Ava and Aaron's New Year's Eve wedding was one of the most fun celebrations I've ever photographed. They blended traditional elements with Ava's Persian heritage in a way that felt both elegant and deeply personal. The ceremony under the tooreh, with her sisters grinding sugar cones over their heads, was so moving. Then the reception turned into an absolute party—breakdancing guests, family dance-offs, and Ava going crowd surfing right after the midnight countdown. The whole day was about family, incredible Persian food, and celebrating these two as 2026 began.
