Anjali and Zahid did a lot of work before their wedding, so when the big day arrived, they carried themselves with such poise and calm. Perhaps inside, they were a little more riled up, but you would have never known it.
Photographing Indian weddings are one of my favorite types of weddings. Yes, there is lots of eye candy for the photographer's eye, but more importantly, an Indian wedding is really about honoring family and friends.
Anjali and Zahid, you have fabulous family and friends. It was an honor being part of your beautiful and elegant day.
Now for the photos! By the way, I want to send a shout out to one of my lovely clients, Kim, who recommended me to Anjali. You can see Kim and her cutie boyfriend at the last shot.
Oh, and another shout out to the talented Maggie Rife and Allison Cosmos who assisted me. Some of their photos are in this more comprehensive slideshow of the wedding and below. I work with some really amazing second photographers. Thank you, ladies!

Michelle and Randy's engagement session at Montrose Harbor Beach almost never happened due to weather concerns. Fortunately, rain held off and the light was gorgeous.
It's fitting that I'm blogging this session on Memorial Day since Randy is in the US Air Force and by happenstance, Michelle and Randy wore red, white and blue.
You'd think this was posted on the 4th of July with all of the fireworks going off between these two cuties too.
Michelle and Randy, congrats on your engagement, and I hope your engagement party was a smashing success this past weekend.
