I wanted to save this for last, it is one of the final weddings of 2010 that I was proud of. It was my first Indian Wedding and beautiful. A culture that I just love, the food, the dancing, the music, the people, everything! WOW! The ladies are beautiful, the guys are hot! MAN! amazing! I was nervous and excited about this wedding but after meeting with the Patel’s, they made me feel right at home. This is part 1 of 2 blog postings of this 2 and a half day event. First it starts with Thursday evening when I went to see Shaz get the Henna tatoo or what is called the Mendi. Then Friday I went to Virju’s house to take part in a ceremony with him and an amazing party that evening. Later I will blog part 2 of the events that took place Saturday and the wedding ceremony and portrait session. I hope this opens the door to more amazing Indian and other culture weddings, I think it is amazing to see how others across the world express love and share their love to one another :) ENJOY part 1 :) !

I LOVE IT!!! Here is that next moment for Chris and Shanelle. Meet baby Thomas! I had the honor to capture a few images of this precious little man before Christmas and loved every minute of it. And it was great to see this next part of their life start for them, I can not wait to watch him grow and watch their family grow together :) Enjoy!
