I recently had the wonderful experience of photographing a Sikh and Hindu wedding. Sunny & Tania started their morning with a Sikh Ceremony then later moved to The Meadows Club to finish off their festivities! As you can see from all the images, it was a beautiful full day!

It was such a classic Chicago summer day, it could not have been more perfect! We started at the Sheraton for preparation, took two limo buses to the church, then toured around town on a perfect blue sky day!
To top it off, the beautiful reception at the Columbia Yacht Club started with a traditional Lithuanian wedding dance and ended with fireworks!
Congratulations to both of you, I am very excited that we will have your album completed soon!

Monica & Nawwar were such an inspiration to photograph. Their wedding was incredibly intimate and personal.
With their union they also tied their 4 children into a new family unit, and to witness this was so precious to me.
Officiant: Robin Renteria
Ceremony/Reception Location: The Weathervane, Chapel Hill, NC
Coordinator: Sarah Mackiewicz
Portrait Locations:
Open Eye Cafe, Jonny’s, Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill, NC
After the morning portraits with one another and with their children, we headed to The Weathervane for a gorgeous outdoor ceremony!
They are such a tender couple, I loved the emotion of them greeting their children after the ceremony!
The reception was very tasteful, literally! Nawwar’s groom cake was a stack of gourmet cheeses!
Congratulations to both of you, it was such a pleasure to spend the day with you!

It’s fun to second shoot from time to time! My friend Emily from New York City had me work with her at this gorgeous wedding this past May at Cafe Brauer in Lincoln Park. It’s a beautiful venue with lots of natural light!

Congratulations to both of you and I hope your reception in China was amazing!!

I love the contrast in this marble wall, and it made a great available light black & white portrait for Pu.
Xue's dress was incredibly flattering, accented by her jade necklace, love it!
I love this building, so many angles, SO many beautiful details!
After the Cultural Center we went for a walk!
Pu & Xue cast shadows on the bridge at millennium park

Amer used real candles on the curtain behind Salman & Iram, it was truly elegant.
Iram & Salman were wed at the Chicago Marriott Schaumburg this past November.
You can see their Mendi from the evening before at this link, and their preparation at this blog post.
This is their formal portrait on the stage designed by Amer Design Studio. I highly recommend Amer, he is a delightful person and he knows how to transform a room!
I know this sounds cliché, but I really think it would have been impossible to take a bad photo of these two!
Iram is so incredibly beautiful, her make up was styled by Mehwish Khan.

Iram’s Ghaghra Choli was a gorgeous red with gold details and green accents on the jewelry. Stunning!
More previews will be posted soon! Hope you are both enjoying your honeymoon!
