More photos from old rolls, including this double exposure which is the only photo I really remember taking from this roll. I was going through a pretty deep depression at the time. Part of me getting out of that space involved just going out and taking photos. It worked in a way but I definitely should've gotten them developed sooner.

Found some rolls of 120 film I neglected to develop for about 2 years. I lucked out and there's a few photos I'm really happy with, including these. I'm not sure who the riders are but this was at @mullalybikepark in 2019

after a heartbreaking miscarriage that shattered our world last year, you can imagine our surprise hearing "we've found two heartbeats"
alhamdulilah always always always
thank you to our friends and family for holding this news close for many months. there are even more reactions than in this video and many of you we tried telling but didn't get the chance to. so here is a glimpse into what life has become, an abundance of love.
all roads leading us to these two
1 year of being married 8 years as the love of my life superpost! The world is a better place bc they're in it, so you could imagine how their love as affected my life since meeting outside cubbyhole 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
the best day 💍
the unused bubbles from the engagement party
the bouquet from Zen that tickled the white shoes bought just that morning
dan running to our rescue right as the clock went from fashionably late to oh shit
non alcoholic cider thoughtfully packed for the toast
putting on our full wedding outfits the night before and having a midnight first look
a room full of brides at city hall
little matthew in a pokemon shirt
red lipstick everywhere
Alexa is the first person I hug, Dan is the first person Melo hugs - we all hug and hug and hug our way out of city hall through rows of heart balloons still swaying from Valentine's day that had just passed
Thank you 100000000000000 times over to our sweet families on this day. Everyone played a part in making this moment so unbelievably magical. Soaking in the newlywed bliss by reliving it all in these photos.

In 2017, on February 20th, the world grew quiet and it was just us and love. In 2024, on the very same day, this happened once again.
Only four people were allowed in the room.
My mom held the camcorder, like she did when I was growing up and dreaming about true love and fairytales. My mother in law, held my hand all throughout the engagement to our wedding, guiding us through the big world of registries and veils and paperwork.
Our fathers set a blueprint for love, a foundation of respect and commitment.
A fifth person was in the room (very much by the grace of Allah) an exception was made. One sibling watched us get married. Our sister, Sarah.
I'll be honest - I was not feeling myself on this day. The attention. The rush and pressure of trying to get everything right. Melo & I were as dazzled as we were frazzled, running (liiterally) late (of course) to city hall with a butterfly garden in our stomachs. But, Sarah grounded us both, ready with the camera from the second we were down the block. Every treasured memory from that day is in those photos, and we find ourselves so blessed beyond belief to watch our day back from the eyes of someone who loves us and that we love, so much. My father in law once told me that when you get married, the biggest surprise is how fast your wedding day goes by. Grateful for the chance to have that whirlwind of love, captured.

Some film photos from the @fosterbikepark 2023 classic jam. I didn't get anyone's info so tag ppl if you see them! Big love for this park and the folks who run it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey people we love in our phones 👋🏼
Just wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU for all of your heartfelt well wishes, gifts, and love.
We are still fully swooning, holding tight this beautiful feeling. Celebrating our other halves upcoming marriage this past week was magic. Passing the bridal baton to @toninhe_ and @alexalynn530 is the perfect beginning to this chapter of newlywed bliss.
These days, our hearts while full of gratitude are keenly aware of the losses occuring during these celebrations. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you thank you thank you for contributing to our beloved @shaksrx16 's f- ndrsaiser in lieu of traditional gifts. The Shakshak fam is so much closer to the goal that will allow them to evacuate safely and receive medical treatment. Their link will remain in our profiles until their goal is finally reached! 🤍
Rayeed's health along with that of his family has continued to deteriorate but their hope remains intact. You made a tremendous difference and in your generosity you solidify our belief that we are all a part of one big family. No one ever gets left behind. We thank you eternally for the chance to use our wedding day as a platform for something as great as the love we feel for each other and all of you.

Somewhere on cloud nine, we are floating around in pure bliss reminiscing on the beautiful day we shared yesterday with our parents and siblings. We are married!!! Wow!
So grateful to our wonderful family, to those who made our day perfect like @studio__mariposa@reemamiofficial@deerah.co@tanoreen@bodega_cakes@curlupnyc_@j_styleshair@artxhair@hindhilal , to Jacquelíne at the courthouse who bended the rules to let in our whole family because "we were all too cute and too many to say no to", and to God for a day that felt like a grandparent's prayer come to life.
Though our initial plan was to have a giant Palestinian Portuguese Latino celebration, this felt wrong in the face of the genocide being faced by those in Gaza. Downsizing our event turned out to be a major blessing- like walking away from my "dream dress" in favor of a custom creation that was better than anything I could've ever dreamed up.
We are very grateful to receive gifts from our immediate family, cousins, tias, and uncles-
and we send our sincere gratitude to those who have been asking about where to send gifts. With love, we have decided we will not be publicly sharing our registry. We could fill our home with new silverware or a vacuum but really, there is nothing in this world we need more than the safety of our friends. My dear friend Rayeed and his family are close to their goal which will enable them to leave Gaza and pursue the medical treatment they need. We humbly request that in lieu of gifts, donations please be sent to the Shakshak family's fundraiser which you can find in my bio.
