Bani & Ravin had met in New York, and as much as we would have loved to their Indian Engagement Photo Shoot in New York, they have since moved to Houston. We chose Rice University (Bani’s alma mater) as the starting point for their shoot. It was ridiculously hot outside, but these two were troopers […]

Indian Wedding Photography – Gujarati Wedding Ceremony – Austin, TX
We saved the most traditional photos of Pragati & Anant’s Gujarati Wedding for last. You’ll see the bride and groom getting ready, the baraat (procession with the groom and his family entering the wedding venue), being greeted by the bride’s mother and family. Then there is the garland exchange, the seven circles around the pious fire […]
Indian Engagement Photography – Hermann Park, Houston, TX
I think we got lucky and caught a break when we went out to Hermann Park and the fountain by Hotel ZaZa in Houston, to shoot Sarika & Rahul’s Engagement Photos. I say lucky, because it wasn’t a million degrees outside! It was only 95!! We tried to shoot in the shade or with the […]
Indian Wedding Photography – Gujarati Wedding Reception – Austin, TX
We shared some lovely images from Pragati and Anant’s traditional haldi-pithi, mosaru, mehndi and sangeet. Lots of tradition, lots of ceremonies; so we figured we’d switch things up and share these really fun photos from their wedding reception, before sharing their wedding ceremony photographs! There was so much dancing, rejoicing and frolicking! Even the little […]
Traditional Gujarati Haldi, Pithi, Mehndi & Sangeet – Austin, TX
Gujarati weddings, like Marwari and other traditional Indian weddings last well over 2-3 days and each day is packed with ceremonies and rituals that date back centuries! Pragati and Anant’s wedding started with Haldi or Pithi, where family members apply “haldi” (turmeric paste) on the bride and groom to cleanse, purify and prepare them for […]
Moni & Aman – Traditional Punjabi Wedding, Houston, TX
Moni and Aman were married in a traditional Punjabi wedding ceremony at the Gurdwara Sahib of Southwest Houston. After the auspicious customs and traditions at the Gurdwara (Sikh Temple/Church) these guys partied it up at the Mint Spice Bistro in Sugarland. DJ Jag was there with thumping beats and had everyone up and dancing! I had a blast shooting this […]

Last week we had shared Ambreen & Sean’s cross-cultural Indian American Mehndi & Sangeet, this week, we are happy to share their Indian American Fusion Wedding photos! The venue for this shin-dig was the gorgeous Laguna Gloria. It served as the perfect green backdrop for the red hues of roses and the burnt orange of the […]
Divya & Praveen – Indian Engagement Photography, New York
I had a blast shooting Divya & Praveen’s Indian Engagement photography session all over New York (Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge). I instantly fell in love with Divya’s panache and Praveen’s elegance. Divya and I shared hearty laughs all around Central Park, while Praveen smiled ever so slightly. She is his gorgeous Punjabi belle; He is her Southern […]
Ambreen & Sean – Mehndi & Sangeet, Austin, TX
Ambreen & Sean and their guests had arrived at the Hilton Downtown for their Mehndi & Sangeet in Austin, TX from overseas. I use this British-ism, as Britain is where these two met – that too in an office where Sean showed Ambreen how to use a scanner 🙂 – how romantic! Their guests came from […]
Minal & Snehal – Mt Bonnell Engagement, Austin, TX
Mea Culpa!! Sorry we’ve been AWOL from the blog. It’s been a very busy fall, and we’ve been swamped with travel, a lot of cool weddings and engagements, and some AMAZING couples! I was made acutely aware of this fact, when albums started coming in the mail, and I hadn’t even blogged about those shoots! […]
