Sonia & Athar

In January, I was blessed with the opportunity of capturing moments at a Pakistani engagement party. Believe me when I say that this was much different than an American engagement party. The event was very fun, traditional, and absolutely beautiful.
Engagement ceremonies vary among families with different traditions but for this Pakistani couple it was a gathering that began with Sonia sitting and Athar was brought to come sit with her.  Friends and family brought gifts and many pictures were taken....many. haha. Then a ring was given to Sonia and Athar received a very nice watch. Afterward, everyone fed the couple extremely sweet desserts to start off their life with something sweet :)
