Month: August 2008

Erin and Chirag's Christian ceremony was held on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor where they met.  The colors didn't stop today with a beautiful combination of coral, brown, and yellow…and sunflowers everywhere!

Erin and Chirag decided to shoot all their portraits before the ceremony, which gave us several hours to explore the campus…

The parasols were so great for photography, but I must be attracted to quirkiness…this is my very, very favorite (Erin…your hands are perfect!):

What a great party … the dance floor was packed until after midnight…this was an amazing group of dancers …from the kids who had all the moves to at least 10 couples who knew the actions to Thriller…we loved it and loved photographing it! 

Erin and Chirag – thank you for including us in your wonderful event!  We hope you are having amazing adventures in Thailand and beyond!   Talk to you soon!

Shooting our first Hindu ceremony was wonderful.  While we had prepped ourselves on the elements of the ceremony and what to expect, we want to thank Chirag's family and friends' as they helped us and pointed out key things not to miss.

Stay tuned for our next post of Erin and Chirag's Christian ceremony…

Wow …. what an amazing experience to photograph Erin and Chirag's Hindu/Christian Wedding in Ann Arbor, Michigan!  First, thank you so much for hiring us…it was such a pleasure meeting you and your families!

This wedding will take several posts so I really want to begin with the fascinating process of the women preparing Erin for the Hindu Ceremony.  From the fabrics to the jewelry to just witnessing such an intimate ritual was so interesting and wonderful to photograph:
