Hello everyone.  Hope the new year is bringing you all much happiness and success!  Today, I bring you an E-session for Pratik and Manisha.  A few months back, Manisha contacted me and claimed to be one of my avid stalkers (my photography, not me personally), and how she wanted to get an engagement session done like all the other pretty folks on my site.  Of course I was more than happy to oblige.  We met, had some coffee, skyped with Pratik, and planned to do an E-session.  Problem is, Pratik lives in the great state of New Jersey, so scheduling just wasn’t working out.  For a while, it looked like it was just not going to work out, which was a bummer, because I really liked these two, and wanted to get them some dope pics.  Last month, Pratik randomly called me up that he was in town for the weekend, and luckily, I didn’t have another shoot… so this time, we were going to make it happen.  Manisha really liked some of my old bamboo shots, so we went down to Duke Gardens and did our thing.  These two are very natural in front of the camera, and I hardly had to give any directions.  I guess when you got it, you got it.  So without further ado, scroll below to see some of the pics.

Howdy folks! Today I am delighted to bring you a double dose of photos, a Mehndi and a Wedding. This was my last event of 2012, and boy was it spectacular. I have to say, in all of the Mehndhis and Wedding’s I’ve covered, this one was by far the most elegant one I’ve shot. I was blown away at how beautiful the decor was at both events. The mehndi was vibrant and colorful, while the wedding was elegant and beautiful. The small touches like hand shaped cookies with frosting, or having a real life artist painting the scene added that extra bit of awesome to the event. Bushra and her planner definitely spent time to plan all this out, and she’s a rebel for thinking outside the box. I mean she came into her mehndi in a ferrari scooter, how cool is that? I had a lot of fun covering both the events. I can sit here and talk all day about how awesome the event was, and how good both of them looked, or how emotional some of the moments were… but I rather let the pictures do the talking for me. So without further ado, please enjoy the slideshow below. For those of you without flash support (ie apple products), I’ve also posted a few of the images below.

“henna” hand cookies!  How cool is that?!

Congratulations Again Bushra & Sultan!

A special thanks to Caroline for coming down and doing an incredible job!

It’s a new year, and love is already in the air. Today, I bring you an engagement ceremony for my friend Gourang and his beautiful bride to be, Shuchi. I’ve known Gourang from the undergrad days in college, through several mutual friends. He’s a smart guy, so naturally, he’s doing big things these days… like starting his own company and working for big shots like Adobe. I met up with him a few weeks ago, and he informed me that he was getting engaged to the perfect girl. He told me that he was fortunate enough to meet Shuchi, a speech pathologist from St. Louis, and she was definitely The One.  Good news indeed! On top of that, he wanted me to cover the engagement ceremony, since you know… it’s sort of my specialty. Of course, being a good friend, I was happy to oblige. Long story short, we did a super quick outdoor session, and then covered the rest of the ceremony. Without further ado, I present you the images. Just a fair warning though, Shuchi has a killer smile… so view these images at your own risk! 😀

Congratulations again guys!
