08.28.10 Joyce and Robin’s Wedding | Indian Orthodox Wedding Photography

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

It was just about a year ago when I met Joyce and Robin for the first time. They are a photographer’s favorite type of client, booking just about 1 year in advance and having most of their details planned out. Now, we have done our share of South Asian weddings, but never have we photographed a ceremony where the couple followed the Orthodox Christian religion. Joyce was kind enough to break down all the specifics on the religious and cultural sides of the wedding, and even shared some photos from her relative’s weddings. After doing some research on our own, we felt confident that we can provide a quality service that will cover all their needs.

The lovely couple and their party of 12 started the day with a photo shoot at the Chinese Botanical Garden located within Snug Harbor in Staten Island, New York. You could not ask for a better day, the sun was shining and there was no humidity. All of the bridesmaids and groomsmen were so easy to work with! They were a lot of fun, and often we’d have a hard time not laughing at all of their silly jokes and antics.

After the shoot our photography teams separated, and went Robin and Joyce’s home to photograph the prayer ceremony (and to inhale lunch). Immediately following, we all met up at Greek Orthodox Church for the wedding. This was quite an experience for our team. Check out the lovely photos of this Greek Orthodox Indian Wedding in New York.

08.22.10 Bhumi’s Sweet 16 | New Jersey Photography

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Now for something a little different. Last weekend we had the pleasure of shooting a Sweet 16. Wow, how nice was this for a change! Indian weddings are a lot of fun, but are also very intensive and stressful, this Sweet 16 was a fun, relaxing event.

Bhumi had a very large Sweet 16 held at the New Cliton Manor with about 300 guests. She had come by a few weeks earlier for a pre-shoot, we used those images on a poster board for all her friends to sign and leave fun messages. The pre-shoot was held in Nutley, NJ under the shade of a large tree shielding us from the summer sun. Music was provided by Dj Kevin Bhatt, from SAX Entertainment. He also provided the music to Ambrish and Nirali’s wedding and Reception a few weeks back. Her party had plenty of fun dance performances and touching moments while she dedicated her candles to her beloved family and friends.  They grow up so fast…

08.01.10 Samir and Elizabeth tie the knot! | Dumbo Brooklyn Wedding Photography

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Dumbo. Yep, that’s what they call it. It’s the little area Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. I learn something new everyday. Sam and Liz are a very cool couple that tied the knot at the very hip Bubby’s Pie Restaurant in Brooklyn. These were my old stomping grounds back in college, it was good to be back. The area is full of life and character, just like this awesome couple. Both of them are very cool, mellow people…, and it’s usually those type that end up surprising you by swinging on chandeliers by the end of the night. The day started off bright early with hair and make up with the help of Eric Canarick and Paul J. DeVito, and then over to the park for some photos. The area between the bridges is lovely, it’s too bad we had a very gray day due to expected rain, but we made the best of it! The wedding and reception was held indoors. This was the first wedding we have ever photographed where the bride and groom cut a pie instead of a cake, and wow the pie was really good! Both families were a delight to work with, you could really see the joy in everyone faces as Sam and Liz became one. This was one beautiful wedding. Congrats guys!

07.24.10 Nirali and Ambrish Reception| Indian Wedding Photographer

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

After a very loud and crazy baraat ceremony, emotional wedding, and very yummy lunch (yes, photographers eat too!) it was finally time to pump up the music and hit the dance floor. Nirali and Ambrish changed outfits and came back to Rasoi III for a night they will never forget. As the evening progressed, the sky started to darken and the sun setting allowed Rasoi to be illuminated with a warm, golden light. The bar was officially open and the party began. DJ Prophecy from SAX Entertainment provided music entertainment that kept the crowd partying until the very last minute. A good DJ is very important to any wedding, without good music, you won’t have fun. I love photographing a fun loving crowd, and Kevin Bhatt made sure the guests were having a great time. Enough with the chatter, here are some images from Nirali and Ambrish’s Indian wedding reception:

07.24.10 Nirali and Ambrish Wedding | Indian Wedding Photography New Jersey

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Isn’t it great when a friend gets married? Last week our good friend Ambrish took the plunge and marriend Nirali at the recently opened Rasoi III in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey. We have been her a few times in the past, it looks like we will be here a lot next year.

Nirali started her morning getting hair and make up done with her friends and family. It really doesn’t hit you until you start putting on your wedding attire that the big day is actually here, and in just a few hours you will be married! The Baraat Ceremony started bright and early, and even at 9:00am, Indian people are ready to party. Their wedding was held inside the main hall. Enjoy these Indian wedding photos.
