Reena + Mani | Love-Story

I first heard from Reena a few weeks ago. She was so disappointed with her wedding photos that she couldn’t resist doing a "re-take". . . just to have some frame-worthy photos. Once she realized the importance of wedding photos, I was so honored that she trusted me with the special job. She flew me out to the OC and we had a great time at the magnificent St. Regis

We started out in their wedding outfits. Reena’s Manish Malhotra-Exclusive-Lahenga was gorgeous!

Reena loved this painting while Mani (of course) loved the bar!

I could shoot at the St. Regis ALL DAY!

After shooting inside the amazing hotel, we headed out the private-hotel-beach for a few casual shots. 
Reena changed into another awesome designer outfit by the talented Sabyasachi.

I hope it wasn’t the way I looked that kept making Reena crack-up into the best laughter I’ve ever seen/heard. . . she insisted it was my Punjabi that she found so funny!

The OC light was perfect and Reena’s laugh could light-up aLL of Los Angeles.

Overall, I’m soo so happy with how I was able to document this love-story!  (even Reena gave it a thumbs-UP)

    I have to say, your work is amazing! I absolutley LOVE it! I can’t thank you enough. You have great technical skill to get pictures … who sees them are amazed and say things like, “these aren’t just wedding photos! …. Thanks again for all your hard work.
