After Saba & Faran’s vibrant shendi they had an equally gorgeous valima! We started out with couples portraits in the beautiful Adamson Estates in Mississauga. Since it was a spring wedding, we caught the blooming magnolia and cherry blossoms which were the perfect backdrop for Saba’s pretty pastel outfit. While you need a photography permit […]

As the first proper spring/summer wedding of last year, Saba and Faran’s celebrations felt like the sweetest way to welcome the season back with their shendi (shaadi + mehendi). The event was filled with color, movement, and so much heart, with both the bride and groom’s families so involved, making every part of it so […]

We’re thrilled to announce that film photography is joining our 2026 wedding collections! Because some moments deserve to live exactly the way they felt — timeless, nostalgic, and a little dreamy. At Qurrat A’yun Studios, we love bright, timeless editing, but there is something special about the way film captures light that feels almost magical. […]

One of my favorite weddings from last year was Mariam and Suleman’s three-day Pakistani wedding in the Bay Area!

We started off with Mariam’s pre-mehendi […]

We had the pleasure of photographing Rida & Faraz’s wedding last summer in Toronto. Both their mehendi and nikkah were beautifully done and it was so nice to work with the family again after I shot Faraz’s sister Annie’s wedding back in 2017. We started off with the colourful mehndi which was shot by one […]

If you’re a bride planning a nikkah this summer and are worried about taking pictures before your nikkah – I’ve got our back! This is something a lot of brides don’t think about when planning, and a lot of couples end up skipping their pre-event shoots outdoors pre-nikkah or even on the mehendi day since […]
