Cairo Egypt Wedding Photographer | Omar and Katherine Downtown Cairo | Timothy Kaldas Photography

kaldasia — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:03:46 +0000

Omar and Katherine are a really great couple based out in DC who came to Cairo to get married and have Omar’s family in attendance. Katherine’s family is from Nebraska and they’ll be having a second wedding out there shortly with all of them as well. A week before the wedding we headed downtown together to get some shots of the two of them together before the craziness of the days before the wedding overwhelmed them and their schedule. We checked out Talaat Harb and walked over by the Townhouse cultural center to get some shits. Then we rode a felucca together on the nile to get away from the crowds and finally we found ourselves in Ganaynat al Asmak in Zamalek to get in a few last shots in the relaxing atmosphere of the park. Working with Omar and Katherine was a pleasure and their wedding on New Year’s day at Katameya Heights was a blast.

Cairo Egypt Wedding Photographer | Randhir and Yasmine Marry at the Fairmont at Nile City | Timothy Kaldas Photography

You know what you should do when you plan your wedding? Plan for it to be outside in the DAY TIME! Please! Do you know why, because it’s so awesome to shoot in natural light and it will show in your photographs. In this particular case it also helps that Randhir and Yasmine are awesome. I met Randhir several months ago. He called me and told me I had to be their wedding photographer so we met up at the Marriott to discuss the wedding. We actually spent most of the time talking about life and politics over a beer, but we did spend 5 or 6 minutes on the wedding too Randhir and Yasmine treated me like a true friend from the outset. They invited me to a small party with their friends who had arrived in Cairo for the wedding in the days before the wedding. The two met while working for the UN in sub-Saharan Africa. Randhir himself is from Sri Lanka. The wedding party was a cool mix of people from just about everywhere. I always want to thank Amr Hosny for doing a fantastic job keeping the party going and my assistants Remon Michael and Ahmed Soliman for all their help throughout the night. I’d also like the tailor at the Fairmont for sowing the background for the photobooth to the stands so that it could withstand the crazy wind on the rooftop.

Cairo Egypt Wedding Photographer | Photobooths | Timothy Kaldas Photography

Over the past few months we’ve been offering clients something a little different as an add-on to their wedding photography package; photobooths. Basically we set up a mini studio outside your wedding venue, bring a lot of props and have a photographer there all night taking some hilarious and memorable photos of you, your family and your friends. Here’s some examples of photobooths we’ve done in May.

Cairo Egypt Wedding Photographer | Joe and Marina at Ramses | Timothy E Kaldas Photography

kaldasia — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:24:17 +0000

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!

“It’s prohibited to sit on the greenery!” Oh well…

Egypt Wedding Photographer | Atiaf and Ben’s Engagement Session | Timothy E Kaldas Photography

From the first time I met Ben and Atiaf I knew this was going to be a great couple to work with. They had amazing chemistry, were really laid back and got along beautifully. They also really trusted me to get the right shots and even allowed me to convince them to meet me at 8:30 in the morning at Talaat Harb on a Friday morning to start this shoot. Our goal was to get shots in the middle of one of Cairo’s busiest streets when it was completely empty. After shooting on Talaat Harb and around there for a bit we moved over to Zamalek’s Aquarium Park (Ganaynat al Asmak). Ben is from France and Atiaf is Yemeni and the wedding conducted a few days after this shoot was a crazy but incredibly fun party. Keep your eyes open for those pictures in the coming weeks. For now, meet Atiaf and Ben.

Egypt Wedding Photographer| Nada and Tarek Tie the Knot at the Sheraton in Cairo, Egypt

kaldasia — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:09:34 +0000

I really had a great time shooting this wedding. Nada came to me a couple of months back telling me how much she wanted me to be there and how her and Tarek had been together for the last decade or so. I could see how excited she was to get married and I was happy to be a part of the day. We had a great time with Ferrero Rochers (very tasty, as you can see in the pictures below during prep. Jeff did a great job with her makeup and the bridesmaids and Nada, who all used to be synchronized swimmers performed this crazy dance routine in the middle of the party. Tarek and his friends were a lot of fun to hang out with and while the pics didn’t make the blog post Tarek had a really cool pair of underwear with a special superhero… ehem the Black Panther. The party was a blast and the pics came out great. Have a look and let me know what you think.

Rabaa and Khalid’s Wedding at the Intercontinental Semiramis

kaldasia — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:20:35 +0000

Last month I had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Rabaa and Khalid at the Intercontinental Semiramis in Cairo, Egypt. Rabaa was actually one of the first to discover my work in Egypt. She came across my website early this year and emailed me asking to meet. Her and Khalid agreed to have me photograph their wedding and have been great clients to work with. The wedding was lovely full of friends and family and Rabaa was truly stunning in her dress as you’ll see below. I’d really like to thank you both for your warmth and inviting me to participate in your special day. I enjoyed my time thoroughly.
