Pollye & Katrina Get Married

November 9, 2009

Sometimes you meet people and you just click, it doesn’t seem to happen often, but every once in a while, you get surprised.  When it happens, there is an instant warmth and comfort with with the people that you are speaking to. Pollye & Katrina are two of those people.

The first time I met them, we talked about ideas and visions for their big day.  We went back and forth on how to make everything just so.  They were so open to suggestions on how to make it perfect that I cannot say enough kind words about them.  They made my job so easy.  Describing them as relaxed would be an understatement (even though they would tell you that they were not relaxed).  Even on their wedding day, they let me give them suggestions on how to make it just a little bit better.

I don’t think I could have asked for two more kind and generous people.  Thank you Pollye & Katrina for letting me be a part of your special day!

This is a big post, mainly because I had so many wonderful images it was hard to choose which ones to post and which ones not to.  So I decided to go just post them all (well, not really all, but a lot of them).  Enjoy!

Indian Wedding – Update

September 14, 2009

I know that I have said this before, but this wedding was just unbelievable.  I could not believe the colors and the how much they brightened up a room.   The weekend was full of symbolism.  At each and every turn there was a stage that lead the bride and groom to their marriage.  While I had shot a number of Hindu weddings before, this was my first Sikh wedding.  I have to be honest, they were a few things that I didn’t expect;  But that also made it all of the more fun.

I had a hard time picking the shots that I wanted to blog about today.  These are some of the ones that stood out most to be (trust me there are a lot more that are equally fantastic).  Enjoy the show.  I sure know that I did.

I have to be honest, this shot was a mistake.  As I was bring the camera down by my side,  I clicked the shutter by mistake.  But what a cool mistake it was.

To get into the hall, the groom needs to beg, bribe anything to get past the bride’s side of the family.  Lots of laughs happening!
