Karen L. Barnes Photography

I’m way behind on my blogging again, but I’m really going to try to get back on track, in between all the summer sessions I have scheduled right now.

Jasmin and Mike’s wedding was the first Egyptian Coptic wedding I had ever photographed, and I loved experiencing the involved traditions. I began my career in wedding photography through a documentary project involving various religious groups, and I’m fascinated by learning about religious and cultural customs.

Jasmin is always beautiful, but she was an amazingly gorgeous bride.

Mike looked this excited all day.

After the ceremony, we went to the reception site, and out onto the golf course for some shots of the two of them alone.

After the formal photos, we went inside for the reception. These guys rapped about Jasmin and Mike.

Everyone got a little teary-eyed during Mike’s sister’s speech.

I think every person in attendance was on the dance floor. Seriously.

I wish you both a marriage as amazing as your wedding celebration. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of it!
