story 001 — douma, lebanon

a wedding in douma

One day, four kinds of light. From an empty room at six a.m. to a dance floor at midnight — this is the whole thing, in order.

001

getting ready

06:10 — 08:40
Bride preparing, early morning light
The dress, hung and waiting by the window
Final adjustments before leaving the room

The only part of the day nobody else sees. No direction given — just staying out of the way with a long lens.

002

the ceremony

17:00 — 18:30
The couple at golden hour, just after the ceremony

Golden hour was scheduled, not lucky — the ceremony time got moved forty minutes to land here.

003

the reception

19:30 — 21:00
String lights coming on over the tables at dusk
The venue against a blue-hour sky
Silhouette against the twilight sky at blue hour

Blue hour buys about twelve minutes. Worth planning the table shots around it.

004

last dance

23:40
The dance floor, late, lit only by the venue

No flash on the floor — the venue lighting did the work. This is the frame every couple asks for first.
