Lebanese Wedding Celebration at Domaine de Zekrit

Photographing this wedding at Domaine de Zekrit let me experience a Lebanese celebration where family, tradition, design, and incredible energy came together in one day. The gallery begins with the details and preparations, then moves into the ceremony and the much larger evening celebration that followed.

Getting ready offered some of the day's quieter moments, with time for the couple, family, and friends before everyone gathered for the ceremony. From there, the pace changed quickly as the celebration moved outdoors and the guest experience became a much bigger part of the photographs.

The reception transformed the venue through florals, lighting, tablescapes, entertainment, and production. What began in daylight gradually became a completely different environment after dark, allowing me to move between the scale of the design and the reactions, conversations, and spontaneous moments happening within it.

By the time the party was fully underway, the photographs had shifted again, from formal details and ceremonial moments to performances, movement, and the energy of a Lebanese wedding celebration at night. That progression is what gives this gallery its character.
