Ashi & Umi Indian Wedding | Philadelphia Wedding Photographer

Sunday, July 5, 2009 Posted in Wedding

I’ve been looking forward to this post and I’m excited to finally see it come together.

Ashi & Umi’s wedding took place in Houston, Texas … and all their events were hotter than the weather. Awesome food … awesome people … awesome locations. 4 days. Numerous events. Partying, laughing, crying … and that was just me!! ha. This wedding was amazing … the colors, the events, the images. I don’t believe anyone got very much sleep!

But in the end … the most important thing happened. My friends, Ashi & Umi, are now married. And I am truly grateful that asked me to photograph such a special time in their lives.

Now, with have so many events its hard to narrow down images to blog … so I selected images from the main event, the wedding day – Saturday. OH … and be sure to take a look at their cake … holy amazing!!

I wish the two of you all the best !!

Thanks to my two new friends, Angelique & Debbie, for assisting me at a couple events. Both are photographers in the Houston area so go check them out
