afghan wedding by joy marie | maryam + ajmal | virginia wedding photography

Maryam & Ajmal are two very special people….so kindhearted & generous!! I was so excited to be there to capture their traditional Afghan wedding in Falls Church, Virginia. You don’t have to speak Farsi to appreciate the rich traditions of their wedding, and the love & respect these two have for their families and their community. In lieu of wedding gifts, they asked their guests to make a donation towards helping the neediest people in their native homeland of Afghanistan. They ended up sending over $9,000 back to Afghanistan! So amazing! I had a great time with these two and their families!! Congratulations, Maryam & Ajmal!
