Shefali and Thierry's wedding was a 3 Day extravaganza! Full of love, excitement and wedded bliss.
It was definitely one of the most challenging weddings I have ever photographed - with 3 days of events, 2 ceremonies, 2 cities, a movie set, over 400 guests and hundreds of amazing awe-inspiring images to prove it ;)
This is the wedding jewelry that Shefali wore for the Hindu ceremony, so intricate and beautiful.
One last call to Thierry before the ceremony, so sweet.
I love this photograph! Shefali looks like a goddess.
Traditional Mehendi designs were applied to Shefali's hands and feet a few days before the ceremony. Here is a detail of the intricate design.
Last minute touch-ups before Shafali's grand entrance.
Thierry arrived at the Polish Cultural Center first and is greeted by all of their friends and family who welcome him with songs and colorful dance.
Thierry is received and welcomed by Shefali's family at the entrance of the wedding venue.
