When I started looking for my wedding vendors, I began my search for the right photographer since it was the highest priority for me. I got Jihan Abdalla's name from one of the wedding planners I met and called her right away. Out of the 3 photographers I called, Jihan called me back first (a good sign already). When my husband and I met with her, we knew she was the one right away. She was comfortable to talk to, and she really understood what kind of pictures I wanted. We did our engagement session with her first. She accompanied us (sitting in the backseat with my Mom and our two dogs!) 45 minutes away to a beautiful location for our shoot. To say the least, the experience and the photographs were outstanding.

Our wedding experience was just as beautiful. She brought an assistant, who was equally great, and they were both with us from our dressing room through to the reception, without anyone even noticing them. Jihan grabbed us after the ceremony to catch the best lighting out on the beach and then swiftly got us back to our reception. When we got our photos, they blew us away. She used both color and black and white and asked that we choose some we wanted enhanced...there weren't any we wanted to change. They were all perfect! Even when I sent out our wedding gallery to our friends and family, I got more compliments on how nice the pictures were as opposed to what the pictures were of!

I am someone who swears by reading reviews before I purchase something or hire someone...I highly recommend Jihan Abdalla.
