Harinder & Jatinder got engaged a few week ago and we were there to document their beautiful engagement ceremony. Here are some of my favorite images from the day. Brides-to-be, pay extra attention to the last couple of images to see what great color lighting can add to your decor & images in general on your day.

Continuing on with Ayesha & Malik’s wedding festivities, here are some of my favorite images from their wedding day..

Venue: Payal Banquet Hall

Decor: Far East Wedding Decor



I was in love with Ayesha’s wedding lehenga. The color was so unique, yet so timeless.















The shoe stealing ceremony.. always SO much fun!!


For the photo session we literally only had a very small bridal suite to work with. But with some off camera lighting and 2 newly married & very beautiful people it turned out to be a great mini-photo session.
