Check out their gorgeous engagement session at B’hai Temple!

Niti & Manish held their ceremony at The Meadows Club. Room design was astonishing, by Yanni Design Studio. It started with a lovely procession of children, prayers, several Hindu rituals, and ended with Vidaii, my favorite! Soon I will be posting the reception images!

And check out their downtown Chicago engagement shoot!

Elegant cocktail hour and Reception were held at the Rosemont Convention Center

Sid of Modern Event Rentals did such an outstanding job with the reception room.

He used a combination of modern furniture, reflective surfaces, custom lighting, and even a wall of (real) candles to create a romantic yet vibrant environment.

As you can see from the many many photos, it was simply gorgeous and a wonderful group of people.

Thank you so much Punit & Ruby for choosing me, and I hope to see you at another event in the near future!
