A couple of weeks ago we experienced our first Persian wedding! It was definitely nothing short of amazing and exactly what we expected it to be…glamorous, beautiful, and epic! Persian weddings are typically filled with lots of unique traditions, many of which took place in Neda + Cyrus’ wedding. Everyone dressed to the nines…the women, in particular, decked themselves out in gorgeous ballroom gowns. Neda + Cyrus’ wedding was held at The Jefferson Hotel in downtown Richmond. They incorporated so many gorgeous orchids all over their wedding, provided by Flowers Make Scents…each guest even had their own! Coordination was provided by Naomi Meyer and we were so excited to work with our good friend and cinematographer, Josh Gooden, again (be sure to check out his highlights in a few days)!! Enjoy this amazing couple!

Neda, you’re stunning!!
Neda + Cyrus chose to do a “First Look”…the most priceless expressions!
LOVED her bouquet!
In Persian wedding ceremonies, the bride and groom sit at a wedding table filled with sweets, pastries, honey, nuts, and fruits.
Neda’s father gave their ceremony…it was so beautiful and sweet!
during the ceremony the bride and groom feed each other honey, which represents the sweetness of marriage
More portraits!
Bride’s-to-be: if you are planning an indoor reception, consider hiring a professional lighting company! It makes a HUGE difference!
LOVED the energy at their wedding…everyone was on the dance floor!
In Persian weddings, the girls join in a sword dance and dance in front of the bride and groom, whom in return, give them money
