There wedding was very elegant.   The reception and Chinese Tea Ceremony took place at the Princeton Marriot Hotel. Alison changed into a gorgeous red gown to honor their relatives by serving tea.  What a beautiful way to show respect.  Alison and Drew’s first dance was to the song “I won’t dance” which was awesome!  Drew needed some coaxing to dance:)  Guests danced the night away to the music of Elegant Ensembles.

Alison and Drew- thank you so much for allowing me to capture your day.  It was a pleasure.

This wedding was a first for me in many ways.  It was my first Indian wedding.  The colors and traditions were so beautiful to behold.  During the reception, Sarah surprised Vinoj with an elaborate dance, and by elaborate, I mean 20 dancers in vibrant costumes dancing for 11 minutes!  I was exhausted just watching them….but thrilled beyond words to be witnessing.  The family had also prepared a movie for all 300 guests.  Everyone piled onto the dancefloor to watch the movie..and the reactions were priceless.   I was amazed to see how much love and joy everyone felt.  I was truly blessed to be a part of the day:)

So the funniest first for me was that I met Sarah and Vinoj on their actual wedding day!  Vinoj lives in LA, so it was easiest for us to meet over skype.  And let me tell you…he is hilarious!  I mean, he had me cracking up the whole time.  The funny thing was, you could tell Vinoj’s humor was a trait that Sarah loved about him.  I caught so many natural smiles and laughter between the two of them…it made me smile while editing.  Smiling is contagious I guess.

Thank you and Sarah and Vinoj for allowing me to document your day.  You and your family were a joy. I wish you both much love and happiness:)

Ocean Cliff is an amazing venue and offers spectacular views of the Newport bridge…truly a beautiful New England destination.  Cat and Jeremy made quite a dashing couple.  The gorgeous flowers we put together by Philadelphia florist Chartreuse.

I had so much fun…congratulations Cat & Jeremy!!!

Enjoy!

The day was spectacular, not a cloud in sight.  Dina and Tom were so calm and excited to be getting married…it all was so natural.  When I arrived Dina was getting her beautiful long hair done, accented with flowers.  She seemed to float on air in her custom hemp gown.  I especially loved their wedding bands…they were both inscribed with in gealic ” gra anois agus go deo” which means Love now and forever.  Isn’t that beautiful?!

The ceremony was held in front of the rustic log cabin that they decorated with sunflowers and quilts.  Dina came down the isle to a Beatles’ song  played on acoustic guitar. It was such a special moment to witness…

Thank you so much Dina and Tom for allowing me to be a part of your special day.  I had such a wonderful time.  I wish you both lots of love and happiness:)
