Photos to look back on forever!
When we began planning our wedding, my husband and I talked about the 'must haves' for our wedding- things that we knew were non-negotiable to us. The top of both of our lists were our photographer. We knew above all else, we wanted someone who could capture our wedding and give us memories that we could look back at years later. We both looked at multiple photographers, but Jashim Jalal's Instagram was the one we kept coming back to. His candids were beautiful, perfectly capturing the emotion of his couples' day and telling a perfect story. His portraits were absolutely breathtaking and looked like something out of a magazine. We still were between a few choices, but what really sealed the deal for us was my initial phone call with him. When you first speak to Jashim, he automatically makes you feel like a friend. He genuinely wants to know your story and what your vision of the day is. When speaking to him, you can tell that photography is truly his passion and it was something that absolutely won me over that as soon as I finished my call with him, I called my fiancé and told him that we had found our wedding photographer.
Our engagement session with Jashim was great! We decided to try an outdoor nature -filled engagement shoot and Jashim made every picture look amazing. He kept us at ease and laughing the entire day, and gave us tips of how to pose and look more natural in front of his camera.
On my wedding day, it was so great to see a familiar face that morning! Jashim came in with a big smile and automatically went to work, blending so well into the background and capturing images that I didn't even realize were happening! He, Christa his assistant, and our second photographer, Ruby, were with us throughout the entire day and captured every important moment of our day so perfectly.
One of the things I was most concerned about was that a majority of our bridal party/couple pictures would be taking place outside after the sun went down due to our late November wedding. A huge part of me was nervous about how these pictures would turn out. Jashim and Ruby- when I say that these nighttime pictures are my absolute favorite from our album, I truly mean it. They are so breathtaking and so much more than I ever could have imagined. Looking through each of these pictures has been great, seeing the emotion captured during the day, the moments we didn't even realize were happening, and seeing all of our friends and family celebrating together. If you are hesitating on whether or not to book Jashim, do yourself a favor and book a call with him, and see for yourself why he may be the perfect photographer for you! Thank you Jashim, Ruby, and Christa for capturing our day! You have given us such an amazing gift to look back on!
