Tiffany & Ben's Wedding Day

Hey Everyone!

I got asked by my fellow photographers the other day “what makes an awesome wedding?” some of us said when you don’t get a dry couple or an ugly venue but for me it’s two things. When a couple gives me enough time to do my thing and more importantly when you have...

Anonymous - WOW!!! After seeing the photo’s from Tiffany & Ben’s “E-Session” I was more than impressed and anxious to see how creative you were going to be with the wedding photo’s. The teaser that you have posted on your blog is truly a tease. Your ability to capture and perserve in picture the important qualities associated with this couple and those that are close to them is amazing. Love, Laughter, Family, and Community, it’s all there!!! It was a special day for those of us attending and thank you for ensuring that Ben and Tiffany will have top quality pictures to reflect upon for themselves and future generations. Robin

Maegan - BASS!!! the pics are amazing!!!! I can’t even fathom how well these pictures turned out! They are truely amazing! I know my sister and Ben are loving them! You were able to capture all the simple loving, campassionate moments that usually get missed in still photography. It is becuase of this ability you have to capture such rich moments in time and make them last a life time that you are truely unbelieveble in your work. As a person and as a professional you are truely amamzing; as your energy shines through each of your amazing photographs. It is becuase of this that your photos shine. Your ability to open people up and let them have fun on such an important day is truely remarkable. It was out having fun taking photo’s with you that all the stresses of the world and of the day were dissolved. Your zest for life and having fun is indescribable YOU ROCKED THE HOUSE!!! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos!! take care and I hope to see you in the future!!!!

Becky & Vicentiu's Wedding

The Romanians love me!

And I love them too! Had an awesome time and Becky and Vicentiu’s wedding, it was a little chilly earlier on in the day but this couple knew how to keep eachother warm. I was treated to a beautiful surprise during the ceremony when the Bride and Grooms sister’s and fiancé...

cornel m. - Great pictures! Never thought to a photo camera as to a time machine. You got it all. When you need to rewind time, just look at the photos…so real, so authentic. Great photographer and perfect subjects.

Chris - Beautifully captured, Bassem! As an aspiring photographer, I appreciated the effort you invested in the photos on the wedding day. You were uncompromising, from waiting for cars to pass before pressing the shutter, to never deleting a picture from your camera (just in case!). Your work displays great technical knowledge and experience, and you’re a tribute to the wedding photographers of KW (and of course Cambridge). I can only hope is to someday follow suit! Oh, and thanks for your helpful tips.

Sammy - Huh, you surprise me with every wedding you keep adding here, man. Great job, Bassem. You sure have an eye for great detail. You’re a great entertainer too, that’s what makes you the best.
The wedding was very nice! Becky and Vivi wish you all the best and God bless!

Anonymous - I must say, I am so impressed with you Bassem! Too bad I didn’t know you when my husband and I were married. you’ll be highly recommended to my children ;o) What I love most about your photos is that they really tell the story, and you feel like you are a part of the magical moments, somehow you managed to capture them in such a way as to really make us all FEEL the same expression and emotion(even those just looking at the pictures) that the people in your photos do. Becky and Vivi, you were so beautiful! Your day was blessed by God through and through. My fav. photo (it’s so hard) is the one with all the syblings hugging the bride & groom. AWESOME!
love Anca

Danny D - Hello! I like the pictures. The wedding was perfect. The food was excellent :) Everything was just right… from the volume of the music, to the chocolate fountain. I also can’t wait to see the rest of the photos! :)

Heather MacNeish - These photos are so gorgeous Becky! I especially like the black and white ones! I LOVE the way you wore your hair…so simple, yet sooo elegant! You were a gorgeous bride. I wish you both many years of happiness! I am so sad we missed out, but I do hope that maybe we can get together soon, and that you can come to our wedding in June:) Take care, and enjoy your honeymoon!

Lisa & Adrian's Wedding

Hey Gang,

I know it’s been a while since my last post and please forgive me; it’s been so crazy as of late. I was blessed to have met this wonderful couple and when Lisa told me she is a photo enthusiast that got me even more excited. A bride that loves pictures can only...

Anonymous - Since he was a little kid Adrian hated getting his picture taken. These are definitely the best shots we have of him. I think the sexy girl on his arm made him finally crack a smile.

I hope Monique and I look as good in our wedding photos. We are still looking at dates and venues. I’ll give you a call.

Anonymous - To our dear friends Adrian & Lisa,

What a beautiful day, what a beautiful couple, what a beautiful set of photographs! You too are truly a “model couple”!!! We loved being a part of your special day, and can’t wait to watch you unfold your future ahead.

Our wedding is coming up … after seeing his work, we’d love to consider your photographer!!!!

With love, Charlotte & Oliver

Anonymous - Hi Bassem,

We’d like to thank you again for Sunday. We had SUCH fun with you, and look forward to seeing the photos!

A lot of people (family and friends) kept commenting to us on how great you are (to which I replied, of course, “Yes, I know… that’s why we chose him. He’s awesome.”

We also had requests for your company contact info from people who are planning weddings in the next few years (and they haven’t even seen your work yet!!)

You really did feel like a part of our family, which made us feel even more comfortable having photos taken. I know that with your talent, and your personality, you will always be booked solid!

We had such a lovely evening talking about the wedding (I had a hard time getting to sleep because I kept thinking about the photos!) We also joked about how fast I ‘ran’ down the aisle… didn’t realize at the time, because I was pretty nervous about being in front of everyone! Adrian said that I’m the opposite of a ‘runaway’ bride; I’m a ‘run-to’ bride. Thanks for Everything Lisa
