Minal loves Omi, Part II

Related Posts with Thumbnails

If you missed us yesterday, we are showcasing our very first celebrity wedding this week on Maharani Weddings. Our groom stars in the Bollywood blockbuster, The Three Idiots, and he chose one of our Platinum Guide members to capture his big day. (Can we pick ‘em or what?!)  Minal and Omi’s wedding day took place at the Palmdale Estate in Fremont, CA which is a fabulous place to get married in the Bay Area, because not only do they have a lovely outdoor space, but they even specialize in South Asian weddings.

From Vijay at Wedding Documentary : When I am photographing a couple, the "experience" is very important to me. I want my subjects, relaxed, feeling comfortable, and having a good time.  I believe only then will they reveal their true personalities and their inner beauty. What I love about my clients is that they put their complete trust and faith in me and I can make them look and feel better than they ever have while being photographed. 

I mix contemporary and modern portraiture, with traditional styles to create a well rounded photographic collection that allows my clients to have a variety of images with different looks and feelings. 

Usually, I ask the photographers to pick out their favorite shot of the day, but this time I just fell so in love with one frame, I didn’t even ask Vijay his choice!  This is one wedding image that I know ALL brides will want replicated on their special day.

Minal loves Omi, Part I

My girlfriends were up from LA over the weekend, and I think that they brought a bit of Hollywood charm with them.  Vijay Rakhra, of Wedding Documentary, sent me this wedding over the weekend, and it is our very first celebrity wedding to be debuted on Maharani Weddings!  Our groom, Omi Vaidya, stars in the Three Idiots, and if you haven’t seen this movie yet, you absolutely must.  And, don’t just take my word for it – the Three Idiots is the highest grossing Bollywood film of all time!  It is filled with  relatable Indian humor, and all of the idiosyncrasies that we love about our very dear, Indian parents.
