AJ and Alex: Joining Two Cultures

filed under:

Wedding

When I first met AJ and Alex last fall for their engagement session, I knew this was going to be a fun couple. They had no problem during that session getting comfortable in front of the camera and being themselves, we even did a little dancing around the Tidal Basin in DC!

That made me excited to be a part of the fun of their wedding day. What I didn’t know or expect was how fun their bridal party was going to be! AJ and Alex have an amazing group of family and friends and this definitely came through in the bridal party and reception photos.

What I enjoyed most about this wedding was the rich combination of culture and tradition from both sides. AJ is from Egypt while Alex is from Germany. This meant that the wedding ceremony, held at Saint Mark’s Coptic Church in Fairfax, was translated into multiple languages. Other traditions included robes, incense, crowns, and singing throughout the ceremony.

I truly enjoyed being a part of this day and being able to share it with you. Enjoy these highlights below!

I don’t take it lightly when you invite me into your story.

After 10+ years and hundreds of weddings, this remains true: it all starts with trust, connection, and a shared belief that this really matters.

Whether we’re hiking through Shenandoah, gathering with your people downtown, or in the backyard of a beloved home, I’m there to notice what’s sacred and make it last. I aim to capture the kind of photographs that don’t just look beautiful, but genuinely reflect you and the life you’re creating.
