I am so very excited to share this shoot with you! Nida and I have known each other for a long time and I hadn’t seen her since High School, so I was so pleased to be able to do a shoot with her and her fairly new husband Jawad last weekend. When Nida contacted me, she informed me that the main reason for wanting these pictures was because her and her husband have had a rough time with their wedding photographer from over a year ago. I won’t get into the details, but let’s just say they have yet to receive their photos! When I heard this, my main goal was simply to take some beautiful pictures of this wonderful couple, and to get the pictures to them as soon as possible!

Nida and Jawad are just plain adorable! We had a blast last weekend, and they had me laughing the entire time. We started out at the JMU Arboretum. Nida wore two of the three traditional gowns from her wedding which were just beyond stunning, and then changed into some casual clothes for our shoot in downtown Harrisonburg. Another special reason for this shoot is that Nida and Jawad are getting ready to spend some time apart as Nida is going back to school and Jawad is getting ready to open up a business in a different location. I wish nothing but the best for this amazing couple! Enjoy!
