Maggie and Ty – Tie the knot~!

Many people are often surprised when we tell them that our wedding season goes till the end of November in full swing! But in full swing we certainly are. We have had such the pleasure of working with Maggie and Ty in documenting some special moments in their lives. As we pull away from our events at the end of the night it is often a sad feeling as you being to think about the great times that you have had with each couple. From the moment you meet them to their send off, it is a bond that is pretty strong with most couples. Last night we felt this greatly as we departed from Maggie and Ty’s wedding as we are sure their lives together will be happy and long lived. Watching as Maggie shook her head at Ty while the officiate stated “Divorce is not an option.” as if to mimic those same words silently to Ty from the bottom of her heart. I am sure that small little gestured was felt throughout the entire room.

After this small intimate ceremony was through they were onto the party as the dancing and fun began! One image you see below of one gentleman moving across the floor was due to a $131.00 bet that was placed. Happy to have won as you can see he was shortly after informed that it was stolen out of his very own pocket! You have to watch out for these sly firefighters!

Also the little one that you see holding her nose as if to make such a kind gesture was quickly after being asked to dance by the bagpiper! Ending the night out with a bang, they brought out the humongous Martini! We wish you guys all the best!

    Am I the only one who watches for this? Every single bride has this one moment under the four pillars where she just... drifts. Eyes down, hands still, somewhere else entirely for a few seconds. I always wonder what's running through her mind right there.

If you're a bride who remembers that exact feeling and you're willing to tell me what you were thinking, I would love to hear it. Drop it in the comments or DM me — we love to collect all these little stories.

    Hours of sitting still while this artwork gets created — and that's not even counting all the time spent planning and debating the design beforehand! There's a whole ritual to henna: the patience, the skill of the artist, and that hope that it dries deep and dark because tradition says that means something good for the marriage.

I love catching these quiet in-between moments on getting-ready day — mehndi still fresh, your bridesmaids in search of the lotion in an effort to ease placing them on. Did you hide your fiancé's name somewhere in your design? Tell me in the comments — I want to know if he spotted it right away! And if you're planning a wedding and want a photographer who notices these little details too, send us a DM.

    Everyone talks about the lehenga (rightfully so, it's a whole production) but let's talk about the sherwani for a second. The embroidery, the buttons, the fabric selection that has to complement the bride's outfit without competing with it - that's real thought and real time. Hanging it on a wall for a pretty shot doesn't tell that story though. What tells the story is Dad's hands doing up those buttons, that quiet minute before everything gets loud. We always look for it.

    WHAT’S IN A PORTRAIT?

Somewhere along the way, the traditional bridal portraits have started disappearing.

Wedding photography became more candid, editorial and movement-driven—and we love all of that. But the portrait should never become collateral damage to a trend.

Long before photography, families commissioned painted portraits to preserve a person for generations. Photography changed who had access to that privilege, but not its purpose.

These are legacy photographs.

That’s why we believe every bride AND groom deserves dedicated portrait time on the wedding timeline—in addition to editorial images, candids, couples portraits and family formals.

There’s another reason we protect this time.

For a bride, everything is finally on. Hair. Makeup. Jewelry. The outfit chosen months ago. And before the doors open, the baraat begins and the beautiful chaos takes over, she gets a few minutes to slow down.

To breathe.
To take it in.
To simply be the bride.

Then we make the portrait.

Because 50 years from now, someone may hold this photograph and say:

“That was my mother.”
“That was my grandmother.”
“Look at her.”

Some photographs aren’t made for a feed.

They’re made for a family.

    Some details deserve more than a quick photograph.

Wedding rings are one of them.

For many of our Indian-American and fusion couples, the rings are actually part of the blending of traditions that makes their wedding uniquely theirs.

The wedding ring as we commonly recognize it in America is deeply rooted in Western wedding tradition. The circle has represented continuity and eternity for centuries, and the exchange of rings eventually became one of the most recognizable symbols of marriage in Western culture. 

And we love watching our couples fold that tradition right alongside everything else.

A mangalsutra.
Sindoor.
Thali.
Toe rings.
Sacred threads.
Garlands.
And these rings.

Different traditions. Different histories. All carrying meaning into the same marriage.

Which is also why we believe the rings deserve more than simply being placed into the obligatory overhead photograph with the invitation, shoes, perfume and jewelry.

Yes, we photograph that too.

But we also want this.

A photograph where the rings themselves become the subject.

Because years from now, these little pieces of metal will have lived an entire life with you. They’ll acquire scratches. Maybe a stone will be reset. A band may eventually be resized. They’ll travel, wash dishes, hold babies, build careers, weather difficult seasons and hopefully still be sitting on those same hands decades from now.

That makes this photograph considerably more sentimental than it may appear today.

Wedding photography isn’t just about proving everything was there.

Sometimes it’s about recognizing what deserves to be remembered on its own.

And these absolutely do.
