Bravo to the bride and groom for putting up with such an extravagant wedding. Two traditional Indian wedding included a ceremony in Punjabi, Gujarati, and ended with a lovely reception. As Radha looked gorgeous in all different outfits and Sukhi looked super chic. The decorations were very well coordinated with the bride and groom's outfits in all the ceremonies. Even though the wedding started at 4 am the couple looked stunning in all of their pictures. Their love is definitely glowing:) and may the love continue to glow for eternity.

Caroline + Dean

Sat, 07 Jul 2018 18:34:45 GMT

You are absolutely going to swoon over Caroline and Dean's fairytale romantic outdoor wedding! The historical grounds of Bell Grove plantation in Virginia are touted as one of the state’s historical plantation. The Rappahannock River at the back was breathing taking during the wedding ceremony so it’s easy to see why the gorgeous couple chose this as their wedding venue. The grounds feel historical southern and really transports you back in time!

Lovely bride, Caroline, is just stunning in her lace-detailed dress with her groom looking quite dapper in a cool navy blue suit! The bride and her bridesmaids carried gorgeous navy blue and groomsmen matched with the groom with a navy blue suit and yellow tie.

Capturing the shooting star behind the couple was the highlight of our photography career. For the first time we managed to capture a starry night behind the couple and in bonus, we got a shooting star. Super happy with the image :)

Nahar + Bruce

Fri, 22 Jun 2018 20:06:06 GMT

We are smitten with all the ravishing details of Nahar and Bruce's wedding day at Foxchase Manor in Manassas, Virginia! Before the wedding reception, we got to shoot some lovely pictures of the couple on the historical Manassas battlefield. Nahar looked absolutely astonishing in her bright red outfit and Bruce looked like a GQ model with the nice suit and matching red shoe and bow tie. The decor was gorgeous from the centerpiece, bouquet, and the cake. Their sparkler exit was extravagant. The bride and the groom exited the wedding by dancing their way out, while everyone holding sparkler around the couple.

Brendan + Gali - Le Meridien, Arlington

Fri, 12 Jan 2018 17:30:00 GMT

Brendan and Gali were married on July 1 with a ceremony and reception at Le Meridien in Arlington.

Everything about this event was chic and sophisticated, just like the grooms. We started the day with getting ready photos of the grooms. Brendan got ready with the bridesmaids, while Gali got ready with the groomsmen. Once everyone was ready, we staged a first look for the happy couple.

Washington DC First Look

The first look captured so much emotion and joy that these two share. Brendan and Gali looked so happy to be together. The sun shone brightly and the sky was an amazing summer blue. We had both the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial as backdrops for their portraits. We took pictures around the national mall, capturing the iconic monuments as well as the happiness shared by the couple. We even did portraits at the Regan National Airport, which provided a unique and interesting architectural backdrop for pictures. After pictures with the bridal party and family, we all headed to Arlington for the ceremony and reception.

The ceremony was outside. Brendan and Gali were both walked down the aisle by their mothers, which we thought was a beautiful gesture. The Maids of Honor were Jennifer and Avelyn. In another sweet gesture, the roles of flower girl and ring bearer were played by the grooms’ treasured Huskies; Trixie and Sitka. It was so sweet the dogs were a part of their special day. After all, they are all one family, now!

At the reception, there were a few memorable moments. The first dance that Brendan and Gali shared was an amazing moment. They looked like the only two people in the world. There were also a few other special dances. Brendan’s parents shared an anniversary dance and it was announced. It was such a romantic moment to see the love they share honored during the reception. Gali’s dance with his mother was very emotional and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

Later in the evening, there was a video presentation of photos of the couple through the years. The reactions to this montage were wonderful, especially Gali and Brendan’s reactions!

Overall, everything about this wedding was stylish and well-coordinated. We have to send out a thank you to the team at SaReen Events for planning such a detail orientated wedding. We enjoyed being part of this wedding from the beginning till the end. Brendan and Gali's wedding was very special for us because this was our first gay wedding and we were so happy to be involved.

Thank you, Brendan and Gali for making us part of your life. We were thrilled to capture some unforgettable moments in your wedding photography.

