So last year we were referred by Anoli at Shaadi Story  to event planner Dharmi Shah of Evenings of Elegance to provide photography service on Memorial Day weekend wedding. Now, Memorial Day is a huge, HUGE wedding weekend for not just the Indian community, but in general.

We had 3 pending contracts for the date, but after meeting with the planner and getting details on the event, we were hoping they would sign immediately! The bride to be is the planner’s sister, so I knew this event would be amazing, well coordinated and full of meticulous detail. Dipali and Jay booked us to capture their awesome Indian wedding.

The mehndi night started the celebration on Friday, May 28th over at the Ramada in North Brunswick. Abhishek USA (no relation!) did the decor and created a nice, lounge type of environment with long beds and comfortable pillows on the floor. For music and lighting, Evenings of Elegance brought in Raaz Entertainment to keep the party moving. For Video, Anoli and her team at TheShaadiStory.com was brought in to cover the event. They also provided video service for Payal and Kunal’s Indian Wedding back in July. Food was catered by Ramada Inn’s Indian Catering Services, and we may have had more than 1 plate. Mehndi was applied to the bride by Malti Sompura and her team while the guests played a game of antakshari which lead to a full blown dandia raas! These families know how to party!
