It has been one of my dreams was to photograph a wedding at the Art Gallery of NSW. And when Mushira & Adam told me their venue, I let out a little gasp and thought this is the perfect couple for that venue. Larger than life, filled with amazingness, accessible to anyone, intricately detailed, made to be enjoyed.
Mushira & Adam began their wedding celebrations with a traditional Muslim wedding at their hotel the day before their big wedding day. Dressed in beautiful traditional outfits, the couple and guests gathered for an intimate family service and celebration. This is also the first time I encountered Mushira's hilarious facial expressions! Whether it's nerves or just not taking life too seriously, I couldn't help but capture their love in a way I never have before.
Their favourite people from near and far gathered at the Art Gallery for their ceremony and it was the perfect amount of fun, love and silliness which pretty much sums up this couple. Mushira started off her vows, gazing deeply into Adam's eyes and proclaiming "Adam you infuriate me." Howls of laughter from everyone. But then added that Adam is the most optimistic and nicest person ever, and no matter how hard she tried, he would always be the nicest one. A nice problem to have, I think!
The Art Gallery is an amazing space which feels both intimate but grand and spacious. There's something special about having a public space all to yourself. The quiet to take in the awe of the incredible artwork and the freedom to wander about in your own time. It was pretty special for me!
It's obvious that these two love each other and they are perfectly matched. They have their opposites and things that balance each other, but one thing they both are is that they are the nicest people ever!
Day 2: Their Wedding Day started at their hotel with getting ready followed by a lovely First Look.
