True love is so precious and so joyous, witnessing and watching two people who fit together so perfectly is truly a gift. That is how I felt while watching/photographing Nina and Hoss at their wedding celebration last week at the Oregon Golf Club, in West Linn, Oregon. Nina and Hoss did an amazing job of blending both their Iranian traditions and American traditions. The ceremony was full of life and color, just like the alter that the couple sat in front of. The family and friends gave gifts and exchanged embraces after the couple was blessed with salt, fed honey, and exchanged rings. The joy in the room was contagious and the love and happiness felt by your family was a beauty to behold. More guests, many from Iran, Canada, and California, arrived for the reception to congratulation the newly wed couple. The party continued with touching speeches, a traditional Iranian first dance, a knife dance before cutting the cake, and maybe the best open dance floor I’ve ever witnessed. Nina you were such a stunning bride and listening to you and Hoss exchange vows melted every heart in the room. I know you two will have a lifetime of happiness and adventure together. Thank you for sharing your day with me and letting me capture your love and rich culture.
