JW Marriott Desert Ridge Phoenix: Shalini + Ankur Wedding

Posted in Weddings

There is a love story spanning 1000 miles and five states. Shalini and Ankur met in New York on a blind date while she was doing her family medicine residency in Macon, Georgia and he was doing his cardiology fellowship in Boston, Massachusetts. After countless hours on the phone and logging vast numbers of frequent flyer miles, they realized that they were meant for each other. Ankur proposed to Shalini on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and their wedding took place at the beautiful JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in Phoenix on November 5th, 2011.

Prior to their wedding I had the opportunity to fly out to Atlanta Georgia where we had a great E-Shoot session at the beautiful Piedmont Park. You can view the pictures by clicking here.

DC Ranch Scottsdale, Arizona Wedding: Heidi + Ari

Posted in Weddings

This is definitely the most unique fusion wedding we have shot so far! Few months ago a mutual friend introduced us to Heidi and Ari. At our first consultation we were excited to know that the ceremony will be a Hindu ceremony performed by a Indian priest and fusion style wedding with a traditional Mandap. Both of them are from a western culture, but they are a strong believers in Hindu culture and are very much into Yoga. Which explains some of the shots with their Yoga pose.

The wedding and reception took place at the beautiful DC Ranch Country Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. Sonia and I had a wonderful time capturing their love and wish both Heidi and Ari a happy life together!

Ramiya + Srikant E-Shoot

Posted in Engagements

This will be the last blog for 2011. Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year! I can’t wait to share lots more Awesomeness in 2012!

I had the pleasure of capturing Ramiya & Srikant’s E-Shoot at Papago Park in Tempe Arizona. They wanted a nature look along with few shots at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa where they will be getting married in April of 2012.

They were so awesome to work with and both Sonia and I are looking forward to capturing their wedding along with Suzanne Taussig of Suzanne Taussig Wedding & Event Design.

Here are some glimpses of their E-Shoot!

Manisha + Roy Wedding

Posted in Weddings

Another gorgeous Indian Wedding! Early this year, I had the opportunity to shoot an engagement session of Manisha & Roy. We had such a great time getting to know each other. It was more of a friendship bond at the end of the shoot. When I met them on the morning of their wedding day, it was like I was meeting old friends and not just another client.

They had a traditional Hindu Gujarati style wedding at the Crowne Plaza Phoenix Airport. The beautiful Mandap and the entire wedding was planned by the very talented RSVP Special Events team. Congratulations once again to Manisha & Roy and thank you for giving us the opportunity to capture these beautiful memories. Both Sonia and I had a fantastic time capturing these moments.

Here are few glimpses from both their wedding and reception pictures!

Enjoy!

Amardeep + Ariana E-Shoot

Posted in Engagements

Ariana & Amardeep what a beautiful couple! Ariana lives in San Jose California and Amardeep recently moved to Arizona from Los Angeles. Both of them love nature and desert look, so Ariana flew in to Phoenix for this shoot. We started the shoot at Papago Park in Tempe Arizona, as this seemed like the perfect location for an engagement shoot. I was able to capture the beautiful sunset. I love the golden light during the sunset time!

After nightfall we walked the streets of downtown Scottsdale and found some awesome spots with natural light to do some night shoot.

Looking forward to capturing their wedding next year in October at the beautiful Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa! Their wedding will be planned by the very talented Suzanne Taussig of Suzanne Taussig Wedding & Event Design

Enjoy!
