Love knows no boundaries, and that was proven true by Alyssa and Fayaz, whose paths crossed during their time at McMaster University. They were introduced to each other by mutual friends, and as fate would have it, their love story began. Both Alyssa and Fayaz come from Indian and Muslim backgrounds, but their different branches of Islam did not stop them from coming together and having a beautiful wedding celebration that combined their cultural and religious traditions. They had three days of wedding events, including a Sangeet, an Ismaili Nikkah at the Scarborough Jamaatkhana, and finally, the Ishnasheri Nikkah and wedding reception combined at Deer Creek. It was a stunning celebration filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments captured by the talented lens of Photography by Azra.
