noah & sa'dia

bridal portraits based in oahu, hi

This... is one of my favorite stories to tell. Noah and Sa'dia had gotten married at least a year prior to booking me. They had a small midwest based wedding, but Noah booked me as a surprise for his new wife. They never had wedding photos or a honeymoon, so together we planned something special. He is Ethiopian and she is Somalian so he wanted to pick a terrain that looked like BOTH of their countries, amazing enough the island of Oahu, Hi looks like both! In their gallery you will see they wore three outfits -  a traditional Somali wedding outfit, traditional Ethiopian wedding attire, and a traditional wedding outfit! This couple and story is one I hold dear to my heart.
