This wedding was so sweet & special. When Aram and I went to dinner with Raffi & Na’ama in Davis where they met, we talked about what was going to be the most important thing to them on their wedding day. After talking awhile I came to the conclusion that they wanted to be present, be in the moment and not be stressed on timeline stuff! So they kept it super simple, no traditional tosses or cake & they had a first look so we took most of the photos before the ceremony even started. I think this was a great choice for them because when the day arrived and they were able to rest in our timeline you could tell that they were able to be present and experience their wedding day.
They had so many friends and family attend from near to far. The had some relative come from Israel. They had a beautiful Jewish ceremony and had close friends and relative read blessings to them. Raffi at one point during the ceremony was holding the Bouquet for an extra long amount of time, it made us giggle. Their ceremony was emotional a few tears were shed. They sure love each other and they push & support each other as they grow their careers. It was a perfect day! Although you might not know that is was 101 degrees in Sunol that day almost hot a record for the heat, there was limited shade too but that didn’t stop us from getting great photos & having a great time!
Congrats Raffi & Na’ama we love you!
