Aya & Hadi

On my travels long ago I ventured to Jordan in the Middle East. During that time Jordan was surrounded by conflict predominantly in Iraq & Lebanon. Sadly today that is still the case, however now that conflict has focused onto another of Jordan’s neighbors – Syria. Fortunately, unlike its neighbors, Jordan has managed to avoid any serious conflict in recent times. It has maintained its stability and peace against the odds. It’s a place of exotic culture, steeped in history and heartwarming friendliness and hospitality. My time in Jordan reiterated how misunderstood this part of the world is, but that is a conversation for another day.

What I am excited to share with you is a love story of two souls so intertwined they are one and the same. Aya and Hadi reside in Canada with Aya originally from Jordan. It was fitting for them to celebrate their love, faith, and heritage on this holy and ancient earth. How special it was…

Sib & Jonny

 

Sib only asked for one thing… “Eric! I have a ridiculously large love for cows and would love to have a photo of us with a cow (or cows!) in the background.” So we did. Sib in her fancy wedding dress jumped a big gate and tiptoed around fresh cowpats so I could fulfill her special request. I even think we got some ok photos sans Cow as well.

But seriously though, behind the laughs, it was very clear to me that there is a deep and sincere love that runs between these two. So, as much as I love cows (and I really do), it was those heartfelt moments that were the most special to capture.

As much as I love my destination work, I equally love shooting on home turf, so I am really excited to share more stories like this one.

I hope you enjoy checking out Sib & Jonny’s wedding day…
