After shooting Iqra & Shahzad’s intimate nikkah, we got to shoot their stunning regal rukhsati day last summer! It started with their wedding photography portraits at Parkwood Estate, followed by a beautiful event. It was a jam-packed day full of so many sweet moments we got to capture in both photos and video! Check out their video here: 

PARKWOOD ESTATE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

We started off at Parkwood Estate, one of our favourite locations we shared another shoot from recently. Every corner of the estate gave us a new frame, so we were able to get a variety of portraits here. If you love a grand, classic feel for your rukhsati portraits, we highly recommend this location!

A Classic Red Pakistani Bridal Look

Iqra wore a classic red Pakistani bridal lehenga, and it stole the show. Everything from her accessories to the stunning hair and makeup done by Nida Farooqi made for the perfect shaadi look.

WHY THEY CHOSE PARKWOOD ESTATE

Iqra and Shahzad picked Parkwood Estate for its timeless architecture and manicured grounds: The historic mansion, lush greenery, and that old-world charm create a beautifully timeless backdrop against their stunning classic Pakistani shaadi looks.

Every corner of the estate gave us a new frame, so we never ran out of ideas. If you love a grand, classic feel for your rukhsati portraits, we highly recommend this location!

A First Look With Friends and Family

At the venue, Iqra did her first look with her friends and family, and it was one of the sweetest moments of the day we captured. Everyone gathered around, and the reactions were priceless.

A CLASSIC RED AND WHITE AFFAIR

Simply Gorgeous Designs did their beautiful, classic red-and-white decor. We especially oved the small touches and little details, like the bride and groom names in Arabic written on the arches.

A Night full of traditions, laughter, and fun

Next came one of the most playful parts of the day. The vibes were immaculate through the cake cutting, jhoota chupai, speeches and all the fun moments in between. 

Iqra and Shahzad both have such lovely extroverted personalities, and made photographing their events so much fun! They laughed, joked, and played along with everyone. As a result, these photos are some of the most fun in their gallery.

A Sweet Sparkler Send-Off

To close out the night, Iqra and Shahzad had a sparkler send-off. Their loved ones lined up, lit their sparklers, and cheered as the couple walked through. It was sweet, glowing, and the perfect ending to such a joyful day. We were so honoured to be a part of it.
