At the beginning, we were searching for a wedding photographer and we found Shady through a group on Facebook. We looked at some of his photographs and we liked the quality of the photos so we decided to take the risk. We called him and he was so funny, we agreed on meeting in a cafe to discuss the details. We were in the cafe and against our expectations, a huge person entered and he was Shady.
He was so organized and had papers with questions and ideas covering every single detail, details that we didn't even had in mind. From here, our vision for our photographer changed from just a person taking photos to be put in an album to someone who shares your experience and makes it far more exciting. We decided to go to the hotel on a Friday to make a trial session. We went to the hotel on the agreed day, and we really wanted to discover what we were going to do with this large bag he had with him. He took his professional cam. and started playing with us. looking at the photographs he took, we were really happy to see how cute we were. Since that time we were really excited for our wedding day. On the wedding day, Shady was there in time. He was there with us as a friend rather than a photographer. He helped both of us being relaxed and he was really someone you can depend on. Beside taking photographs for the prewedding, he was also helping us in matters related to the wedding itself. We started the photographing and we were really surprised how this huge person ( our first impression) did everything he could to take great shots. You can see him sleeping on the ground, standing on a bench and almost flying to take a good shot. He made us reach a point where we really liked taking these photos. The amazing thing is that we felt free, we didn't feel there is someone strange between us that forces us to stand in a certain position because we were taking our wedding photo. Instead, we felt everything was spontaneous, and we took photos that really shows our feeling and our happiness. Shady really added a great joy to our wedding day. After that, when we saw the photos, we found that every photo says something different, something that we really felt. AT this time, we realized that it would have been a big loss, if anyone else was our photographer. We gained from this experience, not only great photos that would last a life time with us but more importantly a friend.
