Naeem Khan’s spring 2019 bridal collection was one for the ages. After all, his rock n’ roll inspired line featured faux Mohawks, metallic sequined dresses, and beaded track suits—not exactly your typical lace strapless wedding look. And while this season’s collection was all about pushing the boundaries of what should be considered “bridal,” if you take a closer look at his dresses, you’ll find the signature Khan beading, embroidery, and attention to detail that has made him one of the most sought out designers in the wedding industry.

Thankfully, wedding photographer Heather Waraksa was backstage at Naeem Khan’s spring 2019 presentation to capture all of those behind-the-scenes moments and details you aren’t able to see in your standard runway images. Below, an exclusive backstage look at Khan’s beautiful and rebellious collection.
