I love Hindu ceremonies.  All of the thought that goes into each part – the deliberateness, the symbolism, and intent put toward conveying the gravity of the commitment and the meaning behind it is so beautiful.  When Josh and Rupa came to us, they asked that we take all of that beauty and create artful images that just happened to have them in them.  They wanted the whole picture represented in their wedding photographs and while we were sure to get the close-up emotions as well, it was a lot of fun shooting this wedding with the big picture in mind.  Here are a few of our favorites from the day.  Hope you enjoy them!

The couple was married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in downtown Knoxville.

I love this pano Sean got just outside of the Knoxville Museum of Art.  Panoramic images are some of our favorites and they always make such great wall art.

The rings…

And finally, the couple’s first dance to a great band on a beautiful evening…

Thanks for looking. =0) Have a great week everyone!

 

We had a wonderful weekend a few days back with Rupa and Josh, celebrating their wedding.  They are creatives, each in their own right, and they share our love for composition, light, and artistic imagery.  Add to that a beautiful Indian celebration full of tradition, color, and love everywhere — what more could we ask for?

Here are a few favorites from their engagement session the day before.  Can’t wait to share more with you from their wedding!

Violet is one year old as of mid July and now that we’re finding the slightest bit of relief from all this heat, we got out to commemorate her milestone with a photo shoot. Seven and Violet are best buds, so we brought him along for a few photos of them together. These will be so much fun to look back on when they’re older. =)

V’s grandparents came along too.  I love grandparent photos. =)

And of course Mom and Dad had to get in on the action – them and Violet’s baby brother who is expected to make his debut at the end of October…

Happy Birthday Miss Violet! We love you! =)
