Time flies! It seems like only recently that I was photographing Ramna and Yogesh’s beautiful Engagement ceremony in Fremont… With the final preparations and ceremonies underway, the energy, excitement, and emotion about their upcoming wedding (as you’ll see!) begins to build like a crescendo. Starting quietly with just a few close family members at her parents home, Ramna was decorated with absolutely beautiful henna designs, incredibly rich with detail. And while I was only there for a short while to photograph this special time, I distinctly remember Ramna telling me how relaxing the process was for her – being able to just enjoy and savor this time of preparation. A little respite after so many months of busy planning…

There were so many beautiful images from the Mehndi. I’ve included just a sampling of some of my favorites here. And with more events to come, each with more dazzling colors and beautiful details, I find myself turning to that old saying – the one that is probably way overused, but nevertheless very appropriate here: You aint seen nothin’ yet!

For now, enjoy this first sneak peek and many many warm congratulations to Ramna & Yogesh!
