Dionne + Clive's Wedding: From Dubai to Salem, Oregon!
Hello! So I wanted to make my first official wedding blog post. I've decided that with my photography business I want to mainly gear it towards booking weddings. I love doing non-traditional weddings with natural lighting. *Absolute favorite*
Earlier this year I booked with Dionne and Clive to photograph their special day. Little did I know it would be one of the best weddings I've ever attended/photographed.
The wedding started out in Salem, OR where the Bride and Bridesmaids got ready at a cute little airbnb listing! Guests came from all over the world to attend this cute little wedding. Dionne & Clive are both from Dubai but now live in New York City.
“We actually met a long time ago in School and have been keeping in touch ever since. We tried a long distance relationship from Oregon to Dubai for a while (a lot of late night Skype calls and Whatsapp messages) and with the time difference it was really tough! Six months later I moved to the U.S. and was finally able to be with Clive and have our happily ever after. ”

Inspiration behind the day: They wanted a fun wedding that represented who they are as people. So whenever the guests said it was the most fun wedding that they've ever been to Dionne & Clive said it was well worth all of the planning!
