Priyanka and Tushar are getting married next weekend and one week before their wedding we did this engagement session so we could meet them in person and have some fun doing a few shots. Just the night before, this lucky couple had their engagement party at their home with their family and friends. They were very easy to photograph and looked extremely natural on camera. They are very much in love and we cannot wait to photograph and film their wedding this coming weekend in Carmel and Monterey! Thank God the rain is gone because I have a feeling it is going to be a spectacular wedding!

We have been photographing weddings more and more in the Monterey and Carmel area. We think it is one of the prettiest parts of California and since we live in Los Gatos, we are very close to the area. If you are in need of an Indian wedding photographer in Santa Cruz, Monterey, Salinas, Marina, or Carmel, give Wedding Documentary Photo + Cinema a call. We would love to hear from you!

Kavita + Roman | San Francisco Engagement Session

Our wedding season is finally coming to end. We had such an amazing year with so many amazing clients. I really cannot believe how fast it all went by. We now are wrapping up all the loose ends from our wedding season and getting everyone’s album orders submitted so they can have their books in time for the holidays. Having a fast turnaround is so important to us so we have been working harder than most studios the entire year! Our average turnaround time for wedding photos was about 3 weeks overall after the wedding day and albums in less than two months! We always met every single goal for wedding films and delivered within 3 months!

Now is the time of the year where we start getting ready for the next wedding season! We meet with new clients, work on our marketing materials and business goals, as well as start photographing a ton more engagements for couples that are tying the knot in 2012! We kick off December with Kavita and Roman’s beautiful engagement below!

Kavita and Roman are having a combined Sikh and Hindu wedding in January of 2012. Their multi-day event is going to be a ton of fun, simply because this couple is awesome! As you can see from the photos below, they are huge Philadelphia Eagles fans so they rocked their jerseys for our e-session. Talk about awesome fans!

Although it was a little cold and windy in San Francisco at Palace of Fine Arts and Baker Beach in San Francisco, we had an amazing time hanging out and getting these fabulous shots. We love Kavita’s Jimmy Choo’s and her beautiful engagement ring. These two really know how to work it for the camera!

Stay tuned for their amazing wedding photos which will be sure to be even better than these!

The weather is changing and it is starting to get cold here in the San Francisco Bay Area. But that did not stop this amazing engagement shoot from happening! Rathna and Ashok made their way down from Sacramento to meet up with us for their e-session and we had a blast! Even though it was cold, and yes, raining, we had a wonderful time and we are very much looking forward to their wedding next summer!

This engagement session took place at the Legion of Honor and Baker Beach in San Francisco. Two of the best locations for a San Francisco engagement shoot!

Maryam and Kamyar | Engagement Session in Santa Cruz

wpid9745-storyboardcomp001.jpg

I was quite thrilled to head over to Santa Cruz last week to do an engagement photo shoot session with Maryam and Kamyar because it finally looks like summer has arrived! I feel like this summer was not that hot overall and every time I did go to the coastal areas there was a ton of fog. Now that all the tourists have left back to their cities and the kids are in school, summer has finally arrived in Santa Cruz, blessing us with beautiful weather and gorgeous sunsets!

We started our shoot at one of my favorite beaches, Natural Bridges. This beach has an awesome rock in the ocean making it the perfect focal point as a background element in portraits. Also, because of the way the beach is sort of the corner, the direction of the light is more frontal than from the side, if that makes sense to you non photo people out there.

We had a ton of fun shooting with them because Maryam and Kamyar literally needed no posing! They are so playful with one another that it was quite simple to get natural, beautiful looking portraits without a lot of “posing”.

After we had our shots down in the sand on the beach we headed down West Cliff Ave to visit one of my other favorite spots where we could capture a few sunset shots overlooking the ocean on the cliff. I really like how unique all the images turned out and I cannot wait to shoot their Persian wedding in just a few weeks!

Enjoy the photos and have a great weekend!
