Maher is from Canada, Nur’s from the US, they fell in love in Saudi and married in Dubai.

They chose the beautiful Palace Hotel, Downtown Dubai, as the setting for their reception celebration. We had to be very quick with the outside portrait session as the soaring temperature and humidity were against us, but we got some great shots. Nur looked stunning, Maher pretty damn suave, and the event planners ensured that they had the most beautiful backdrop by bathing the ballroom in fabulous pink and purple light.

All in all, shooting my first Arabic wedding (though not strictly traditional) was a fantastic experience. Thank you and congratulations, Maher & Nur!
