Vineet and Jackie: Minneapolis wedding

I loved photographing Jackie and Vineet’s wedding.  It was two weddings in one day; a traditional Hindu ceremony followed by a traditional Lutheran ceremony.

Jackie and Vineet went to college together and were around each other often when her sorority and his fraternity hung out.  After being together throughout the years of college, the two moved out to the East cost.  Vineet took a position with the US Navy and for the past 6 months has been serving our country on the waters, only getting about a 10 day break to see Jackie and his family.  While at sea, Jackie took a teaching job and planned their wedding across the country with the help of her mother.

The two reconnected only a few weeks before their wedding day, making the celebration an even more glorious occasion.  Many blessings to the both of you as you start your life together, it was a joy to work with all of you!

Vineet and Jackie: Details

Vineet and Jackie were two extraordinarily fun people to work with.  I was so excited when I booked their wedding last July because I knew that it would be completely amazing.  Not only had they planned a traditional Hindu ceremony, but they had a traditional Lutheran ceremony as well.  It was like 2 weddings in one, and I was one of the lucky recipients to be involved in both.

They started off their day in the traditional Hindu dress.  I was was awestruck at how amazing all the relatives were at helping the girls get ready in their brightly colored Sari’s and extravagant jewelry.  My assistant Steph and I had a blast running around these busy ladies and photographing all the details.

Each part of the Hindu ceremony was traditional and very beautiful.  The girls carried these down the asile and the maid of honor carried the most extravagant one with the most significance.

The ceremony itself was something I had never expierenced before and it was truly colorful and beautiful.

After the event of the Hindu ceremony, everyone quickly changed and entered in the traditional Lutheran garb.  The blues were a beautiful theme throughout the day.  The other most wonderful addition to the day was that Vineet is in the Navy and wore his uniform.  I love photographing men in uniform.  Put a beautiful bride next to him and I am in love with the photos!

More of this beautiful couple to come tomorrow.  I can’t wait to share more!

      Mark and Katie: St. Paul engagement

      I had the privilege of meeting Katie at a wedding I was shooting last summer.  She was one of the bridesmaids.  I was beyond thrilled to work with her again when she asked if I would be willing to shoot her wedding!  I met her and Mark at her place on a windy Saturday afternoon.  They had chosen a place Katie was very familiar with and one that was special to them.  Her parents used to take her on walks around the beautiful campus of St. Kate’s in St. Paul when she was a child.  Now she and Mark walk their dog regularly around the campus.

      Mark brought along his collector car for some of the photos. On their wedding day, they will be riding away in his dad’s beautiful white collector Porsche.
