The alluring notes of a mystical Iranian song seeped under the doors of the girls’ room at the Four Seasons. Through a crack, you could see women in every corner with lush, dark hair and beautifully bright eyes readying themselves for the wedding. Kat scurried to set the final details of the ceremony that she had been so involved in creating, and after she took a deep breath, sat in her makeup chair, and looked around, she started beaming with anticipation.

Down the hall, the boy she met and fell in love with at a Persian gathering, couldn’t wait to see his bride perfectly wrapped in white. His groomsmen “clanged” their glasses with loud excitement as different languages echoed across the room.

Omid’s parents and sister had traveled in from Iran. They looked around with such pride in their son and admiration for his sweetheart. Then Kat’s father saw his only baby girl, walking out to see her groom for the first time, and placed his hand over his heart. She was, indeed, a stunning sight to behold. With tears in every eye, he kissed her cheek and disappeared to the side so she and Omid could experience their first look.

So much love filled this wedding day. Laughter infiltrated every conversation and arms were constantly swirling in the air as guests danced for hours and enjoyed hookah in the shade.

Kat and Omid :: WE are still glowing from your wedding. Your family was so gracious and loving, and their kind words and care are something we’ll take with us forever. And you. YOU! You two are absolutely wonderful to be around, laugh with, take ridiculously awesome photos of, and call friends. We love you two!!!


I hope Kat felt like a celebrity all day, because she certainly looked like one.

Cutest flowergirl ever?

Omid was completely rested and sharp that morning! So handsome.

Kat and Omid decided to share in a first look. I remember the butterflies I had in my stomach as I walked out for my first look, and I still get butterflies watching my brides do the same. So special.

This image kills me. Is it weird that I want to put them over my fireplace? They. are. perfect.

The FLAWLESS makeup was done by our favorite, Ashley Nicole.

I caught them practicing their first dance because they were nervous. SO CUTE!

The traditional Persian ceremony was so detailed and intricate. It was wonderful to witness.

Huge thank you to Kelly from the Four Seasons who helped everything run so smoothly.

Parents, sisters… so much love and good-looking-ness.

These girls… AH! So stylish and gorgeous!! ALL OF THEM!

Omid’s dad throwin down his moves with everyone else!

XOXOXO!!!

We were PUMPED to kick off the new year with Kat and Omid’s engagement AND wedding! They’re outrageously beautiful, so much fun, and super in love. They were referred to us by the ULTRA talented makeup artist, Ashley Nicole, to whom we’re so grateful because we LOVE THESE TWO!

A HUGE thanks to Alexandra of AVE STYLES for styling this gorgeous duo, and Tempe Center for the Arts for letting us use their space!


Seriously? Her eyes slay me.

I may or may not have pressured them into giving me a date for their first child. I mean really… these genes need to get to work.

So, so, so, so, SO cute!

Celebrity look-alike? What do you think ;)

Omid probably stopped us 15 times to switch to his “good” side, which just made me crack up and love him even MORE!

I was OBSESSED with Kat’s sparkles, and what a cool backdrop to highlight them!

Their wedding will be up next, so be sure to check back!! XOXO!!!
