Lisa and Hari :: 8.30.09

Finally! My last post for August, Lisa and Hari's beautiful Hindu wedding. What a memorable day! The ceremony was amazing. I was invited to be up close for the entire ceremony, which afforded some really great angles! The Hindu ceremony is a lengthy one complete with a change of dress for Lisa, from a green saree to a red one, to help signify her becoming a married woman. Oh and the details! Rings, necklaces, foods on the altar, fire... I could go on. And to top it off, Lisa got to change into a third gown for the reception. I was like a kid in a candy store- so much deliciousness! Seriously though, it was one of the more beautiful weddings I've photographed. Lisa and Hari were just so, so happy to be married. And that was the most beautiful part of all. :)

They had their musician friends play at their reception. What a fun idea!



Lisa is a music therapist.... she sang for Hari- "So this is love." Sooo romantic!

Jaime and Mike :: 8.29.09

Jaime and Mike... where do I begin?? It was amazing to witness your wedding. You two are so obviously head over heels in love with each other- you made my job easy! There were so many beautiful things to see and photograph... fun details, hilarious bridal party (laughing while keeping still with a camera is harder than you'd think!), joyful tears and a happy bride and groom to round everything out. I know I've said it before, but I adore my job. Weddings like this make me so very thankful that I'm blessed to be a photographer. :)




Jaime, you're gorgeous!!





First look- always one of my fave moments of the day...
