Ashwini and Harish had a traditional South Asian wedding at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront full of Indian traditions upon their returning from Bangalore, India. It’s an understatement to say that they were busy the entire month with celebrations, so much so that Harish had to work on getting well once he got back in order to celebrate here in the US! But with a little luck the two had a wonderful wedding in “Big Fat Indian” Style.
Our first time meeting Ashwini and Harish was during their engagement session in Washington DC as the two of them booked us during a conference call over the phone, super excited at the fact that we were free for their date! We were just as excited when they told us that we were their chosen photographers. Ashwini was stunning none the less as she wore a beautiful red lengha for her evening attire, while Harish had his suit custom tailored to fit him like a glove, he looked so debonair!
The Baltimore Marriott Waterfront is one of our absolute favorite places to photograph events as it is one of the most picturesque venues in Baltimore. The natural light that streams through the windows is enough to make a photographers heart melt like chocolate, rain or shine it is an amazing venue for photographing any bride. Ashwini had an amazing suite in which she got ready, honestly till now it was the best most roomy corner suites we have been able to shoot in – another great one is the JW Marriott in Washington DC across from the Willard Hotel which also has a great Presidential Suite – you just have to love the Marriott Hotels! So we were equally excited to learn of their venue choice. Now that the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore has gone up next to it, this makes Baltimore that much more desirable… but then again Baltimore sets the seen for great pictures!
