Las Vegas Wedding Planner Andrea Eppolito. Photos by Nicole Hernandez.

Newly engaged Doctors Sameera and Zain celebrated their chosen love with a beautiful engagement shoot at Lake Las Vegas.

“In our culture, it is still very common to see arranged marriages,” Sameera explained. “Zain and I found one another and chose one another organically, and I think that needs to be celebrated and shared.”

And celebrate we will! While much of our wedding planning will include the families input, selecting a photographer was something that came very easily for Sameera. Having seen Nicole Hernandez’ work in my portfolio, she immediately fell in love with the way that Nicole captures emotion while balancing light and managing colors. With a decidedly “Vegas” wedding in the works, we wanted to showcase another side of the city for the couple’s engagement portraits. Both Sameera and Zain love the water, making Lake Las Vegas the perfect place to shoot. With glam services provided by Paper Bag Beauty, Nicole, Sameera, and Zain spent the day walking around the lake, exploring the village, and cuddling throughout the many architectural nooks around the community.

This beautiful couple will host a their wedding in the fall of 2023 at Resort World. With an emphasis on authentic food and a beautifully crafted atmosphere, this multi-day event will be infused with modern music, couture fashion, and exciting entertainment.

Please join me in helping them celebrate by leaving them a love note below.

Always…a
