As most of you know, one of my bestest girlys got married last week.  It was such a fantabulous wedding!! soo many details so many memories!!! Everything was just lovelyYY!!

First off I would like to pass on my best wishes to the gorgeous couple!!! Sarah and Saf…love you both loads!!! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your wedding!  Everything was simply divine and gorgeously gorgeous!!! I can’t stop reminiscing about the wedding :) 

In the next few days I am going to be posting about the different events in the Wedding Week (Bridal Shower, Mehendi, Shaadi, Valima, etc.) along with a few highlights. So stay tuned! You are going to enjoy this!!!  

This time I have detail shots from the Bridal Shower for you guys. We had so much fun putting it all together for Sarah. The theme was Turquoise and white with Pink accents.  Sarah being the bride was also dressed in pink.  We decorated the room with Pink Tulips and blue/turquoise/silver and white balloons. For dessert we had the most delicious vanilla cupcakes and we ended the evening with Chinese Food!! SOOO GOOD!!

It was such a gorgeous day - perfect for the Bridal Shower!

Have a look at some of the detail shots below:

accentI recently attended a wedding reception in Toronto at the Pearson Convention Center.  Everything at the wedding was simply gorgeous, so many intricate details, the stunning colours, the presentation…but what really blew me away was the ambiance created by the musicians that night.  As we entered the hall everyone commented on the music and how ‘real or live’ it sounded even though the DJ was playing it…but as we approched the stage we received a wonderful surprise.  The Bride & Groom had arranged a special treat for all their guests - They had live classical music…but this wasn’t just any ordinary live background music…These were Traditional Indian Musicians playing the Tabla and the Sitar.   We had the fortune of enjoying the night with Prosad and his Tabla companion’s beautiful music.

All night long everyone kept complementing the wonderful tunes of the Sitar and Tabla - so I decided to head over to the musicians myself  and of course take my camera along. I was casually clicking away when I realized that they had their CDs there for people to purchase.  I picked up their CDs and I don’t know what came over me next but I decided to ask Prosad if I could use his music to complement my Photography online.

Prosad was extremely humble and sincere and of course obliged. We exchanged a few words and ideas and then I headed back to my table super happy & super excited. 

Prosad, I feel honoured in using your music and look forward to working with you in the future.

So anyone out there looking for some musicians for your weddings, you know who to call! You will have nothing but good things to say after!

Visit www.sitartoronto.com for more details.

The song used in the ‘Portfolio’ section is called ‘Raag Malkosh’ and is one of Prosad’s pieces. 

Have a look at some of the shots I got of them.

I have always hated wearing my camera strap around my neck because I just find the length weird and the camera just hangs really awkwardly so I’ve been on the lookout for longer camera straps.  I found some longer Camera Straps but they were just so meh….I wanted something that was full of pizzaz and functionality.  I looked and looked and then came across Trendy Camera Straps….went on their site and fell in love with this design. Isn’t it the happiest pattern and colour EVER??? It took me no time to order one for myself and finally after 5 days which felt like an eternity….I got my strap in the mail. OMG OMG OMG it’s nothing but PERFECT! It’s soft, the quality is amazing the fabric is gorgeous and its justttttt PERFECT!! (did I already say that?) :) haha 

I am soo happy with my Trendy Camera Strap and would recommend it to anyone.  They have Designs for Women and for Men! And for those of you who don’t have an SLR….they have the cutest straps for little point and shoots! Do have a look at their site!  

I’m going to enjoy me some Yellow Polka Dot Happiness!!

Hey!!! I have been so busy lately trying to keep up with everything  but I finally managed  to get my Green Fix!  Most of you probably don’t know this, but I’m also a Landscape Designer and Plants are my weakness! I love anything and everything to do with plants (except bugs).  So over the years I’ve managed to collect quite a wide variety of plants and species from all over the place.  I’ve seen them grow and just cant help but feel a little proud of my little babies :)  

These are just a few of my favourite plants!!!  I find the unique characteristics of each plant so intriguing. The leaf shape, colour, texture…everything that makes it SO perfect! And the Green just has the most soothing affect. 

Hope you enjoy my babies too! I would love to hear about some of your favourties! :)
