” I can’t believe this is us.” Hanna and Turan said it all weekend long. At the Nikkah. On the Henna stage. Walking back down the aisle at The Camby. Every single time, they meant it. And honestly? We couldn’t believe how exquisite it all was either!! Completely elegant. Such an alluring wedding to witness.
Hanna Lalani and Turan Naimey celebrated over two days at The Camby in Phoenix. A Nikkah and Henna ceremony on October 10, then a traditional American wedding on October 11. Two traditions. Two families. One exquisite, elegant, alluring weekend that was completely them.
Ask Turan what he noticed first about Hanna, and it isn’t how she looks. It’s that she’s kind. Ask Hanna, and she’ll tell you Turan is funny. He made the first move, and he wasn’t nervous. Just excited to talk to her.
His “I’m gonna marry her” moment? When Hanna met his family. That tells you everything about these two. Their friends and family always talk about how dedicated and ambitious they both are. When it came to their wedding, all that dedication went straight to the people they love.
Guests were welcomed by a gold mirror lettered with Quran 30:21: “He placed between your hearts love and mercy.” It set the tone for the whole day.
Hanna wore deep green velvet covered in gold embroidery. Turan wore white. We photographed him signing the Nikkah with Hanna right beside him and their families close around them. Then the two of them took their place on the Henna stage, framed in white drapes, gold candelabras, and white roses. Pure glam.
The morning started in the suite with Hanna in her pearl robe and her girls in black, laughing on the bed like it was any other sleepover. Then Hanna held up her gown and grinned at the camera like she couldn’t wait one more minute. When she finally stepped into it, she gave it a twirl.
The colors were simple and so classic. Hanna in pure white. Her bridesmaids in plum. Turan and his groomsmen in black. White roses everywhere.
We took them all over The Camby for portraits: under the Camby sign, in front of the Yellowbell wall, at the big arched front doors, and on the grand staircase under the chandelier. The property gave us exquisite glam and elegant flare without ever leaving the wedding venue.
In their words, the ballroom is elegant and big. They were right. The ceremony had a candle-lit aisle lined with white petals, a draped white backdrop, and a crystal chandelier overhead. When they walked back up that aisle with their arms in the air, the whole room went with them.
We planned on drone coverage both days. The wind had other ideas. It was too strong to fly on Saturday or Sunday, so the team adjusted and kept moving. Hanna and Turan never had to think about it. That’s our job.
They made their grand entrance through an arched doorway with sparklers going on both sides. Hanna had her bouquet in the air before she was even through the door.
During speeches, Hanna held the mic and Turan held her hand to his face, completely overcome. They cut a white and gold cake under their HT monogram. Then came the first dance, and after that the dance floor never emptied. If their relationship has a theme song, it’s “Beauty and a Beat.” Because they both love young JB. Of course they do.
Turan wanted Hanna to feel like the most special girl in the world that day. Everything he did showed it. He wanted to make sure nothing was missed, and he wanted both of their families included in every part of it.
Hanna and Turan told us they hoped guests would enjoy every moment and feel good being part of their story. From where we stood, they did. This exquisite elegant wedding was one for the books. Next up for these two? Family hikes with the kids and their dog. We can’t wait.
