Ambreen and Omar’s wedding was held on July 19, 2009 at the Marriott of Anaheim. Sometimes when Ahmed and Mehreen get busy during the peak wedding season, they will send other team photographers (and out source the full wedding photography) to other photographers. He trusts all his team photographers to produce amazing and beautiful images for AAcreation Photography clients because not only do they know AA’s photographic style, but there is also a relationship built on confidence between them that allows for extra shooters. Because Ahmed & Mehreen were busy the weekend of Ambreen and Omar’s Pakistani wedding, Rupesh Kotecha and Richard Agajanian were the photographers for this event. Rupesh and Richard did a phenomenal job at their wedding and produced aesthetically creative images that mirror our style. Ambreen and Omar were a great couple to work with at both their Mehndi and Pakistani wedding. The bride loves watching movies and traveling, while the groom is a surgeon in residency in Ohio and love electronics and music. Below are some of our favorite images from their Mehndi and wedding ceremony.

Nida and Imran were once again a great couple to work with. We previously photographed their Pakistani Engagement Session at the end of October 2009. Nida and Imran’s Pakistani wedding ceremony was held on New Year’s Day at Chandni Restaurant in Newark, California. The bride Nida is currently attending college and her interests are interior decorating, music, movies, arts and fashion. The groom Imran works full time and his interests include movies, cars, computers and the internet. The bride’s sister Tahrim, who was super helpful when she tagged along at their engagement session, created a video slideshow with all the friends at the wedding. Below are some of the sneak peek images from Nida and Imran’s wedding photography.

And They Lived Happily Ever After…

Ruby and Ausman were once again a complete joy to work with. We previously photographed their Nikah Ceremony and their Engagement session a few months prior to their wedding. Ruby and Ausman’s Pakistani wedding reception was held at the Hilton Long Beach. Ruby was such an awesome bride to work with because unlike most brides who are not comfortable posing, she perfectly knew how to model as a bride and made our job easier. Below are some of the sneak peek images from the bride and groom’s Wedding photography.

Juveria and Wasi’s Pakistani Muslim Nikah ceremony and reception were held at ShahNawaz Restaurant in Lakewood, California on November 25, 2009. The couple were a pleasure to work with and we had fun during the entire ceremony and reception. Juveria and Wasi have known each other for seven years and after such a long time of knowing each other, were excited about beginning their life together as husband and wife. When it came time to discussing the wedding details, the one thing the bride and groom both agreed on was that the photos had to be nothing less than magnificent and they wanted a photographer that understood their culture and tradition. That is why Juveria and Wasi chose to work with us after commenting on our photography as being “beautiful, classy, attractive, elegant and soft”. Below are some of our favorites from the evening.

Scrapbook Wedding Album of Pakistani Valima Reception at Vibiana Los Angeles California- Adnan and Sana

Courtney — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:59:12 +0000

Scrapbooking for some is just a hobby taken up during free time, but for others it is a way to creatively layout images that will ultimately capture the feeling and the mood connected to their memories rather than just placing photographs in a standard photo album. AAcreation Photography is one of the first South Asian wedding photography companies to incorporate the use of scrapbooking layouts and looks to create a scrapbook wedding album.

Scrapbooking generally includes using different colored backgrounds or designs, rubber stampings, cut-outs, die cuts, stickers and cards to enhance photographs and set the tone.

We offer several various kinds of albums and the scrapbooking wedding album is one of the unique options we have for our higher end packages. This particular wedding album is handmade and takes over 40 hours to create. Just like with any other standard album, we still strive to have a theme throughout the album and make sure that it is created with each client’s specific likes and needs in mind.

Below are some sample photographs of Adnan and Sana’s scrapbook wedding album. The photographs of the album do not compare to the level of detail and dedication that goes in these albums.

Adnan and Sana’s Pakistani Valima Reception was held on December 29, 2008 at Vibiana (www.vibianala.com) in Los Angeles, California. The reception was wonderful and we had fun photographing their event. Adnan and Sana were a great couple to work with and creating their scrapbook wedding album was just as fun as photographing their Pakistani Valima Reception.

Please enjoy the images below of how our scrapbooking wedding albums create a beautiful collection of your special day .
