WEDDINGS - BRIDES AND GROOMS

Wedding Day Photography is all about capturing that unique and intimate moment between the Wedding couple. The idea is to shoot them unawares, when they are absorbed into another, totally oblivious of the onlookers and their surroundings. The best photographs are those that are not posed for, but as a Wedding Photographer I have to abide by and respect the wishes of the bride, to photographs of what she wants. Normally the brides wants photographs of everything, which becomes cost prohibitive but eventually settles for pics with the family, and the new in-laws in order to stay within their  budget. 

However, photographs of the diamond ring, the designer shoes, the bouquet,  the designer Wedding Dress, the luxury car or limousine, the stage and the hair-do is a must, but this blog is not about painting all brides with the same brush, since each bride is unique and has her own preferences. Wedding Day photography with Photo Jani is all about what the bride wants, considering that our motto is, 

"Every bride needs a woman's touch on her Wedding Day!"

Generally the grooms are normally not too picky and will settle for what his wife wants and will go through the motions of posing for every photograph that she wants him to pose for. Below are photographs of 14 bridal couples, the  first one of the bride only then one of the bride and groom, in most cases. You be the judge as to who deserves to be bride of the year and which bridal couple looks the most suited to one another. Send so feedback with your choices. Thanks.

MUSLIM WEDDING - IZZUDDIEN AND ANEESAH

IZZUDDIEN AND ANEESAH

This is just one of the hundreds of Muslim Weddings I photographed.  The Wedding of Izzuddien and Aneesah  was like no other. It took place at the only "6 Star Hotel" in the Waterfront in Cape Town called "The One And Only".  It was a really a gorgeous Wedding Day and what a Wedding it was!

Aneesah wore  a cream morning Wedding gown just too beautiful for words. Her boutique of orange roses contrasted so beautifully with the gold trim in the dress and the glitter of the tiara.  Her Wedding Dress or afternoon dress was snow white but the only dwarves present were her miniature bride and groom. Her Wedding Dress was really a piece of art. The glass beading and embroidery just made it look so stunning. She had a pink boutique of roses to augment her dress but Aneesah didn't need any of this to enhance her beauty. She made a very beautiful bride indeed.

Izzuddien her husband wore a Tuxedo which stood out from that of his bestmen. For his Nikkah he wore a white thaub and fez and her looked so different.  At breakfast Izzuddien placed a very stunning wedding band and solitaire diamond ring Aneesah's her finger. The centre diamond was bigger than one caret and the Wedding band probably housed another half caret divided into several small stone. Her drops on her ears matched perfectly with her rings and I could almost swear they must were also diamonds of the same calibre.

Breakfast was stunning and there was so much to eat amongst which were Samosas and Badjas, Half moons, Pies and Pizzaz, Spiced beef rolls and cheese rolls, Koeksisters and Naan, coffee, tea and beverages of every kind. The colour coding of the entire Wedding was unmatched as can be seen below. The orange roses matched the orange serviettes. The pink chocolate cake matched the pink rose boutique,   the pink stage draping as well as the pink table decorations and the bridesmaids dresses. The reception started with a duah (prayer) by one of the elders followed by Qiraat (melodious recitation from memory) by one of the Huffadh (preservers of the Qur'an).

Lunch was amazing. the foods were extremely tasty and the variety enormous. It was more than obvious that a whole lot of planning went into getting this Wedding to be be what is was. I take my hat off to Aneesah and say three cheers to her and her husband.
