1st anniversary: Wear your wedding dress again

I love the idea of this for so many reasons. Wearing the dress again, #1.
I found this through Pinterest which lead me over to weddingchicks

Goodbye sparklers, hello confetti

Many venues are now saying no to sparklers because of the burn and fire hazards. Which yes, I will miss those photos. However, that's a-okay because it brings back my favorite recessional surprise and grand exit ever... Confetti! Isn't this photo from 100 layer cake so fun? Classic really.

Jag is just stunning.



And Param's handsome smile is just contagious!

Jag+Param=Adventure | Part II

Our adventure with Jag & Param started with their engagement YOU+ME session in London, and continued with a five-day celebration of their love at their incredible Vancouver wedding. We love photographing Indian weddings - the vivid colors, the meaningful traditions, and all the emotion always leave me the perfect post-wedding combo of  inspired-happy-exhausted!

Jag had a wonderful team of wedding professionals including makeup by Felicia Bromba; hair design by Davierai;  Candice Maass of Essential Event Planning; decor by Raymon's Decor; florals by Fresh Blooms. Munira Motani did the gorgeously intricate henna on Jag.

We had a great time working with Vancouver videographers Geoff & Naomi of www.weddingsinmotion.ca;  and our amazing team of photographers including the always-smiling SarahJ, the always-chill Garrett, and husband & wife team Nick & Deb.

So many photos! Here are some of our favorites from day four- the wedding.

Jag's beauty is mesmerizing...

Married!



Threatening clouds, rain, and then breaks of sunshine - classic temperamental Vancouver weather for our portrait session.









After some hard bargaining, Param is finally permitted to enter Jag's home.



Solemn & sad goodbyes...







And a joyous welcome to Param's family.



Some last portraits before the sun disappeared.








Congrtulations J+P! Stay tuned for lots of day five reception goodness later this week!
