Leen and Medhat

This beautiful young couple, Leen and Medhat, received an idea of a pre-wedding photo and video session with great enthusiasm. 

The idea behind the session was to show their outgoing, positive and creative personalities through a romantic setting of their engagement. After some meetings and discussions the script for the shoot was finalized, the props and outfits prepared, the locations chosen, and both the crew and the couple were looking forward to the photo shoot with great excitement and anticipation.

The session started at Bastakia, an Arabic tourist village in the old part of Dubai, where narrow streets with wind towers and ancient-looking doors offered plentiful photographic opportunities. Bastakia was followed by a ride on a small wooden Abra boat across Dubai creek – a ride that brought in much fun and a romantic rustic touch to the photographs. The photo session finished at a place that is like no other place in Dubai – an abandoned theme park where an eerie emptiness combined with cheerful bright colors provided a background that looked like a Hollywood movie set.

Not long after their engagement we were honored to document Leen and Medhat’s wedding. You may view their wedding highlights here.
