Ankita & Sachin • Museum of Science, Boston, MA

I hope you guys are prepared for this MEGA-post, haha! When I first went through the photos I selected 450 (!) photos that I thought would be nice to blog. While I don’t think I ended up exactly with that amount of photos, I think we got pretty close, haha! I know many photographers that won’t even give you that many photos – not really my approach when it comes to weddings & babies, but I believe every photographer can have their own thoughts about that. For me there are not enough memories that you can create on a day like that, same counts for baby photos – all the different smiles … it’s nice to look back and relive the moments :o)

Ankita’s & Sachin’s wedding was SO special to me, you guys have no idea how excited I was when Ankita & Sachin booked me. My mom used to work for an airline company back in the day which gave us awesome opportunities to travel around the world. I LOVED seeing other cultures – and was especially drawn to the Far East, especially Thailand and Indonesia. India was always my dream destination, and even if it took me a while to get there, I had an awesome trip and traveled around for about 5 weeks. The colors, the people, the culture! It’s just all so amazing and so beautiful! I LOVE cultural weddings, and I hope you all enjoy a little glimpse into this super fun wedding. – Yes, I probably overdid it with all the photos, but …. I love them all so much … :o)

What should I say, Ankita & Sachin sure had an awesome day, filled with LOTS of laughter and joy. You’ll have to see for yourself. They’re one wonderful couple and will always have a very special place in my heart <3

Ankita & Sachin held their ceremony & reception at the awesome Museum of Science in Boston. Honestly if you’re considering a downtown wedding with an awesome view and an opportunity for an outdoor ceremony, this is the place you want to look at!

Enough said, Ankita & Sachin I hope you guys had an awesome time in Hawai’i!!!

Here’s the sneak peek into their HUGE set of photos:

Anya (my daughter) keeps calling this the princes wedding :o)) Who would blame her?!

Ankita, just in case you haven’t heard it yet – you are drop dead gorgeous!

And a few of her handsome groom, Sachin:

We were able to take a few photos of them at a park across the Museum before a quick thunderstorm rolled in …

You just gotta love these two!

I think this one is my favorite from the day <3

Groom’s procession :o)

Photographer fun. Me shooting my sweet second shooter Geneve, who was shooting one of the guests :o))

Prince Sachin trying to beat the … leafy elements :o))

Love this little series :o))

It was SUCH a happy day for both families <3

And I loved these photos of Ankita’s grandma, blessing / welcoming Sachin into the family :o)

… and some photos of Ankita’s sweet mom:

Mmmmm ….. I didn’t know guys can get Mehndies also :o))

Love the way Ankita looks at Sachin in this one :o)

Ankita’s family was clearly happy having Sachin in their family – and I know Sachin’s family was happy to welcome Ankita too <3

SO MANY SMILES!!! <3 How could I ever pick a favorite???

Love the way Sachin looks at Ankita in this one :o)

A few from Geneve while I was taking family photos:

Hi videographer! ;o)

LOOK at all these expressions!!! LOVE this couple and their families <3

I don’t usually post that many candids, but I just couldn’t resist :o))

What a cool looking venue, right?!

Haha … runnnnn!!!!

Ok, I’ll have to explain the photo below (especially since I am actually a blog post behind / I haven’t posted their pre-wedding ceremonies yet). There was a certain guest that just looooved photobombing some of the family photos (you’ll see once I post my pre-wedding post), but this one (I’m assuming accidentally) definitely stole the show, haha! How about this as a photo bomb!??!!?

Let’s just say Indians LOVE to party!!! I haven’t been to one Indian wedding where the dance floor wasn’t packed, they sure love to dance!

VERY special thanks to my second photographer & great friend: Geneve

Ankita & Sachin • Mehndi Party & Cocktails at Finale

Here are a few photos I don’t usually post, but hey … I thought there were so many smiles, and Ankita & Sachin threw SUCH a fun Mehndi Party that I just couldn’t resist :o) So …. excuse all the candids, and funny photo bomb photos, I hope I’ll put some smiles on your faces :o))

First off, …. of course I couldn’t resist taking just a FEW posed photos of the pretty couple – you know me :o)

Excuse me!!! What’s that finger on the left doing there!?!? Haha … I didn’t even see it sneaked in until I looked at the photos once I was back home again :o)) Sneaky-sneaky!

