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.

WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHY IN RONDEBOSCH EAST 2

WARDA & SALMAAN

The marriage between +Salmaan and +Warda took place on Sunday past. The Wedding proceedings started out with a one hour Dhikr by the Naqshbandi order headed up by +Dr Yusuf Da Costa, the Southern Africa Khalifah of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Haqqani of Cyprus - the head of the worldwide Naqshbandi Order. Salaam the groom is his grandson, the son of his daughter +Latifa, a prominent practicing dentist. I am a Wedding Photographer As can be seen by the photographs below, Dr Yusuf Da Costa is presiding over the Nikah which took place at Taronga Road Masjied. The mosque was very well attended and the traditional breakfast for men after the Nikah  in the adjoining hall was however attended by both men and women as can also be seen on the photographs below. There was lots to eat and drink from traditional koeksisters to samosas, to pies, to cocktail pizzas, to spiced beef rolls and sausage rolls.

The female guests also witnessed the Nikah from the back of the mosque sitting alongside +Warda the bride of +Salmaan. She was really beautifully dressed and in my opinion, her morning Wedding dress was far more dashing than her afternoon Wedding Gown. Warda looked like the picture-book version of +Cinderella after the glass slipper fitted her foot qualifying her to marry her prince charming. Her bridesmaids look really beautiful, each had a white umbrella which was really apt considering the sun was so intense on her Wedding Day.
