The Swan House Atlanta History Center | Mona + Saleem – Moreland Photography

When Mona and Saleem met at a mutual friend’s engagement party in 2008, their lives changed forever. Fast forward to October 12, 2013 when the beautiful multicultural couple tied the knot at the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center! This amazing historical wedding venue was built in the 1920s and was recently the featured backdrop to the film Catching Fire, the much anticipated Hunger Games sequel! Their wedding was a five day process to incorporate all the beautiful and colorful traditions of a true Pakistani wedding! Everyday was a delight to be a part of as we photographed the celebrations!  Because of all the separate events, Mona had this to say about all her many vendors:

“I would like to recognize the amazing work of the staff from Moreland Photography. They are great to work with and capture amazing shots! Thanks for making each event exceptional!!!! I highly recommend them! Also, I would like to recommend the Atlanta History Center/Swan House, A Divine Event Catering and Design Studio, Lethal rhythms DJ’s (DJ Binnie), DJ Jazz (Jazmeet), 1001 Persian Nights Restaurant, Paul Wages Videography, Sushma Patel at 5th Seasons Decor, Ashiana Restaurant and Banquet Hall, and Saffron Kitchen and Banquet Hall. I used Etsy.com a lot for gifts and weddings essentials such as gift card boxes, guest book canvas, and ribbon wands. Not to mention all the ideas with the help of Pinterest.com! A huge thank you to all!”

Of course we have a lovely long blog post of picture waiting for you! Enjoy! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Ali! Congratulations on your happy marriage!! Let’s begin with the beautiful images from your Henna ceremony!
