Wow…what a series of events.  Three days worth of emotion - and beauty.  It all started with Shivani having some beautiful henna done by The Henna Company

 

 

 

 

The next day, it was a wonderful family party with great music - which everyone enjoyed and danced to.

 

 

 

The third day held the main festivities - and I’ve got to say that it was all beautify and again emotional.  Shena from Desi-gn did a great job coordinating and with the decoration and made the Intercontinental Hotel look fantastic.  Oh, the hotel staff did a fantastic job also!

 

 

 

May I say that this was a GORGEOUS mandap?  Well, I’ll say it.

 

 

 

Shivani got ready and she looked incredible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, Amit had to put on the finishing touches before heading out into the heat (did I mention it was HOT?) for the baraat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shivani’s mother became very emotional as Amit approached.

 

 

Then it was inside for the ceremony.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the ceremony, we did some portraits and then on to the reception.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What was originally going to be an engagement session on the day of their wonderful engagement party turned into a “day after” session - OK, a “after the honeymoon” session.

Sheetal and Hamenth flew back to Houston for this session and we had a great time.  We selected a few locations - some traditional, some a bit more “urban” and headed out into downtown Houston.  All I can say is that these two were made to be in front of the camera and you could tell the honeymoon was still fresh in their mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guys, I wish you the very best as you embark on your careers and married life together.

You may remember Gita and Sheilen from their awesome engagement session…well, this is their wedding!

What an amazing day - and what a great attitude.  Gita and Sheilen were about the most laid back bride and groom I’ve had the pleasure to work with.  Not that they had anything to be uptight about as everything went off perfectly, but they were so absolutely mellow.  You know they enjoyed their day - and so did their family and friends.

So, here is their day in photographs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you two had a great honeymoon!  I wish you the very best!

I photographed Lara and Elie’s engagement session a little while ago and they told me to prepare myself for their wedding as they were expecting a great party.  Well, they were NOT kidding.

First off, their family and friends were amazing and everything was just perfect.  From the beautiful flowers Elie got Lara, to the absolutely stunning bridesmaid dresses, to the beautiful church, to the AMAZING party that celebrated their marriage. 

Words cannot describe it so I’ll let the photos do so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that was just Lara getting ready!  On to the ceremony which took place at the beautiful St. Kevork Armenian Church.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the ceremony, it was on the the celebration.  The reception was at Cafe Byblos where they had the entire place for their guests.  Totally AWESOME food, great band, a belly dancer, and a great party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lara, Elie, you two were great to work with.  Thank you!  I wish you the very best of everything.
