Also, on a side note - I’ve been featured on two of my favourite blogs once again!

Sarah and Sanjoy’s Bengali-Hindu wedding took place at such a unique location - For the Ceremony, the Mandap was set up in front of the Ottawa River with a view of the  Ottawa Skyline at the back, where you could see the Parliament Building and the magnificent Chateau Laurier!  The ceremony was followed by a beautiful reception in the Great Hall of the Museum of Civilization.  A Sneak Peek of their wedding has been featured on Red, White, and Diamonds. Angee sure has a way with words! she makes everything sound soooo exquisite! Thank you Angee, for your continuous support!

Bela and Khurrum’s extravagant wedding that took place in two cities both equally beautiful and as unique as can be! Their Mehendi and Wedding Reception was at the Signature Grand in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We enjoyed the gorgeous beaches there along with the Palm Trees! And Signature Grand itself is a magnificent venue!  The Valima Reception took place at the Elegant Villa Borghese in upstate New York!

Asiya too has given me so much support! I love being featured on her blog Aaina!

Ayesha | Just because!

July 19, 2010

accentI’ve been playing with off camera flash a lot lately and it really helps a lot when you have sisters who will model for you and put up with your craziness! So on one of those crazy nights, I did Ayesha’s makeup and hair and then we started shooting - I was quite happy with the results.  Those of you who have been to my place will recognize my fancy studio space aka my bathroom. lol ;)

For the photographers out there, I set up a speedlight on a lightstand with pocket wizards and was shooting through an umbrella. I shot most of these at f11 and 100 ISO and used my 100mm 2.8L macro lens.  Enjoy!!

Today I got my Kelly Moore Bag! I ordered it a few months ago and have been waiting eagerly for it’s arrival…and today the nice mail man brought me this purty box! I was soooo excited to open it, but of course I had to document it all, so I pulled out my camera and started clicking away!  So I got the Grey Classic Kelly Moore Bag!  It is pure awesomeness in every way!

When I opened the box, this is what I saw….even the bag for the bag is nice!

I always shoot my portraits with the 50mm and I’ve been craving to get this 50 1.2 lens - and get those buttery smooth shots with the most delicious bokeh!
