In the trifecta of weddings that I did towards the end of the year with my good friend Kim Kinney of Timeless Elegance Weddings one was of AJ and Priya who I had photographed before twice for portrait session in Fort Worth and Dallas.

The event was small as compared to some of the events I am used to photographing and the pace was fairly relaxed and the atmosphere was very intimate. Lots of special moments that we captured including Priya’s dance with her brothers during the reception that brought everyone, including yours truly to tears..

The reception was at the amazing Four Seasons resort in Dallas and Timeless Elegance Weddings provided the decor and Melissa Lehman of Four Seasons helped take the event to the next level with her special touches. Here are the photos from the event…

To save this from being a super long post, I have divided it into two posts Sanjay’s hometown and Sneha’s hometown.  Their actual wedding took place in San Jose, California where Sneha and her her family are originally from.  If you have never been to San Jose, you definitely have to go out there at least once, the weather and view is absolutely amazing.

I had a blast working with Sneha and Sanjay the following weekend for their actual wedding, which took place at the Santa Clara Marriott.  Their wedding was filled with so much emotion by everyone who was there.

Some of their vendors that helped make their day even special were:

Anais Events (Amrit Dhillon-Bains) you can also check out her cool blog here http://www.shaadicurry.com/

Aurora Floral Design

Chhaya Govind (makeup artist)

I hope to work with all of these awesome vendors again, now without much delay, here are the photos





Before my trip to Pakistan, I had a series of wonderful weddings I photographed, one being Sneha and Sanjay’s. One thing unique about Sneha and Sanjay’s wedding is that since they are both from different states they celebrated their wedding events in both states so all of their events could be shared by their loved ones. The beginning of the events took place in South Carolina, where Sanjay is originally from and family currently lives.

Sanjay’s side of the celebrations took place at his home and the Greenville Convention Center.  I had a blast photographing their Satak and Ganesh Puja, their were so many great natural moments and each event was filled with much love.





So what do you do when you have access to some of the coolest decorations known to mankind at your disposal?  Well, you do what Karishma’s parents did for her wedding, create a wedding that boggles the mind and tantalizes the senses for all the guests and the couple.

The wedding took place at the Inter-Continental hotel in Houston and was an amazing event to photograph with some amazing decorations.  Karishma and her folks who own and operate Mandap Creations in Houston used a wide variety of elements to make the event unique.  A Rajhastani set for Karishma and Samir’s wedding ceremony to an amazing ice cake and decor that defies the mind were put together for the event.

Here are some of my favorite photos:





Let me start by saying “WOW.”

A few weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of photographing Chrisha and Vikie’s wedding in Houston.  Their wedding took place at the Hilton in downtown Houston and was of a circus theme. Chrisha and Vikie went above and beyond for their amazing wedding.  They hired a contortionist , aerialist, jugglers and even a dancer walking on stilts as multiple forms of entertainment for their Satak and Reception days.

However, their wedding was  filled with lots of love and  emotions from their friends and families.  I had an absolute great time working with both Chrisha and Vikie and getting to know both of them better.

Here’s a glimpse of their wedding:





A few weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of visiting Karishma and Samir in Fort Lauderdale to capture their E-session.  Let me just say, I am so jealous of the beautiful scenery and the beaches that Florida has.  Karishma and Samir got married on August the 1st at the in Houston.  I am super excited to work with the two of them again and see all my good friends at their wedding.

Come back to see their wedding pictures soon.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.





A few weeks ago, I photographed Anisa and Andrew’s E- Session at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. I had an awesome time working with the two of them. I actually have known Anisa for a while now, I met her at her sister, Nafisa’s wedding last year. It was a lot of fun working with their family again. Their wedding was about two weeks after their E-session. Stay tuned for the wedding pictures which will be up shortly.

Now onto the E-session pictures:





A few weeks ago, I photographed Chrisha and Vik’s E- Session at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. They were such a fun, laid back couple to work with. I am super excited to photograph their wedding this weekend.

Check back for their wedding pictures.

Without further ado, here’s their E-session:





Hey guys,

A few weeks ago, I had a blast photographing Priya and AJ’s E-session at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. These two were an awesome couple to work with and they enjoyed spending time with one another which made it easy for me to capture them. Their wedding takes place on November 28th of this year at Four Seasons Hotel in Las Colinas.  I am really looking forward to their big day.

Now on to their photos:





Vendors:

Mandap Creations

A few weeks ago I had the honor of photographing Kirtan and Trushyap’s wedding in Dallas.   Their entire event took place at the Hyatt Regency hotel in the DFW airport.  They had Mandap creations from Houston do the decor for the event and all prior events which took place at their home and at the GCS center in Grand Prairie. 

Kirtan and Trushayp’s wedding was a non-traditional/traditional hindu wedding.  Traditonal in the sense that it had all the joy and love of a normal hindu wedding with her and Trushyap’s families being honored and brought together by the rituals.   Non-Traditional in the sense that they did not have a reception but decided to spend the time with their families and friends that evening. 

Here is a small slideshow and then the link to their full gallery for you to view..

Without further ado, I hope you enjoy a glimpse of Kirtan and Tru’s wedding.
