Malathy + Darish’s – Rosewater Supper Club Wedding Ceremony & Reception

admin — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 20:23:11 +0000

As promised here is part II of Malathy & Darish’s wedding day. Day II started at the King Edward Hotel for me where Malathy & her bridal party got ready & for Harp it started at Malathy & Darish’s place where the boys got ready, enjoyed the sun, played a little soccer & posed a little for Harp. Followed by their non-denominational wedding ceremony at the fabulous Rosewater Supper Club, after which while the wedding guests enjoyed the cocktail hour at the Rosewater, we rushed over to 1 King West Hotel & Residences with Malathy & Darish for their photoshoot. And here are just some of my favorite images from Day II..It was so hard to narrow down just a few images to blog today, so enjoy!

Happy Wednesday!

Every detail for the wedding was handpicked & chosen by Malathy. I was in LOVE with all the vintage details from her lace wedding dress, to the rings, shoes, etc..

While I shot the ceremony at the same level it was being held, Harp shot the entire ceremony from the balcony above, which provided him with some interesting angles & view points!

We didn’t have too much time for the photo shoot but we all worked quickly, while Harp did all the lighting set ups, I directed the shoot..& of course Malathy & Darish brought it ON at the photoshoot.

Father-Daughter dance..

While I shot the Father-Daughter dance, Harp took this shot of Malathy’s mom watching the dance… *LOVE*

You may remember Malathy & Darish & their vintage picnic engagement shoot from few months ago. Well they finally tied the knot over 2 days in 2 different wedding ceremonies. Day one was the Hindu Wedding Ceremony at the beautiful Sringeri Vidya Bharati Temple. And today we are oh so excited to be featuring their day one on the blog. I honestly cant find words to describe how beautiful the ceremony was & let’s not forget how STUNNING & radiating Malathy looked all day.. So I’ll let the images do the talking.. Happy Friday Everyone!

Don’t forget part II of this gorgeousness is coming next week with their ceremony & the reception at The Rosewater Supper Club & photo shoot at One King West Hotel.

Location – Compass Beach Point Resort

Happy Monday everyone! Again we are so excited to share Anita & Dhanu’s Rock that Dress session that we shot in Bahamas the day after their wedding day.. The concept of the shoot was simple! We wanted to create timeless romantic, nostalgic imagery, capturing this time in Anita & Dhanu’s life & the time they spent by the Love Beach in Bahamas..With that thought Happy Monday again!

Enjoy!

Anita’s gorgeous Badley Mischka shoes

Bahamas Destination Wedding – Anita + Dhanu ~ Part I

admin — Wed, 11 May 2011 16:23:44 +0000

Wedding Planner+Day of Coordinator – Horatio Smith

Ceremony Site – Love Beach by Compass Point Beach Resort

Today we are so delighted to share Dhanu & Anita’s destination wedding in Bahamas. I have to admit this wedding was the most beautiful & intimate wedding that we have ever documented. And I say that not exactly because of the number of guests that attended, as the guest count was in upwards to 125+. But because the day of the wedding ended up being a very windy day, & as you will see in the images below, it got quite hard to ignite the fire & also to keep it going to carry on with Anita & Dhanu’s Hindu wedding ceremony. So the priest asked all the guests to gather around the bride & groom to hold the wind back & provide protection to fire from the wind. It was simply amazing. So without further ado, here is part I of Anita & Dhanu’s Bahamas wedding!

Happy Wednesday!

Anita’s shoe collection is to die for! Wait till you see her Badgley Mischka shoes for reception!

Anita & Dhanu’s moms-love when the families meet at the wedding!

I personally love this image of Anita & her dad in the background..

When shooting a destination wedding this shot can be so easily coordinated & a must for us! While Harp did backflips to get all the guests attention, I mounted myself on a chair & took the shot.. err.. yes! I was totally joking about Harp doing black flips…although it is an interesting idea..hmm may be next time..

Shradha & Pranav’s Wedding Day Finale – New Delhi, India

admin — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:11:09 +0000

On this sort of gloomy but a warm day in Toronto, I am so excited to share the final post from Shradha & Pranav’s wedding ceremony in India. I am actually quite sad as this post marks the finale of all the wedding coverage from Shradha & Pranav’s wedding but like they say all good things come to an end & so they must..We wish Shradha & Pranav all the VERRRRY best in their new life together & thank you again for making us a part of it

Enjoy!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Venue: Qutub Hotel, New Delhi

Hair & Make Up – Vidya Tikari Studio

Few days after the wedding & before Shradha & Pranav jetted off for their very exotic honeymoon in Thailand, we did a bridal shoot in Delhi. We started the shoot at the nation’s national monument, The India Gate, followed by Qutub Minar. Although we started so earlllly in the morning as the sun rises quite early in Delhi this time of the year, we couldn’t believe how many people were already out on the streets, plus tourists on tours & so many children on day trips from school. It was hard to find quite spots without too many people around but somehow we managed & the shoot turned out to be awesome!

When in India.. the land of Bollywood must do a filmi shot.. & this one is totally inspired by Veer Zaara

Shradha’s Pre-Wedding Ceremonies-New Delhi, India

admin — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 15:37:45 +0000

Continuing on with blogging Shradha & Pranav’s wedding festivities in India, today I am so excited to share their pre-wed henna & ‘Haldi” ceremony. Both the ceremonies took place right outside on the street of Shradha’s parents’ place in New Delhi. And In true Indian wedding style, hot pink tent with orange accents was put up to host all the pre-wedding ceremonies with again delish vegetarian food & drinks for all the friends & family.While going through the images again this morning trying to blog for these events, I started to reminisce about the wedding, all the people, details, & about our experience there. Everything just reminded me how lucky & how truly blessed we are to be able to do what we truly love & are passionate about. We are SO thankful to our profession to have allowed us to see such great places, meet many amazing people & to be able to document such important times in their lives..On that thought, have a very happy monday ya’ll!

Cheers,

Even me & harp joined in the wedding festivities.. umm..now the question is who actually took our photo?!?!

Kid eyeing the food platter.. classic!

After posting Alisha & Al-Hussein’s bridal shoot images, we received SO many emails from our blog readers about how much they enjoyed the images that we shot in the bathroom of the hotel & so many of our clients that recently got their washrooms done would love for us to drop by & do there own washroom shoot.. err…first of all, we had no idea how many washroom renos were going on just within our group of blog readers, it must be a Spring thing to do.. Second of all, YES!! we would love to..

Bahamas Engagement – Anita + Dhanu

admin — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 19:37:09 +0000

Anita & Dhanu tied the knot in gorgeous Bahamas this feb & as they both reside in Washington DC (well, now in Houston), we only met with them once before the wedding & that too was at one of our 2010 clients, Deepan & Ausra’s wedding, where we chatted for a bit & decided to shoot their engagement session before the wedding in Bahamas once we arrive & then followed by their ‘Rock that Dress’ shoot the day after the wedding.

A special thanks to Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort for allowing us to shoot on their gorgeous property. And a VERY special thanks to Mother Nature for making it look like it was about to pour each moment & day that weekend but somehow holding the rain back …

Happy Monday!
