 Nasim and Shek's wedding was a celebration of family, tradition, and culture as loved ones near and far joined the couple for a magical weekend at the Chateau de Varennes. The weekend was spent enjoying gourmet meals by a private chef, relaxing in the heated pool and experiencing a multi-cultural wedding that incorporated both Persian traditions and African dress. Beautiful photographs by Vinicius Matos artfully reveal acquaintances who have now become friends and strangers who are now each other's family, just as Nasim and Shek wished!
