the old well.…a must have chapel hill wedding shot!

how cute are they?!

tara’s dad is so sweet!  he was a little teary eyed when he started thinking about his little girl getting married.

the rain did not hold off for the ceremony, but we got to do some cool umbrella shots outside.

best cake feeding ever!

congrats tara and brandon!

this is it!  the last night of indian gorgeousness.   the evening was more like a western wedding reception, but not just any wedding reception!  there were ballet dancers, opera singers, and theatrical performers for entertainment.   it was a night of heart felt toasts and sentimental surprises.  the bride’s mother sang a song to her (there was not a dry eye there!).  it was a magical last night of celebration!

the hangover bazaar was held poolside at the gorgeous leela palace.  it was a relaxing morning for the guests to see local crafts and lounge by the refreshing waters!

the full moon fantasy sangeet was at the island palace of jag mandir.  bollywood entertainment, family and friend’s entertaining performances and a great dj made it a night to remember!

post 2 from one of the most amazing weddings ever!  the ceremony was at the gorgeous leela palace in udaipur.

here are a few shots of the bride getting ready from my fabulous second shooter, michele waite.

the baraat is always a fun part of an indian wedding.  the drums pounding and the dancing are so festive!  often the groom will ride to the ceremony on a horse or an elephant, but this groom opted for a bike. : )
