Midtown Sacramento Engagement: Veronica + Rob

admin — Wed, 02 May 2012 23:40:02 +0000

It started at R15, about six years ago. Lots of memories were made since then – jokes, laughs and funny moments that brought this couple even closer over years. He popped the question high up in the air, literally. He planned a hot air balloon trip in Napa to bring out the ring and ask her to be his forever. She said “yes” and then, there was so looking back.

Six years later we met at R15 where it all started for them. They were sporting out uber cool outfits representing their love for baseball. The day way great, colors were vibrant and the couple was incredibly fun. They brought Thomas (their dog) along with them for the part of the shoot when we headed to Capitol park for the pictures. Veronica and Rob’s engagement session totally got me pumped up for their winery wedding in September. I had such a great time photographing the fun moments and love the couple shares. I can hardly wait to see how gorgeous they will be on her big day at the Old Sugar Mill!

Violet’s Birthday Portraits: Old Sacramento Children Photography

I still remember Amanda and Tim’s big day! I remember walking around the garden, capturing their special moments! A few years later, I got the opportunity to photograph their beautiful baby girl Violet. I was anxious about for this session, for one, I love making memories, and the second, I had only seen her pictures and couldn’t wait to meet miss little Violet in person! She was simply adorable with her big smiles, dimples and big wide eyes. And how could I miss those cute curls! She was a doll!

I had a great time catching up with Amanda and Tim while walking around Old Sacramento with them for Violet’s very first birthday portraits. I was reminded again why I do what I do. Like I said before, I love making memories, especially when I get the opportunity to document life as it evolves.

Happy First Birthday, Violet! You are beautiful and charming just like your parents are!

The joy of being a photographer is the ability to capture life as it evolves. From weddings to families and newborns; this opportunity is unmatchable.

I was anxious to meet baby Nathaniel from his day one. Finally we met on the day 9 for his newborn session. Katie and Sean, his proud parents, looked complete holding Nate in their arms. Nate’s eyes were wide open, as if he was taking in all the attention he could get at the time. I was so happy and thrilled to have captured Nate’s newborn photos that I hope his parents will cherish forever.

Engagement Photography at the Sacramento Capitol Park: Lucky + Dilpreet

admin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:25:04 +0000

A couple weekends ago Lucky and Dilpreet drove down to Sacramento for their engagement session. We have been planning this session for the past two months, but weather was delaying this from happening. Finally we met up and had a great time shooting around the Sacramento Capitol Park.

Lucky is extremely photogenic who I doesn’t knows how to take a bad picture. She was simply gorgeous and worked the camera. Not a bit of her nervousness shows through the pictures. Dilpreet was super supportive of her. I could certainly appreciate the man Lucky had in her life to carry her through the ups and downs. He was having fun, putting her at ease and simply bringing out the best in her. Lucky and Dilpreet were naturally beautiful.

Thank you, Lucky and Dilpreet, for coming down all the way for this session. I wish you two the very best for your upcoming wedding…I know you two will be fabulous on your wedding day…XO

Sacramento Wedding Photography: Avie + Vini Wedding Reception

admin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:25:57 +0000

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

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:33:22 +0000

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.

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

admin — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:26:49 +0000

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!

Gorgeous couples in love…

Old Folsom Engagement : Vini + Avie

admin — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 20:18:48 +0000

Meet Avie and Vini…an amazingly co0l couple who I had the pleasure of meeting last summer. It was a quick meeting before Vini headed back to Vancouver, we just talked about their wedding and their vision for photography. My second meeting with them was on their engagement session..just a couple days before their big day! It felt like we have been friends forever, was just picking up the pieces from where we left off.

We picked Old Folsom for their engagement session. The surrondings of Sutter street, the rainbow bridge. the cool vintage setting was just perfect for their personality. I had a great time knowing more about this down-to-earth couple. And I realized how FUN the next two days were going to be. Here’s just a few from their engagement session before their big wedding post show up. Enjoy the beauty…

Indian Wedding Reception: Raji + Rishi

admin — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:58:58 +0000

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