Let’s try that again! :o)

Not really sure you can see the “kiss stamp” on the 2 photos above, but it’s there and in big it looks too sweet :o)

Soso many smiles :o)

Figured I might as well post some more casual family photos, while I’m at it :o)

Have I mentioned that there was a serious photo bomber in the crowd?? :o))

There was loooots of singing, chanting and …. then they danced …. and danced. People from India sure know how to party!

And a few informal photos from Ankita’s & Sachin’s cocktail party at Finale – yummmmm!

First off a few of the couple :o))

Did you spot the photo bomber?? ^^  :o))

Sydney, 1 year old

Remember Rebecca & Brian, who got married at the beautiful Coonamessett Inn in 2011? I was dying to finally get to meet their little addition for a bit over a year, and boy is she one of the sweetest, most precious little things (not a big surprise knowing her sweet mommy & daddy). She’s such a little ham, running ALL OVER the place already (haha), and running the show, but …. it’s the cutest show on earth, so who minds?! :o)

Happy belated birthday sweet, little Syd! I love you to pieces! <3 <3 <3 It was SOSOSO nice finally getting to spend some time with you <3

Look at that hair blowing in the wind, how precious?!!!

One of the beautiful family <3

Absolutely love this one of you guys! <3

Look at those beautiful blue eyes <3

And that tongue …. omg, tooo sweet :o)))<3

Sarah & Domenic • Aldrich Mansion, Warwick, RI

It’s time to post some wedding photos again, are you guys ready for a little sneak peek into one of my most recent weddings?

My couples take me to the most beautiful places, how spoiled am I?! Sarah & Domenic got married at the GORGEOUS Aldrich Mansion, it is truly such a perfect place for a wedding, with soooo many beautiful spots for photos and beautiful history, it’s a dream for any photographer and it just screams elegance!

I am really excited to share this set, it was such a beautiful day – even if quite hot and humid a little thunderstorm ended up taking the edge away and the weather cleared up just in time for everybody to enjoy the beautiful view towards the water during cocktail hour.

Sarah & Nick, I hope you guys had an AMAZING time in Paris, I envied you for all the tasty food you guys were most likely eating and all the fun stuff you were seeing, … ah Europe …. how I miss you!

I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek, thanks for letting us capture your memorable day and a very special thanks to my second photographer Geneve who has been shooting on my side for FIVE years, wow how time flies – I included some of her photos below :o)

Sarah’s gorgeous dress, loved the lace and soft color! Soso beautiful!

Absolutely loved the soft colors of the flowers, so pretty! :o) … and the ring bearer’s pillow … too cute!

Isn’t the ring bearer’s outfit just toooo cute??? :o)

And a few portraits of the beautiful bride, Sarah :o)

and a few of Nick too :o)

I am so happy Sarah & Nick chose to do a first-look, so we could get the posed photos out of the way BEFORE the ceremony especially as there was a thunderstorm during the service and because the venue is just so big, it would have been such a shame to rush those photos! Thanks for allllllll the time you guys put aside for the photos! <3

Gotta love a fun bridal party :o) So sorry I chased you guys around during that heat, haha … I felt awful! You guys sure were great sports about it! :o)

A few of just the happy couple. Seriously – I looooove the Aldrich grounds! I bet you could shoot there every weekend and you’d keep discovering new spots.

And a few from the water front :o) Ahhhh, ocean side weddings – you know how to make me happy! :o)

SO MANY beautiful spots!!! And we’re not done yet!!

One of my favorites from the day, showing off the beautiful Aldrich Mansion!

Aaaaaand the gorgeous entrance! I mean, seriously!!! What a perfect spot to get married!!!!

Hey, gotta finish up in the tub, right? :o))

Looking happy! :o))

And I loved all of their details, especially the pretty place card holders … the flowers …. and plates, glasses …. everything looked SOOOO pretty!

Thank you everybody for a wonderful day!!!
