Rina (Ariana) is a really close friend and I had the honor and absolute pleasure to photograph her wedding. Not only is she a dear friend but also a former roommate. And as you know, you learn a lot about a person when you live with them :).
First off, we share a love of books. But for Rina it is her love, her passion and now her career. She is one smokin’ hot librarian! When I’m hungry for a good book, she’s got a list for me. If I need someone to geek out with and analyze a book, she’s the one I call.
I also learned that she is an excellent cook – which worked out perfectly at the time because I rarely cooked. I’m not sure what I survived on besides cereal and the occasional Baja Fresh veggie burrito. My tummy’s standard of living has greatly improved since marrying Ronnie, though. He’s helped me actually PLAN meals and so I eat more consistently and more healthily than before.
Most importantly, I learned that Rina is kind and sweet, loyal and loving and just a really nice person. That makes Rina and Imad perfect for each other. A bit of a shy guy at first, Imad is just a really good man. He’s honest, thoughtful, genuine, respectful and he loves and cares for my Rina. He’s the kind of guy we all hope there are more of so we can hook up our girlfriends ;). By the way, did I mention he has a brother? LOL!
Okay, no more chatter from me because I’ll probably get all sentimental and sad that Rina and I are now separated by the entire United States (she lives on the East Coast now). Here’s why you’re really here:
