Vijay and Bincy – Engaged in New Jersey

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

These days, engagements are celebrated like mini weddings. A few weeks back we had the privilege of photographing Deacon Vijay and Bincy’s engagement at the Milan Banquet Hall in Garfield New Jersey. We first ran into Deacon Vijay at a previous event (Joyce and Robin’s Wedding) where he was participating in the ceremony. After seeing how we work, and some of our photos on the blog and facebook, he contacted us for his engagement.

I knew this event was going to be big, because…well let’s face it…we have huge families. The venue is a bit limited when it comes to shooting locations, and the outside doesn’t really provide much so we had to improvise. Deacon Vijay and Bincy were adventerous (or crazy) enough to actually listen to our suggestions, some how we ended up climbing out of a window and onto a roof top for a quick shoot. I don’t know why they agreed, but we are sure glad that they did.

When you have a team of 2 photographers, they can quickly set up off camera lighting and get more dramatic images faster. We had very little time to get our shots in, but working as a team we were able to stay on schedule (no Indian Standard Time) and still have creative results. Please enjoy these photos from Deacon Vijay and Bincy’s engagement.

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.
