Sandhya and Naresh’s Wedding
About 3 weeks ago I photographed Sandhya and Naresh’s wedding in Dallas and I have to say that they brought on style. The wedding took place at the DWF Hindu Temple with the reception at Dallas Renaissance Hotel with one of my favorite DJ’s.. drum roll for the man himself… DJ MAV. The wedding ceremony was fun and emotional at times, it has the perfect mix of style and elegance with their families there to celebrate and keep things fun. There are many images that are just awesome (shameless self promo here, I know….) but these images really stood out for me… So without further delay here are some of the images from Sandhya and Naresh’s wedding..
Rani Baweja putting the finishing touches on Sandhya’s hair. She did a great job with the make up, plus the chair she had Sandhya in looked VERY comfy.. LOL!!
The finishing touches being put on the make up, I don’t know why but I liked the texture of some fine art paper I bought so thought i’d try it here… I like it, gives the image a certain feel
Love the jewelry, the details in the dresses at indian weddings.

I don’t know the thoughts that were going through her mind but here Sandhya’s reaction shows how much she will miss her mom and dad.
The look she has in her eyes and the smiles on her parents face shows the tremendous amount of love shared between the three.
However when she looked at Naresh she was all smiles…
Here they are making the rounds of the agni, this is the 6th round, Naresh led Sandhya in the first 4.
I love shoes..
The couple departing for the reception.
The mehndi and the jewelry makes for some awesome detail shots.
The decoration at the hotel included some awesome flower settings.
Awesome cake as always from Elena’s Cakes..
The fruit tasted as good as it looks here.
More flowers!! They had tons of small personal touches to the reception that were just amazing.
The Ballroom looked awesome!!
Moncy (DJ MAV) added some uplights to provide accents on the wall
Right before the reception we sneaked away to do some couple portraits.
Sandhya and Naresh’s first dance..
Oh and yea these two really know how to dance..
I just love Sandhya’s smile during the toasts..
Sandhya and her dad during the father daughter dance. This is my absolute favorite shot!!
I can see where Sandhya gets her smile from.
So let’s say that one of the most amzing hotel in Dallas has this even more so amazing chandelier that is 4 stories tall? What do you do with it?
Well you take the amazing location and put in an equally amazing couple… then add in a bit of your own special touch.
Sandhya’s dad is a party animal, he was out there dancing and keeping up with the best of em.
I hate it when photographers just stand on the sidelines to photograph dancing. You just gotta get in there and dance with em.
I mean how else will you get this..
o this…
or this one…
Sandhya’s parents are walking her during the vidai (farewell) portion of the evening. Tons of emotions and tears during this part of the evening.
