I really don’t know how else I can introduce this – it was an absolutely gorgeous wedding! Tina & Niraj were truly spectacular on their special day at the San Jose Holiday Inn. The colors… the details… the emotions… (wait until you see some images from the vidai in my next post!)  – all were truly breathtaking!

It was so hard to narrow down to just a few images from the day, so in this post, I decided to include just photographs of the bride & groom preparations, a few details, our bride & groom shoot just before the day’s events began, and the baraat. The remaining events of the day (the ceremony, vidai, & reception) will follow in my next post in a day or two.

Thank you so much to Tina & Niraj & their families for such a wonderful celebration! We had an amazing time photographing your wedding! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Don’t forget to take a look at some of the images from Tina’s Mehndi celebration or the pre-wedding ceremonies in my previous posts as well!

This is the baraat or groom’s procession where he rides on a decorated horse accompanied by his family to meet his bride and her family.Got him this time! Tina actually came close to putting the garland around Niraj just seconds before this moment, but this one has got to be one of my favorites!It is also customary for the mother of the bride to feed the groom after the baraat (which traditionally might have been a long journey!), just before the wedding ceremony.More to come soon!
