Neetu & Preet Part II : Reception at the Hyatt Regency Long Island

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

 

East meets West (as in NYC and LA) at this one of a kind reception at the Hyatt Regency in Long Island New York. Neetu and Preet put together an amazing event with the help of  The Design House . Special thanks goes out to Hasina from The Design House who kept this massive event streamlined and seamless. Without their help it this 500+ guest event would have been far to much to handle! All the little details really made this event unique – we loved the tables were given names of areas in LA and NY rather than numbers! Very cool. The decor, centerpieces and stage all complimented Neetu’s outfit, without making it look too monotone. Preet did an amazing job with the engagement and weddings rings, I had to put up 2 photos. Check out the pics below!

We had our photo booth out at this event and wow the guests really went crazy inside! The largest group was more than 15 people! If you have the password, check out the photo booth pics.

10.2.10 Mahrukh and Zain – Married at The Shadowbrook NJ

Monday, October 18th, 2010

After a full week of on and off rain, thunderstorms and unusually chilly weather, the big day finally came. Mahrukh and Zain’s wedding day was here, and it was absolutely perfect! You could not ask for a better day.

We started bright and early meeting the bride to be at her hotel for hair and make-up. Malti Sompura was on site doing an amazing job air brushing make-up that looks wonderful on camera. We have worked with her previously at Dipali and Jay’s Mehndi event, and as you can see, the results are really good.

After the bride was all set, we made our way to The Shadowbrook for a quick portrait session prior to the ceremony. The Shadowbrook is very well kept and there were plenty of great spots for photos, even with another wedding going on. The ceremony itself was beautiful, and the reception that followed brought everyone back in to party mode. We feel so great to have had the privilege of working with Mahrukh and Zain, and hope our photos provide their families with  memories that will last forever.

One thing is for sure, we have never seen a shoe theft and negotiations like this at any other wedding! Mahrukh’s sisters and cousins really play hard ball!

Mahrukh and Zain Mehndi at Akbar New Jersey

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

October 1st was the night that Zain and Mahrukh kicked off what turned out to be a very exciting wedding.  Their mehndi night was held at the Akbar Restaurant in Edison New Jersey. As guests started making their way in to the restaurant, we had a quick opportunity to take a few photos outisde during twilight. The sky was amazing, and we are so glad it did not rain!

After Zain and Mahrukh made their entrances, it seemed like just about every guest wanted to greet them on stage, and the couple must have ate at least 50 sweets each! Talk about a sugar rush! With the ceremony just about over, Dj Manan Shah from IEDJS got the party started, and kept it going til 1:00am! These folks love to dance! Please enjoy highlight photographs from their Mehndi.

08.28.10 Joyce and Robin’s Reception | New York Indian Wedding Photographer

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Just hours after an emotional wedding ceremony, Joyce and Robin made their way over the to The Vanderbilt at South Beach for their reception. The night was perfect, and the breeze by the beach allowed everyone to stay cool while all dressed up. The service at the Vanderbilt was great, all of the guests were warmly welcomed into the venue, the food and drinks were served constantly during the cocktail hour. While the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, Joyce and Robin were getting ready upstairs in the bridal suite for their grand entry. The speeches were hilarious, music was amazing, and we haven’t quite lost the weight from their excellent food just yet.  Joyce and Robin were a pleasure to work with, and one can only hope future clients would be so cool and easy to service.

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.

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:
