African White-Backed Vulture - Tanzania Abstract Photography

 A medium-sized vulture, the White-backed vulture (Gyps Africanus) has a wingspan of 1.96 to 2.25 m (6 to 7 feet) and uses those wings to soar the plains of sub Saharan Africa, in search of carrion. It's long neck, covered only in fine white down, allows it to reach deep into a carcass without getting dirty.

Nafilia & Aleem Met the Mayor of Calgary (Ismaili Wedding Photography in Edmonton)

Image
 Nafilia and Aleem's big day has arrived and all the details have to be perfect:  Good thing I took a shower just before I came. There's a long line:  But Naf keeps a tight schedule, so everything runs smoothly. Upstairs and downstairs:  Dao can't hide her excitement to play with the bride's hair:  I can't get over how awesome these paper flowers are:  Same morning, different location, Aleem starts the day with the right foot:  And works his way up:  We go to a park - not my first choice because of the midday sun - for the first touch on the shoulder:  And the first hug, which is, actually, the last hug as an engaged couple:  Between FIFA Women's World Cup opening game and the Pride Parade, you would think that we have enough excitement for one day. But we can do better with the help of Calgary mayor, Naheed Nenshi, who's always game for some pictures:  We cool off a little bit inside the Belle Rive Jamatkhana, where the Nikah cerem...

Farah & Rahim - Ismaili Wedding at the Sheraton Cavalier

Image
Farah: "On our first date, he showed up an hour late, and our first stop was a gas station; only to realize he forgot his wallet! Needless to say, it was no ordinary first date. I knew there was something special about Rahim from that very first moment... and the adventure hasn't stopped since. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with the man who makes all my dreams come true!"  Before that happens, he has to figure out how to make a tie knot.  Maybe his groomsmen can help.  Meanwhile, at Farah's home:  Mom ties a lemon to her outfit with the specific purpose of warding off all evil spirits: She's now ready to be picked up by her prince:   Rahim: "I proposed to the woman of my dreams in September 2015, in Vancouver. I had an elaborate plan like a horse and carriage ride through Stanley Park. Needless to say, Farah asks way too many questions and I was forced to come up with an impromptu backup plan. We started to walk along English Bay and I saw a...

Navjot & Manny Are Busy ... Getting Married

Image
"Meeting each other has been the ultimate blessing. Every day together is our most favourite day with each other. We were both told that if you love someone with your heart then the whole universe tries to get you close to them. We can honestly say that we feel the universe has changed inside-out to get us together….how can we go against its wishes?!" Tying the pugh - the not so interesting part: And the very interesting part: With the sehra bandi on, the groom is ready to leave his house: And drive: An old Punjabi blessing says: "May the color of your Ferrari match the color of your turban" The baarat never looked so fancy: First waltz of the day: And some free style: The milni ritual puts everybody in a good mood. So the wedding ceremony can begin: Navjot's family takes advantage by the fact that Manny is hypnotized by my camera, and they steal his shoes. Right off his feet. It's alway brutal: The consequences are even worse. April in Calgary can b...
