had such a great pleasure to have an opportunity to shoot this family!
