I was contacted by Hodan’s friend a month before her engagement session and had some reservations, as I had never photographed an Islamic engagement celebration before and was unfamiliar with what was all involved. After meeting with both Hodan and her friend and understanding more about what they were looking for I happily accepted the assignment. Hodan and her bridesmaids were stunning. I met Abraham the day of the shoot, and we worked out everything with the group at a new location I had found a few weeks prior.
