There is nothing more amazing than shooting a destination wedding on a location you have dreamed about all your life.
When Deena and Nawaf contacted me from Philly, I could never imagine I would be the one chosen to shoot their wedding in Cairo.
Both of them had a connection with Egypt and it felt just natural to organize the whole wedding at Deena’s uncle’s gardens in the outskirts of Cairo. Not an easy task to fulfill from the US, but in a matter of weeks, everything was ready to go.
My second shooter and I flew in three days before the wedding from Stockholm and we had the chance of getting to know this wonderful couple better when we shoot their couple shoots on the day they got legally married.
We spend the day in Cairo’s market place, in Old Town, as well as by the Great Pyramids, at sunset.
In Egypt, getting legally married is not the most important part of the wedding. What really matters is the religious blessing given by an Egyptian priest and the Zaffa, the famous Egyptian musical-dancing procession followed by lots of good food and dancing, dancing, dancing, all night long!
Too many wonderful pictures to be posted in only one post, so I’ve divided the four days we spent together into many smaller posts. To see them all, please visit the links given under the pictures!

Just loved the brilliant ring shot amongst the terrain. Fabulous technique.
I was captivated by your ninth photo — black and white on one side merged with color on the other — very nice.
Very Interesting!

The first shot looks like something from out of a fairy tale — the couple walking towards the pyramids at sunset. Lovely.
I have never visited Cairo … and thank you so much for sharing such beautiful photos and culture of the pyramids and old town.
My very favorite is the last photo — not only the natural joy on the bride and groom’s faces — but the amazing cultural background.
Thoroughly enjoyed these wedding photos in Cairo. Wonderful background and joyful bride and groom.

What a beautiful and perfect place for a destination wedding! You will probably have many couples interested in arranging their wedding in Greece. I just love the photos, especially the one of the bride and groom walking along the pier as the sun was setting.
It’s not as beautyfull as the islands but yes…its prety nice i think.
Beautiful place for a wedding. Nice details and great photos with sunset.
Beautiful images! You really have a style that captures the full emotions.
I am captivated with your second last photo … on the dock … with the bride and groom … with the sun setting. The colors that your captured are breath taking.

I find your images very inspiring and look forward to seeing more.
Beautiful! Love the sleepy ring bearer in the armchair and the couple in shadow framed in the arch.
Fantastic imagery … all of them!
Dramatic imagery of the cathedral!
many thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
Very nice work!
Love the church photos the most … what a gorgeous church. Ireland is naturally beautiful … and you sure know how to capture that. Thanks, Shane.
Don’t you just love the uniquess of us all? Different from all the rest … what I really see is how you captured every single emotion a bride can feel in one day (and there are so, so many emotions). Yup .. you got them all. And, to me, that is the very essence of a phenonemal photographer.
Oh how natural Photo 9 is — that was definitely not a posed picture. You captured her joy beautifully.
Marvellous series … I too admire how your captured such bold and dramatic shots of the church.
Great selection of photographs
Beautifully thought out shots and poses. I love how the entire wedding party is captured and of course the ever-so-amazing look in the groom’s eyes when he’s finally married the girl of his dreams. You have really captured it all. Great work!
What a clarity in the pics I had never seen before specially in black and white pics..Great job!
I like pics a lot..
awesome photographs.Thanks ………
Really Friends it Beautiful Wedding photographer, I Like it.
