Tamanna & Mir Got Married And....Partied!!!

Color...I love color. I love them all chartreuse, hot pink, violet, peach. If it's named after a fruit or has a weird name that Josh doesn't understand bring it on. Which is why, when Josh told me that we had received an inquiry for an Indian reception, I freaked out. I mean you want to talk about color? Beautiful, gorgeous, vibrant colors? After I calmed down and met our lovely couple though my priorities shifted. I just wanted to deliver beautiful, vibrant images to match the energy and love that surges between Tamanna and Mir. I love color....but I love couples in love and their joyful families even more.

I was not disappointed.

Our weekend began with Josh arriving at the brides father's house to photograph the henna and the celebration afterwards. I don't think words are sufficient to describe the beauty of henna...







And the celebration began:




Color....it was everywhere on the day of the reception:



My favorite getting ready shot of the day done by Josh...



Tamanna's dad, Pankaj, was adorable. I thought he was such a handsome fellow (kind of reminded me of my dad).






After the getting ready shots, we headed to the Anthem Center (which by the way is a gorgeous venue), for some quick portraits during cocktail hour. 








Cocktail hour was amazing:








My favorite part of the reception was when Tamanna's nephews and their wives performed this hilarious skit about how Tamanna and Mir met. I mean they danced and there was props!!! Every wedding should have a skit.





There was cake and toasts, but afterwards the partying started, and there was a lot of partying!!! 










This was some pretty serious partying...I mean props were used!




We also set up an onsite studio set up for some fun guest photographs. We don't do this very often, but it's definitely fun to do! First off we had a prop of Mir's head on a stick. I think Mir got close to a lot of people that night...










Very close....




And of course we have a slideshow. Not just any slideshow though. The largest slideshow ever! Well, not really but at a whopping two thirty something images, it's huge. Enjoy!!!




Mir and Tamanna, we had so much fun with you and your family. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of such wonderful celebration. I can't wait to see you two take off in Hollywood!!!
