Destination Wedding | Egyptian Wedding in Cairo

Filed under: Cairo, Destination Weddings — Tags: — Catherine @ 10:07 am

I’m back from photographing a fantastic Egyptian wedding in Cairo…… although sadly the couple have chosen not to have their wedding photographs displayed online for privacy reasons. I met the couple in London and she explained that they were both going home to get married in Cairo and were having a typical Egyptian wedding. Due to religious and privacy reasons, she was very keen on how I work, a female photographer working alone, so that she could feel totally at ease during the preparation stages. As the wedding plans progressed, I became more and more excited at the prospect of photographing a wedding that sounded like a photographer’s paradise, including belly dancers! Having worked alone in foreign countries before, I wasn’t too concerned about going it alone and I got the opportunity to practice some of my Arabic which I’m currently studying at uni.

Huge congratulations, and wishing you every happiness together.

Destination Wedding | A Girl alone in Cairo

Filed under: Cairo, Destination Weddings, International Assignments — Catherine @ 9:49 pm

Tomorrow I am photographing my first destination wedding here in Cairo, and I’m excited and nervous all at once. I’ve spent the day walking around Cairo with a camel ride to the Pyramids. Tonight I am entertaining myself with a good book and a strawberry daiquiri before tomorrow’s fun begins. Good night all!
