Where to begin?! This day was jam packed with awesome colors, clothes, styles, people, events, traditions, music, emotions…hard to believe it all fit into one day. I know I say this alot…but I had an extra hard time picking out blog teasers for this one….so prepare yourself for a long post. 🙂

Brandon warned me way ahead of time that not only were there going to be 9 groomsmen, but that they were all extreme characters. He didn’t let me down. I had myself a very hard laugh during the process of taking individual shots of them…this was captured by my friend Kevin Hengler, from 49th Street Photography, while I was wiping the tears from my eyes from laughing so hard. Kevin caught the image of the exact moment that one of the groomsmen gave another a super extreme spanking. You can’t really tell from the image just how hard that love tap was, but then Kevin happened to catch a following image of that spanker examining his aching hand afterward. Thanks Kevin for helping capture the priceless moments. 🙂

With the time crunch, I stayed with Pooja to get some shots of her while she was relaxed and fresh…so I also happened to get a view from above of Brandon on his fantastic horse at the same time Matt was getting his shot from below.

Brandon, did I tell you I was proud of you for not falling off? ..well, I am. Well played, my friend.

And just in case you’re wondering…no, squeezing the grooms nose is not part of the tradition. That’s just Pooja’s mother’s way of welcoming him to the fam. hahaha

As attending my first Indian wedding, I was fascinated with the whole process. The ceremony begins with the Groom being escorted by the Bride’s father, and continues for a while before the Bride enters into the ceremony.

The reception switched the celebrations into American mode, with Pooja in a stunning bridal gown, and Brandon handsome in his tux. They played this funny game using their shoes to answer questions, showing just how well they know each other. Humm…looks like they disagreed for this one… 😉

Words cannot describe the awesomeness that was this wedding. We had a terrific time and hope that the teasers get everyone excited to see MUCH more photo goodness. Congrats Pooja & Brandon!!!!
