Shaza & Usama - May 3rd, 2008

Its been a while since I last posted a formal event on this blog so you can imagine my excitement when I got a chance to photograph Shaza & Usama's 'post-nikkah' party hosted by her sister Siraj. The event was held at the Tall Grass Clubhouse in Naperville, Illinois. It's funny how all my photo gigs are almost all referrals. I initially met Shaza through my sis-in-law Shazia. I'd best describe Shaza as beautiful and jovial with a sunny disposition that is indeed very contagious!

The event was really fun to shoot because it was quite informal and intimate. Shaza looked stunning in lavender, as did all the other ladies who apparently were told to dress in 'jewel tone' colors!
The thing that took the cake literally (so to speak) was the 'Cake' that Shaza's sister ordered for the party. It just looked waaay too cute to eat!
