Venue: Royal Palace Banquet Hall, Fremont

This blog is about Sarah and Ani’s Nikaah Ceremony. They had two events for their wedding.

We did a photoshoot session at Shinn Historical Park in Fremont before we got to the venue. The photoshoot was perfect at golden hour with golden hues on the couple and we also did their first look away from the crowds which was very special for them.

We got decor and guests mingling before the bridal entry for her Nikaah. After the Nikaah ceremony we got family and friends photos on the stage. This was followed by lots of dancing. There was a live singer and drummer band with traditional sudanese songs and dancing that added to the ambience and made it memorable. Sudanese music is amazing and we had a great time photographing the dancing.

Guests wore traditional sudanese saree dress Toub and
