The coolest part, was their “engagement session”. We substitute their typical engagement session for a Persian wedding, called a Sofreh, that they did as a pre-ceremony to their actual ceremony.
This involves a setting of Flowers, Eggs, Esfand, Cookies, Candles, Bread and Cheese, Honey and Sweet, etc. (it’s a very large setting that actually took up Minas parents entire living room). Mina and Jeremy huddled under a fabric held by family and were sprinkled with sugar… they recited vows and became married by the Persian culture. As wedding photographers, it’s very neat to see all of the customs of other cultures – the celebration of wedding is a beautiful thing on many levels.
Mina and Jeremys Wedding was set at wildwood country club. It went smooth, as you hope all weddings do. Nothing too out of the ordinary and the bride was all smiles, making the photographers job very easy. They were both troopers and had fun the entire day. The funniest part was the separate cake Mina gave Jeremy during the wedding. It was a U of K, blue and white, covered cake…but the inside red velvet cake to show the symbol of the red cardinals ( the wildcats rivalry).
