Beautiful Complete Wedding Post!!!

 Here is the beautiful complete wedding post of Aziza and Jonathan. They are not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside. Before we get into their wedding pictures, here is a little of the beginning of their love story...in their own words.


Although Aziza and Jonathan met when they were both at UC Davis, they didn't get to know each other until years later. Jonathan's short stint at a Sacramento start up allowed them to begin hanging out with the same crowd. In late 2010, Aziza was diagnosed with cancer. Her amazing family and close friends, including Jon rallied around her during this extremely challenging time in her life. It was then that their friendship blossomed over their similar outlook on life, shared love for literature, and penchant for socializing. Looking back on this time in her life, Aziza often jokes that love must have been blind for Jon to have fallen in love with her when she had no hair and put on 30 pounds from the grueling chemotherapy regimen and numerous surgeries.

Some months later, under the influence of liquid courage, Aziza admitted that her had developed feelings for Jon. To which Jon said, "That is perfectly natural,"and some other very Dr. Phil like comments. Mortified, Aziza went home that night wishing she had not divulged her feeling for Jon and feared that their friendship was in danger of turning awkward. In reality, Jon had been feeling the same way, but did not think the feeling was mutual. because Jon likes to play hard to get, he decided to torture Aziza by waiting a whole week before telling her how he actually felt.

Aziza and Jon started dating soon after. They moved to Oakland in May 2012 and Jon started law school at UC Berkeley. On September 2, 2012, Jon proposed to Aziza at the restaurant where they had gone on their first date - also named Aziza.

While Aziza and Jon have had to confront challenges that very few young couples their age go through, their unwavering commitment, deep affection, and enduring love for one another has seen them through their darkest moments in turn proving, that together they can get through anything.

On to the wedding day!!!
I love the simple beauty of Aziza's wedding dress...


Off and on throughout this post you will get a peek at these beautiful shoes...

I love that momma Singh is in the background of this picture getting ready behind her daughter. 


Here are the gift's that Aziza MADE and gave to all of her bridesmaids, on a side note, after the wedding, she sent two beautiful pairs of earnings for Dina and I. That was totally awesome!











Aziza had two dresses, this one for the sneak peek, formals and reception. She wore a beautiful sari that you will see her change into a bit later before the ceremony. 





The most awesome jewelry ever!

We try to make the formals seem not so formal by letting our couples interact as naturally as possible, so we get the most candid looking pictures as possible.
