Sacramento Wedding Photography: Avie + Vini Wedding Reception

Avie and Vini ended their 3 day long wedding festivities with a super fun wedding reception. Vini was dressed with crystal from top to bottom; every spec of her outfit had shiny crystals all over. The gorgeous couple graced the evening by walking in to the reception hall with a classic Indian movie song that I actually grew up listening to many many times. Fond memories rushed back to me right away!

Avie and Vini – I couldn’t be anuy happier for you. You two are incredible and I wish you a world of happiness ahead…

Many THANKS to Stacey Marsh, my new photographer friend, who help me photograph this wedding. Also to my husband for coming down to help me at the reception…I definitely needed that help

Sacramento Wedding Photography: Vini + Avie

Avie and Vini had a beautiful wedding at the West Sacramento Sikh Temple (Gurudwara). It was a fine winter morning, felt more like late fall. After the ceremony and traditional rituals were over, we found the coolest spot to take some photos of the newlyweds. Fall colored Willow tree, yellow leaves on the ground and the gorgeous couple, that’s everything we needed to produce some gorgeous images.

Avie and Vini are two incredibly nice people. For me, it was friendship at first sight! They are a perfect match made in heaven. There was no doubt that these two bring extreme joy to each others lives. My photographer friend Stacey and I had super fun time photographing this special day for this couple.

Gorgeous Indian Bride Vini: Roseville Wedding Photographer

Contemporary elegance, sophistication, beauty with a great taste, down to earth are just a few words to describe Vini. And her bridal look perfectly represented her style. I was honored to photograph Avie and Vini’s wedding last December. These are just a few from Vini’s early morning pre-ceremony getting ready session. Isn’t she gorgeous?

Highlights: 2011

This is beyond my belief that the year is over! Just a couple more hours to go, and we will step on to the new year of 2012. 2011 was eventful for me, in SO many ways. I have photographed only 7 weddings (the number I targetted) and numerous portrait sessions this year. I had the opportunity to meet so many incredibly nice people through this channel. I am extremely thankful for the kindness and love I have received. This experience continues to give me more than I ever imagined.

My website got a new look this year (by the amazing designers at Flosites), along with a new name and branding for my business. I have been introduced into the South Asian wedding community in the Sacramento area (and beyond). This is something new for me, I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying the cultural wedding flavors. I don’t know what awaits in 2012. I can only continue to improve my work, do better as I grow and be humbled by all the kindness I receive every day.

Here are some highlights of 2011. It was hard to put together just the favorites, ’cause the favorites only don’t complete my story. And the story I want to share involves many faces and hearts that made my 2011 so beautiful.

Here’s to a prosperous 2012.

Happy New Year!

Indian Wedding Reception: Raji + Rishi

Raji and Rishi had a Bollywood style reception at the Orchard Creek Lodge in Lincoln, CA. It was a completely different feel than the rest of the events. The couple celebrated the reception in style. Terrific music, mouth-watering food and incredible dance moves kept the night going until midnight. The couple had a lot of friends and families travelling from all over the world for this wedding. I realized how loved they both were by their relatives.

The night ended with a few tears (of joy) but the couple were left with lots of love and blessings by their families. My friend Chris and I got the final shots and called it a night. We were both so satisfyingly exhausted. The experience of this wedding cannot be put into words. I am so, so glad that I had this opportunity. I got to know Rishi and Raji pretty well over the course of photographing their wedding festivities. I came to know the families, their traditions, cultures, stories…and fell in love with the whole idea of photographing cultural weddings all over again. I have enjoyed these few days with the couple and I wished, like always, that the part of saying “good-bye” didn’t come so quickly.

Rishi and Raji – I wish you two a lifetime of happiness. It was a joy being a part of your memories. Have a fabulous life…XX
