Tejal & Nalin's Wedding Things have been a bit quiet on the front here since I (Jigar) just had a baby! As we're settling down, we're still catching up on some of the recent events we've covered.

In the last post, we showed you some of Tejal & Nalin's pre-wedding events. Now on to the wedding day itself....

To this day, I always wonder how the bride does it all...starting with make-up before 6am and ending the reception after midnight.

Ready??

Set??


Go!!


Welcoming Nalin...as we've mentioned before, this is the time where it's like a crush of humanity! So many people want to see what's going on. And with so much built up excitement, there's hardly room for the photographers!
But we still squeeze in for the shot ;)

Check out this cool Antharpath. The Antharpath is the cloth which separates the couple when the bride first arrives on the wedding mandap. Generally, the couple holds hands underneath this cloth, but this Antharpath was designed with a heart-shaped hole right in the middle. Aww...how schweet!


Hook Em! Longhorns all around! The groom, his sister, and seemingly everyone else in attendance were Texas alums.

A quieter moment as the bride's mother was waiting for her daughter to say her goodbyes. As I've said previously....sometimes these moments even bring tears to our eyes.

And moving onto the Reception...



Speaking of Longhorns...808 in the house!
Look at the cupcakes! Yum!

The traditional shot of the couple entering is getting them head on as they're waving to the crowd. While we make sure we get that, I just love trailing the couple as they enter and get the reaction of all of their guests.

The agenda for receptions has changed since we started doing weddings. There used to be speech after speech after speech interspersed with a couple of performances. Lately, couples have been skipping the lengthy speeches or performance for more fun stuff. In this case, the Tejal & Nalin played a game where they had to tell everyone who would have the final say on various moments in a married couple's life. Very rarely have I seen the entire reception hall so noisy....everyone really had a lot of fun with this one. That definitely makes it more fun for us as photographers too!

Just love Tejal's expression here

Definitely a Texan at heart...

On to the partying!

Congrats guys! I know you had a great time all weekend. Best wishes as you enjoy married life!
