Iranian Wedding at Merrydale Manor, Cheshire
Oh my, one of my fave weddings I have photographed recently! Shima and Zach planned a spectacular wedding for their guests at the lovely Merrydale Manor in Cheshire, set on a beautiful landscape with a separate purpose built ceremony room and man cave!
Shima wore the most gorgeous dress, with delicate makeup and jewellery, and looked absolutely beautiful, even Zach cried through the ceremony.
A very emotional wedding, with family coming together from different cities in the UK, to table settings featuring different cities in Iran bringing all the guests together in so many ways.
I think one of my fave parts of this wedding was how elegant and timeless Shima and Zach kept their outfits and makeup.
After an emotional ceremony with Zach crying to the sound of piano keys awaiting his bride and so many guests in tears, with Shima telling him to make sure he kept his ring on always through the vows (haha!), the couple exited the Merrydale ceremony room with a sky full of confetti and sunshine.
We took some gorgeous wedding portraits around the grounds of Merrydale Manor to then join the guests for the Reception.
A common Iranian and Afghani wedding custom, is for the brides sisters and friends to dance with the wedding cake knife teasing the groom into giving them money, followed by the groom trying to snatch the knife to cut the cake.
The night finished with sparklers, a heavy dance floor filled with gorgeous outfits and dance moves, and lots of fun.
