Henna Party in Barsha, Dubai – Yousef & Khadija

As a photographer, I absolutely loOoOoOove themed parties.
Especially when the party is thoughtfully put together with enormous amount of details and colors. I jumped with joy when Khadija told me that she was to have an Indian themed henna party. I knew something extravagant was in store because Khadija won’t settle for less.

When I entered the venue, my jaw dropped, eyes sparkled, and my heart did a happy dance. From the entrance with little decorated elephant hanging, to kosha/stage, to the tables setup with traditional Indian pots with Gota handwork and real jasmine flowers, everything represented perfection. I must give all the credit to the kosha decorator Al Mahad Events for their extra ordinary attention to details. They stuck to the theme and put together every single detail with elegance and style.

After their engagement party, I was honored to photograph the gorgeous Indian themed henna party of my darling bride+groom+friends > Khadija & Yousef. Their party was nothing short of awesomeness with tons of details, fun, hugs, and immense love.

Khadija rocked her gorgeous shalwar-kameez customized, made, and delivered allllll the way from India.

The details!!! ❤

I throughly enjoyed the Arabic traditions and rituals performed where an elderly lady of the family puts attar/perfume on bride’s hands.

Yousef didn’t want to let go of Khadija’s hand…

Khadija & Yousef,

Ahhhh…what do I say to both of you? Thank You!!! For Everything. You guys are the best!!!! May you keep making and laughing at the silliest jokes. Endlessly.  Climb the stairs of success. Together. Hold each other’s hand. Always. Love each other. Eternally. Forever. And Ever. And Ever…..

Love,
