A few weeks ago we headed down south to The Crossings at Carlsbad and shot the awesome Shyam and Reena! I knew it was going to be a great day because Meridith, Kristen and Sarah at the Crossings are A M A Z I N G to work with! I seriously LOVE every time we go down there because there are so many places to shoot as well as the service is outstanding! plus ridiculous mushroom ravioli!! SOO GOOD! In addition to this it was going to be a traditional Indian wedding full of festivities all day long and ending the night with some incredible tunes and dancing!
Some of my favorite! They got ready at the Sheraton across the street.. Here are some getting ready pics..


There is a price for fashion



I love the henna..






I love the processional of all of Shyam’s side to meet his bride and her family..

the ceremony site..




I love all the colors..


Part of the festivities the bridesmaids try to steel the grooms shoes.. if they are successful in stealing them during the ceremony then they are able to sell them back for big bucks..

Reena’s sister was a hard bargain and worked out quite a nice deal.. then after Shaym paid her she asked him how much the other shoe was worth.. Smart thinking…










Then one of my favorite parts of the night.. the dancing music.. I dont ever really get a chance to go out on the dancefloor.. but I think Kristin catches me quite a bit.. you got to get out there to get the shots right… right..




It was such an awesome day.. only about 100 degrees or so for a several hour outdoor ceremony but it was totally worth it!! We got some killer stuff and will be so excited for my next Indian wedding
