A love letter, best of the best 2011, and a whole lot of awesomeness01.06.12

To my dearest Adam,

Do you remember that day back in college before we started dating when you came into my office at the newspaper and told me you had been asked to quit photography? Do you remember what I said? God had given you the ability to tell people’s stories through a lens in a very unique and beautiful way and that gift needs to be shared with the world. I then demanded that you not quit… Is that when you decided to ask me out on a date? ;)

I think its safe to say that you made a really good decision by sticking with photography. And even through all of the hurtles, road blocks, and brick walls we faced this past year and the parts of 2011 we would love to forget, we have to remember there were SO many amazing parts we shared together. The year ended on such an amazing note and the first week of the new year is looking AMAZING!

This past year you took your photography to a whole new level. Words cannot describe how extremely proud and blown away I am by the work you have produced. There is only one way to go from here and that’s UP. We can’t look back on the past we have to continue to grow and look ahead to what the future has in store for us.

This week the industry took notice as well. Out of 5,000 entries only 50 photos were chosen as the “best wedding photos of the year,” by Junebug Weddings and your photo was among them. Can you believe it? Your photo was among images from some of the world’s best wedding photographers, some of whom we are lucky enough to call our friends. You are a part of Junebug’s Best of the Best for 2011! And since you have such a hard time bragging about yourself, I’ll do it for you!

So, today we’ll celebrate you (and a little bit of me ;) ) and some of our awesome features we’ve had the last few months! I can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with this year… our couples are going to be SO ecstatic!

Love always, Imthiaz

Whitney & Scott: Montrose Colorado Wedding09.27.11

This year, and late last year, we have been fortunate enough to document a few different circles of friends. Whitney and Scott’s family of friends have been awesome to get to know and celebrate with.

This is the third wedding from Whitney and Scott’s amazing group of friends. When we’re around them its a breath of fresh air. The wedding days are perfect and everyone has an amazing time. We know everyone by name and they aren’t surprised when we boss them around ;) .

I would be dishonest if I said we haven’t be excited for this wedding all year. From the moment Adam met Whitney we knew this was meant to be. We knew the moment she went to Blue Bridal Couture and bought a dress we had photographed HERE and HERE, that this was a wedding we were meant to be a part of. Whitney and Scott have been amazing from the very beginning but… sometimes you have to stop talking, typing, and chatting and let the photos speak for themselves…

Thank you Whitney and Scott for the snake hunting, meat patty sandwiches, and for allowing us into your world. We know that there will be so much more to come from you and your friends and we can’t wait to take the ride with all of you.

xoxo A, Z & ‘lil Z.

Diana & Greg: St. Louis Wedding07.26.11

Greg’s family relocated to St. Louis from New Jersey. As fate would have it Greg met Diana when he was attending Washington University in St. Louis. They knew right away it was meant to be. So, when Diana decided to move to New York Greg made the move with her and they started their life together.

When it came time to start planning the wedding they knew there wasn’t a better place to celebrate then the very place it all started. Friends and family came together from all over the world to step onto the very campus where Diana and Greg first met. With the Gothic architecture and the rich history WUSTL made for the perfect setting for such an elegant couple.

Their day was full of joy, warmth, and laughter. We so excited that we were a part of such a wonderful day with such an amazing couple!

Enjoy the highlights! :)
