Farwah & Qasim Walima

I recently got a text message from Farwah explaining how thankful she is for the images. “You’ve left Qasim & I speechless. There are no words for how much we love them and how amazing we think your work is..Can I take this opportunity to say thank you for everything – you made our wedding reception extra extra special. You are such a talented individual and I really do wish you all the success in the future!”

This is why I love what I do! Here’s a selection of my favs from Farwah & Qasim’s wedding reception held at the Marriott Forest of Arden.

Sana & Asim Walima

Rima Darwash — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 12:39:04 +0000

Ok, here its is the final installment of Sana and Asim’s wedding events. Ive had the pleasure of shooting their engagement 2 years ago, pre wed functions, mehndi night, beautiful wedding, and this was the perfect finale. I loved the contemporary feel of this final event. Held at the newly opened Crowne Plaza Heythrop Park in Oxford; with a pallet of fresh pinks whites and silver, it was a totally different feel to their grand traditional wedding.

Sana and Asim had hired the awesome team from Amor Media Productions, and together had created a funny Bollywood inspired spoof pre-wed film trailer on how they had met. The film was showcased to an unsuspecting crowd; it even had me in stitches!

Sana & Asim Wedding

I loved everything about this wedding, the stunning venue, the beautiful red and gold colour palette, the eloquence of the whole day, topped by one of my favorite families I’ve had the pleasure of befriending. Ambreen was the make up artist who created Sana’s stunning dramatic eyes, Sana Safinaz (the Vera Wang of asian wedding dress designers) was the designer of Sana’s elegant dress, and I cannot forget to mention the awesome team from Amor Media Productions who had filmed the whole occasion on their dslr’s.

I would love to disclose the where abouts of this exotic venue, but as its someone’s private estate, and its exclusivity (they only allow up to 6 weddings a year) I will just let the images do the talking….

Thank you to both families I am humbled to have gotten the pleasure to know you and shoot all your events, and no doubt I shall remain in contact for years to come :)

Sana & Asim Mehndi

What a fantastic night Sana & Asim had for their joint mehndi evening. I just loved the choice of vibrant colours & detail. Sana looked ever so beautiful in her outfit, complimented by her choice of colours. Hair & Makeup done by Raj Dhillon.
Sana & Asim are blessed with great friends & family who made the event extra special with their amazingly choreographed sequence of dances. I loved every minute guys! The Jabba-wockeez inspired dancers were amazing! Whenever I hear the party rock anthem I always think of this night; great DJ skills by Haroon from Addictive DJs. Stage, decor & catering by Saffron Events.

Sana & Asim’s grand wedding to follow, for now I leave you with the mehndi night..

The importance of lighting

Rima Darwash — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 10:35:48 +0000

As a wedding photographer, I often get asked what is an important element when it comes to venue and room details? Here is a great example of how with the right investment of great lighting a room can be transformed..

Sana & Asim Civil Ceremony

Rima Darwash — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:41:03 +0000

What a gorgeous day it was for Sana and Asim’s registry in the heart of Stratford. I just love Sana’s details:- her flowers, her lace umbrella, her fabulous hair & makeup (done up by Arman Milind) and of course her Jimmy Choos! I got to say I have a soft spot for Sana and her family;- one of the nicest families I’ve ever met, and they welcomed me like one of their own.

As Sana’s mother was tearing up watching her baby girl all grown up and getting married I couldn’t help but to feel her emotions, yeah I’m a softie like that!

Sana And Asim you two make a fab couple, I wish you a happy and blessed marriage, thank you for letting me capture your special day ♥

- Wedding day as well as pre and post wedding celebrations images to follow!

Nisha & Sunny

I recently uploaded some images of Jimmy Choos on my fanpage and thought I should have a dedicated album to Mr Choo! Sunny had called me the night before to pick up a package to give to Nisha in the morning, and wanted me to photograph her reaction to a pair of Jimmy Choos. Here’s a selection of my favourites from the day.
