Shrina’s Mehndi Night in Fremont, CA

You probably saw Shrina and Biren’s awesome wedding photos at the Oakland Rotunda but now we want to show you some of the pre events that happened before the big day! Two days before the wedding Shrina had her Mehndi done by Ravie Kattaura, one of the Bay Area’s most sought after Mehndi artists. Shrina had a beautiful geometric design put on her hands and feet and got a cool photo session while the Mehndi was still dark and fresh! Family and friends partied the night away and took many rounds of shots and screamed “Opa!” every time! Scroll through to see just a few of the images and remember to always have photography at your Mehndi because you will want to preserve this time in your life forever!

Anuja’s Mehndi Night

Mehndi_Photos_01

Anuja had her beautiful Mehndi done two days before her wedding by the amazing Ravie Kattaura! The design is completely original including a dancer (for the bride) and a sitar player (for the groom). I love how the glitter matched her decor and outfit. We had a great time photographing her Mehndi at her parent’s home in Hayward. The entire wedding events spanned over three days and we have the Sangeet coming up next. Stay tuned!

Kavita’s Mehndi Night in San Jose

Back in action for another amazing year! I am so excited about Kavita and Roman’s three day wedding! They had a Mehndi night, a Sikh ceremony, and then a Hindu ceremony and reception the following day. At the Mehndi I had the pleasure of working alongside Neeta Sharma. She is one of the most creative Mehndi artists I know and always incorporates a lot of the bride and groom’s personality into the Mehndi design. As you can see, Neeta has included a portrait of Kavita’s beloved dog, as well as, the logo of Roman’s favorite football team, the Philadelphia Eagles. My favorite part is the mini photo session we do with the bride once the Mehndi has been applied but before it starts to flake off. Stay tuned for more beautiful images of Kavita and Roman’s Indian wedding!

Vanisha’s Mehndi Highlights

Vanisha had a Mehndi party at her home in the Monterey area two days before her wedding. We had the pleasure of photographing the event and also making this short highlights reel of the party. Ravie Kattaura is the amazing Mehndi artist at work in this video and we hope you enjoy it! This song is now one of my favorites!
