04.10.10 – Nirali and Niket’s Reception

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Now that the wedding is officially over it’s time to cut loose!

After a long morning of preparations and an emotional wedding, Nirali & Niket were all set to celebrate for the first time as Husband and Wife! Their reception hall at the Princeton Hyatt was decorated by Elegant Affairs and light up by Dj Magic Mike. The cocktail hour (or two) took place in the atrium as well as the lobby outside the reception hall. There were 4 bars set up to keep the guest’s glasses full.

Nirali and Niket caught the guests off guard with a surprise first dance! After slow dancing for about a minute or so, the DJ cut the record and put on a classic wedding song, Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby Got Back! The dance floor was officially open and the party kept moving from the reception hall to the bridal suite for an after party. These guys were a blast to work with.

04.10.10 – Niket and Nirali’s Wedding

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Just a few hours after the sangeet was finished, and even less hours after the after party, Nirali & Niket were getting ready for their big day. Ronak and I spend the entire weekend at the Hyatt, having rooms when doing a longer event is very important, especially when you have laptops, cameras, batteries, stands, lights and a million other things that need attention.

We started the day bright and early, with Nirali getting her hair and make-up done, moving on to some formal couple shots, family photos and a few outdoor shots. Niket’s baraat was held outside at the roundabout behind the Hyatt. The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold, and once Dj Magic Mike came through with the music and live Dholi, the party officially started.

Moving into the venue, the team at Elegant Affairs did an amazing job in transforming a standard ballroom into a warm and comfortable environment. Once the couple was officially married the emotions began to run high. Here are some photos of Nirali & Niket’s wedding…

04.09.10 – Niket and Nirali Sangeet

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Sangeet and Garba events are tons of fun. Giving both families a bit of time to get to know one another is really great. It creates comfort and during the wedding everyone will already be buddy buddy. What can bring together families better than good food, amazing decor, exciting entertainment and a premium open bar? Well, the love between the two that are about to get married, but that is the obvious answer.

Nirali and Niket celebrated their Sangeet / Garba event on Friday, April 9th at the West Trenton Volunteer Fire House. The venue was well decorated with an Oriental Theme by Elegent Affairs. The vibe was set with amazing red up lighting, black and red table settings, hanging lanterns and metal ornaments. This is so not standard, and we love Niket and Nirali for doing something really cool and different. Indian weddings do get bland after a while, and this couple’s unique style made the entire weekend a blast.

Nirali and Niket got the party jumping by surprising all their guests with an energetic dance performance that brought everyone to the dance floor. They brought in talented Bhangra dancer to school the guests and get them ready to party the night away. Music was provided by the guys at www.Distinctivesoundz.com. Check out the pics!

09.19.09 Tejal and Nirav’s Engagement

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Wait, a boat? Italian gondola theme? When Nirav told me the story of how he proposed to Tejal, it all made sense. Nirav proposed marriage to Tejal while they were vacationing in Italy on a gondola, is that romantic or what?! Thanks for raising the bar! They celebrated their engagement at the Zembo Shrine in Pennsylvania. Prior to the engagement, the couple hosted a three hour tour, a three hour tour…(sorry for the Gilligan’s Island reference). The boat ride allowed the two families to get to know each other a bit, they played some games, had some food and chatted up a storm. The Zembo Shrine is an amazing venue. You could not ask for a better day. The sun was shining and the weather was just right. Going into the evening we were not ready for all the bright stars that filled the sky, coming from NJ/NY we don’t really get that so much. Take a look at their pics!

08.28.09 Richa and Nikhil’s Sangeet

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

I love it when clients show off our photos to their friends. I love it more when their friends book us for an event! On Friday, August 28th, we shot the Sangeet for Richa and Nikhil in Poughkeepsie, New York. Richa was a bridesmaid to Payal, who’s wedding we had the pleasure of shooting back in July. Richa and Nikhil had their venue decorated with really fun centerpieces that included awesome peacock feathers. Bangles were offered on a tray for all the pretty ladies that attended. Both families were really fun to shoot! The night was full of great food, fun dance performances and all the pre-wedding emotions you can expect the night before the big day! Although we did not have the honor or providing Richa and Nikhil with our Indian wedding photography services, we are sure they looked amazing on their wedding day!

07.25.09 – Payal and Kunal’s Reception

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

The sun was just setting and the party was about to start in celebration of Payal and Kunal’s wedding at the Sheraton in Mahwah,NJ. Before they went inside to party in the Grand Ball Room, the couple allowed us a little time to take some great ~~formal~~ shots in their reception outfit outdoors. The cocktail hour was stocked with a premium open bar, which remained open all night long. Dj Sharad was brought in to provide music, lighting, and huge LCD flat screens that over looked the guests who wined, dined, and partied like no body’s business!! Anoli and her team from ShaadiStory.com documented the event from begining to end. The party went into overtime when the venue opened up another room for after party, and then the after after party. Indian wedding photography is a breeze when working with such a cool couple. Take a look at our pics!
