Shaira and Anand’s Indian Wedding in New York City — Day 3, The Day!

And were go…Day Three, the final day.  After 2 prior days of celebrations and rituals the wedding day arrives and more beautiful than then other days combined.  I wish I could blog all the images.  There are just too many beautiful images to blog!

Venue for day three: The Pierre Hotel, Hair and Makeup: Karuna Chani, Cinematography:Naheem Vohra, Photography: Alain Martinez, and bringing us all together and planning the event: Preeti Shah

Check out this sick makeup job from Karuna Chani

Here we go, probably my best candid moment ever below.  The older sister could not hold her tears when she saw her sister so beautiful and turned away so she wouldn’t make her sister cry.  Shaira is about to cry herself but breathes heavily to control those tears.  Beautiful moment which I’m glad I was able to capture.

The first look!

The cinematographer Naheem had this great shot planned out for the video of falling flowers and I was able to get a shot of it too while he was filming.

Of course it’s not one of my brides if I don’t make her climb something unsafe but the shots are always worth it.

And then off to the reception…

a few shots taken with the reception outfit.

I hope you have enjoyed this collection of images from 3 days of shooting.  I certainly enjoyed working with this family immensely.  I’m going to try to catch up with my blogging duties as much as possible so keep it locked here for more hotness very soon.

Shaira and Anand I hope you like your images as much as I enjoyed shooting them for you.  We wish you a lifetime of happiness.
