Since Ambily & Jinu had their wedding in the fall, they wanted to make sure their engagement photos were in the spring/summer- Here are a couple photos from their engagement session. You can see more photos here.

The ladies got started at the house- I love the detail in Ambily’s wedding dress.

Her wedding shoes-

We had a brief moment, so I pulled Ambily aside for this photograph-

I caught up with the guys at the church. Jinu was looking pretty sharp on the limo bus-

Some of the pieces used in the Indian traditions.

The wedding bouquet-

I love the affection shown by Ambily’s dad- what a moment. I love being a wedding photographer! Seriously, out of all the hundreds of people in the sanctuary, there were only a handful of us who witnessed this moment-

These girls saw it- =)

I love the Indian saris

There is an Indian tradition of tying a necklace in a very specific manner. It’s easy to forget all the details…and that’s what brothers are for…to help in cases of emergencies. =)

Another important Indian tradition, the placing of the sari on the bride’s head-

After the ceremony, we headed out to Volkening Lake in Schaumburg, IL for our creative portrait session. We didn’t have a lot of time, so we made the most of the opportunity.

The bridal party was having a good time-

This was a photo they really wanted to take- It’s hilarious- Tiger- ROAR!

The reception was held at The Stonegate in Schaumburg, IL

At the reception, there were a bunch of Indian traditions, including the lighting of the lampstand-

The first dance-

Wonderful lighting at The Stonegate allowed for this photo-

And the skit begins! If you want to see Sebastian from the Little Mermaid make an appearance, you have to check out the photos on facebook- =)

Thanks you guys for having me! You guys were having so much fun! A memorable wedding in so many ways! But that guy playing Jinu’s dad wins for best actor! =) I wish you both the best as you continue to grow in your love and commitment to each other!

with love,
