This love between you two? This love that led you to feel not just ready — but excited — to share vows in front of friends of family? This love that made everything click? 

It tops the list. This is it, and it couldn’t be better.

PALOS VERDES WEDDING | MALAGA COVE, CALIFORNIA

malaga cove wedding photos

Shiva and Hakha had a traditional Iranian engagement ceremony in Palos Verdes, CA.

After being together for 7 years Shiva and Hakha are finally engaged! They moved here together from Iran to go to graduate school, and plan on having a big wedding back home with their families. We took some photos at Malaga Cove before heading to Hakha’s family’s home for a traditional Iranian engagement ceremony. I loved all delicate details and sweet moments between Shiva and Hakha. I wish them the best for their future together!
