One word that often rings true when it comes to weddings is this: Tradition. Weddings are moments where cultural and family traditions are forged or reinforced. And for Aida and Betre, they blended American traditions with Ethiopian traditions in a way that honored both cultures well. As wedding photographers, we have the pleasure of photographing the weddings of couples from countries all across the globe, but the Ethiopian weddings are unique. There’s an air of history that steeps from their wedding ceremony and also an incredible sense of pride in their wedding garments, which make them look kings and queens. Aida and Betre met back when they were in college, and over the last 10 years of their courtship, they’ve gotten to know each other on a level that made marriage a natural next step for them.
From the moment we met them we thought how amazing they were and lucky us we got to be a part of their big day! We want to thank Aida and Betre for choosing Judah Avenue to be their wedding photographers for their big day and we wish them an everlasting lifetime of happiness, love and prosperity. Please enjoy the photos from Aida and Betre’s matrimonial day below.