Hufsa + Ali - Hilton Washington Dulles Airport

Tue, 14 Nov 2017 03:03:22 GMT

Hufsa and Ali’s wedding held at Hilton Washington Dulles Airport was beautifully crafted between two cultures and family. This chic couple brought in the immensely talented planner Nawreen and Sarah from Sareen Events to style every inch of their wedding. We loved every aspect of the vibrant colorful bengali tradition ceremony (Holud). The guests were full of energy and the night was full of fun with lots of dance performance. Next day was the wedding reception. We started of our day taking couple pictures and the best part watching Ali and Hufsa zooming in a yellow Lamborghini. The reception was very elegant featured subtle color palette of floral and crystal decorations, and so many cool desert details. Hufsa and Ali looked electrifying in both of the events and the couple couldn’t be more perfectly yolked together. We enjoyed every moment till the end and thank you for making us part of your fairytale journey.

Eva + Nick - Punta Cana Wedding, Dominican Republic

Mon, 09 Oct 2017 18:52:44 GMT

Eva and Nick were married on March 18 with a ceremony and reception at the Dreams Resort & Spa. in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. This was a wedding in paradise and we were so thrilled to be a part of it!

It was a beautiful destination wedding. The ceremony location next to the beach made it more extraordinary. Family was obviously so important to Eva and Nick. Even though it was their wedding, they wanted everyone to be relaxed and have tons of fun. They went for a laid back and fun-filled vibe for their wedding, with lush flower decorations and pops of purple flowers to decorate the space.

The initial ceremony took place under a nice gazebo, right on the beach. Eva’s son, Azim walked her down the aisle and gave her away. We love how Azim kissed her gently while Nick looked on in admiration. During the ceremony, Nick had written special vows, both for Eva and for Azim. There was a very emotional picture right after he shared his vow for Azim, where Nick embraced Azim and Eva gently wiped off Nick’s tears. Nick was so affectionate and loving towards Azim.

We stole the newlyweds away for portraits on the beach. The couple looked amazing in front of the water, and the ocean breeze lifted up Eva’s veil in an elegant way. Nick and Eva have such a natural, easy affection for each other. There is so much love in the way they look at each other.

The reception was held in a beautiful, open airy place with dinner and dancing. Eva and Nick shared their first dance as husband and wife to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” After the sun set, the celebration continued and everyone had a wonderful time dancing the night away.

We consider ourselves so lucky to have been part of this dream wedding. It was such a pleasure to take pictures on the beach. Thanks to Eva and Nick for making work seems like a vacation!

Bisma + Stewart - A True Cinderella Love Story - Engagement Shoot

Tue, 06 Sep 2016 16:41:50 GMT

Thanks to Stewart's job at the U.S. Marines, he met his dream girl all across the world in Dhaka, Bangladesh. These two are full of cute love stories. Stewart surprised her with a bling in front of Disney's cinderella's castle. How cute:) He asked and she said yes!!! A true cinderella love story! Their wishes came true in the most magical place in the world. We absolutely enjoyed to the fullest taking their multiple day E-shoot.

Day 1: Dumberton Oaks. Honestly it felt like a secret garden and we fell in love this place. We were the only one there and love birds were too busy admiring each other while we snapped away. Next stop was at Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Luckily the weather was perfect and the sunset was breathtaking. Bisma & Stewart are so natural at posing and off course they love being in each others arms, which made our job easier. The background and sunset made every picture so beautiful. We also got lucky with some rain drops and got to shoot some cute moments of the love birds under the umbrella.

Day 2: Library of Congress, National Gallery of Art Museum, DC cupcake. Library of congress was super busy but we managed to get some wonderful shoots of the two. While they stared at each other we got some clicks of the two in museum and DC cupcake.

Day 3: Home in Leesburg, VA. They choose this locations so that Stewart could wear his uniform. What other way to end the e-shoot his uniform resembles them and their love story. We enjoyed every moment of the e-shoot and hope the love birds had equal fun as we did.

Cant wait till Bisma + Stewart wedding in July 29th, 2017 at New Orleans:)

We got some picture perfect moments during the sunset when the sky lit up like fire. Looking forward to capture some more amazing moments of Megan and Patrick in their wedding.

Shikha + Anand - A Wedding in Paradise

Sun, 25 Jan 2015 23:59:04 GMT

Shikha and Anand's wedding is one of the beautiful wedding we have ever photographed. We were very excited to take pictures for Shikha and Anand because this is our first destination wedding. A true love story in paradise, the wedding took place in Westin Resort & Spa in Cancun, Mexico. The adorable couple tied their knot in two different ceremonies Christian and Hindu. As a photographer we couldn't ask for a better location the blue water and perfect weather made ever pictures mesmerizing. All the events were gorgeously decorated, full of fun, dancing, and singing. Wishing Shikha and Anand life long journey of happiness in their paradise world.
