Early this month I flew back to Boston for a brief visit and it was my first time back since my friends Bishoi and Sarah got engaged. I’ve known these two for years and so when Bishoi asked me to shoot their engagement photos I immediately agreed. The weather on the morning of the shoot was cloudy and rainy and I loved it! Living in Cairo makes you actually miss the rain and I really like how the rain wove into the first pictures we took with it. We got to go around Boston Common and Newbury St. where I used to hang out when I lived back in Boston. I hope you guys like these photos as much as I do. And to Bishoi and Sarah congrats, and I can’t wait to be at the wedding.

A few days ago I got to shoot an engagement session of Ahmed and Dalia who will be getting married in a couple of weeks. Ahmed insisted that he wasn’t photogenic, but I think these shots prove otherwise. We had a lot of fun experimenting and getting lost at the Citadel. Ahmed and Dalia were great to work with and very easy going as we got lost about 5 million times that day. Towards the end of our visit the Citadel was invaded by literally hundreds of schoolchildren who kept saying to us a broken “aloooo” and staring at us as we worked in curiosity. This was my first shoot with my new 45mm Tilt Shift Lens. Look for the shots where the top and bottom of the picture are blurred to see the special results that come out of this fantastic piece of glass. After the Citadel we made our way to one of my favorite spots to shoot, Aquarium Park (Ganaynat al Asmak) in Zamalek. As always I love to hear your comments and what you think of the shoot. Thanks for visiting and, as always, please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

This was a really fun shoot I got to do with Joseph and Marina before their wedding. I’ve known them since last year when I photographed their engagement. It was a fun night and it was great meeting their family who danced the whole night making it a great and energetic party. When we started talking about their wedding and wedding photos I suggested doing a shoot at the train yard by Ramses Station where they fix old trains and they both immediately loved the idea. The first several images are from that shoot. The second part was shot at the Aquarium Park in Zamalek. Stay tuned for their wedding photos. It was an amazing party!
