As angelic, parasol-shaded bridesmaids descend the stairs leading to the traditional fabric draped mandap by Arlene Floral Designer, the bride prepares in her last moments before the traditional Pakistani wedding ceremony begins. On the veranda of the Tampa Marriott Waterside, the Pakistani bride and groom take part in the traditional Nikkah wedding ceremony. The groom wears a muted, light blue floral sherwani, which ensures the bride’s brighter sari will create a focal point in every image by Kimberly Photography. Floral ornaments hanging from the mandap help to define the wide open venue, to create depth and intimacy in the ceremony design. For more of this easy, breezy ceremony, check out the gallery!

More of this beautiful couple to come, including a port side portrait session! See you soon!

Hey, Maharanis! There is something to be said for sophisticated simplicity! This traditional Pakistani bride makes a departure from traditional red and gold for her Pakistani wedding ceremony, wearing natural makeup by Nereida the Makeup Artist, a light blue bridal sari and veil with silver trim and embroidery. A braided chignon and simple silver bridal accessories echo the patterns of the embroidery, while the bride’s glittering peep-toe shoes gesture toward decadence. In a portrait session with Kimberly Photography, the bride stands out beautifully among the whites and grays of the marina. For more of this bride’s natural beauty, visit the gallery!

See you soon to check out this effortless beauty’s heavenly outdoor Nikkah ceremony!

This reception party is all about FUN! I totally love these bright colors (sweet pink, bold blue, and hot orange!) and the iridescent crystal suspended in the background styled by Design House Decor. While Gio Jung Photography snaps away, ensuring this delightful couple will have a perfect wedding album to treasure, the bride and groom hit the dance floor to the music of DJ Gaurav.  The lighting by Chez Josef is perfection—so luminous! I am finishing up my day in the gallery!

See you all tomorrow for some beautiful wedding inspiration!

Oh, magic! With their ceremony complete, this majestic couple heads outdoors to a snow-covered bridge for some wintery wedding portraits. Gio Jung Photography captures the array of colors in this Maharani’s lengha and the joy this couple shares as they celebrate this happiest of all days amid a white wonderland. Up next we have a super festive reception decorated by Design House Decor with a feast for all prepared by Hearty Foods Catering. You are in for a treat! In the meantime, you can find me in the gallery!

See you at the reception!

Welcome back! You are just in time to witness this beautiful wedding at the  fashionably luminous Chez Josef. Our Maharani walks down the aisle at her super romantic ceremony to a mandap styled by Design House Decor with glittering crystal and soft, purple roses. I love how the pink and violet of the decor so perfectly complement this bride’s incredible gold and canary yellow lengha!  Gio Jung Photography takes some great close-ups so we can feel like we are actually in the front row of this shimmering event. Don’t you just feel the love? I’m heading to the gallery for some more!

See you super soon with some sweet, winter wonderland wedding portraits!
