Where do I begin?! October 3rd was quite a busy day for 6 of Four! While Katie had a team in Atlanta capturing Kalai and Neal’s wedding I had the pleasure, and honor, to be in Connecticut capturing the Indian wedding of Reema and Kartik at La Renaissance. With me I had a dear friend of ours, Shyla to help me document this gorgeous affair! We sincerely hope you enjoy the photographs, as it show the love of family and the value behind powerful photography.

Love these of Reema as she put together the finishing touches as she gets ready.

After the Baraat was the Milni, where members of the each family greeted each other. Then they played a little game. Here the mother’s of both, Reema and Kartik embrace…then they tried to see who could pick up the other, very fun!

Just before the ceremony we were able to squeeze in time to capture the couple.

The vidaai ceremony was perhaps my most favorite, as it was filled with such meaning. Traditionally it is when the bride leaves her house and family, relative and friends to be with her husband. While doing this she throws 5 fistfuls of rice to fall on the person behind her as a symbol of prosperity and wealth. In their case, as Reema left the ceremony, in this emotionally charged moment, she is accompanied by Kartik and his mom. Behind Reema is her mom, receiving the rice as it falls around and onto her. There were tears of joy, yet sorrow from both Reema and her mom as they walked out of the area the ceremonies took place.

After the vidaai, the couple loads up to head out for the reception.

Reception details were just lovely and was a true expression the couple.

    These are awesome. Shooting Indian weddings is always so much fun. And you clearly showed it!!

OK, I have to say this little wonder, Mary Anna, is just too cute! She’s my seven month old niece and I just can’t get enough of her. Don’t you agree that she’s just too cute?

    […] kept falling in love with our new niece. […]

Neal and Kalai were married a few weekends ago at the Cator Woolford Gardens here in Atlanta with the reception following at The King Plow Arts Center. The weather could not have been better especially with respect to all the rain we’ve been experiencing. Ruth and Regis were here to document the day under 6 of Four and we were honored to have their talent on board. As you can see from the images below they are quite talented!

Kalai and Neal live in New York, but chose to have their wedding locally near Kalai’s family. Bold American Events and Catering took care of the decor at both the wedding and reception. It was a great balance with a modern take to a traditional wedding. Bold, of course, never disappoints! Enjoy looking through the gorgeous images from the day. Feast your eyes upon all of the color and emotion the day held. Neal and Kalai, thank you for the honor of allowing 6 of Four to document this important day in your lives. It was truly an honor.

The lively barat that ushered in the groom with his side of the family.

Neal and Kalai set aside ample amounts of time for portraits which truly set the tone for their pictures and the pace to be able to capture them in their element.

I’m pretty sure Kalai can have whatever she wants when asking Neal with these eyes.

Their reception was gorgeous. I loved the design elements and the favor of tea each guest received.
