If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired.-Chekhov Just as Checkov envisioned, the nerf dart launchers that were featured among the groomsmen at the beginning of the wedding day had become a dance hazard by the reception; bridesmaids dodging sucker-tipped darts across the dance floor.

Sometimes I am a part of multiple days of events, and occasionally only for portraits, but I’m always thrilled to document joyous celebrations of family, laughter, and dancing. If you are planning a wedding that ties into your Ethiopian culture, I’d love to talk with you about your photography.
