Zara and Asad’s Private Estate Nikkah ceremony in Richmond, Virginia was intimate and emotional. We love South Asian weddings and all the culture, religion, and customs they bring. After a warm welcome from Zara’s parents into their home, they exchanged vows, blessings, and rings. Following family portraits, we headed to Maymont Botanical Garden for a stunning portrait session. You’d never know it was over one hundred degrees, one of the hottest and most humid days of the summer. Zara and Asad are absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to share more from their vibrant Mehndi and impeccable Shaadi.

Congratulations Zara & Asad!
