4/8 Jahnnavi and Sameer – Beautiful Sangeet Celebrations – Bellevue Conference and Events Center, Chantilly, Virginia

We started at the Lansdowne Resort and Spa to prepare for Jahnavi and Sameer’s sangeet celebrations at the Bellevue Conference and Events Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The Bellevue Conference and EventsCenter is a beautiful facility; however, one of its drawbacks is its location and lack of outdoorspace for photography. Bellevue Conference and Events Center requires a photographer well seasoned in lighting techniques and skill to yield the end result clients genuinely wish to see – ask anyone who had an event there. They will tell you this is the truth, spoken honestly and out loud. So starting at Lansdowne was a must to get the scenic shots in their beautiful attire outdoors in natural light, catching a few of these show-stopping images before the song and dance officially began.
