San Francisco Backyard Wedding: Ana + Vedran

Ana & Vedran had a gorgeous celebration of their love in the perfect little backyard of their home in my favorite city, San Francisco. It was a beautiful day for a wedding, not too hot, not to cold. Ana put together this celebration in a very short time, yet she incorporated beautiful details for personalized decor. I loved the purple accents, simple yet elegant linens for the cocktail tables really dressed up the backyard.

We took a short ride to the Palace of Fine Arts for some shots. Little did we know that we had an awesome photo-op waiting for us there! Fire fighters from San Francisco Station 38 was driving by and they offered Ana & Vedran to use the fire truck for the photos. We totally jumped into the offer and got some fun shots of the bride and groom and the bridal party. I love how unexpected events like this happen and can make a day that much more memorable! I know that I will remember this for many many years to come, and Ana & Vedran sure will think of this surprise opportunity every time they see the images.

Ana & Vedran – I was so happy to be there with you, witnessing your joy and tears alongside your family. I wish you both the very best in your exciting adventure ahead…

Enjoy some of the highlights from the day.

Expecting Arti: Folsom Maternity Photographer

I have been waiting to post these for a long time, finally, they are up on the blog. I was in LOVE with how they turned out. Gorgeous Arti and excited daddy-to-be Vikram had some fun during their maternity session. Vikram is a big Lakers fan. They could not NOT have a Lakers bib for their little one. Arti was glowing, as you can see. I can’t wait to see their newborn in coming weeks. Enjoy these images for now.

South Indian Hindu Wedding – Nandini + Reetesh: Sacramento Wedding Photographer

I’m so excited to finally blog about this wedding I photographed right after Thanksgiving last year. This was my first Hindu wedding photographing, I was so looking forward to the cultural boost. Nandini and Reetsh had a colorful South Indian wedding at Hilton Fremont. The groom arrived on a horse and the groom’s family danced the way to the hotel where bride’s family gave a traditional reception to them. Nandini had two different outfit during the ceremony. And the groom, Reetesh, was dressed in North Indian style groom’s attire. The wedding Mandap was adorned with rustic orange roses. Fall colors made the event even brighter and more festive.

Nandini was gorgeous as a traditional South Indain bride. I loved the garlands Nandini’s mother made for the bride and groom to exchange. Such personal touches make a ceremony like this even more meaningful. After teh ceremony and quick prayers with parents, bride and groom were off to getting ready for the reception. We had very little time between the two events to capture a few lovely shots of the newlyweds.
