Sonal Shah, the wedding planner for the wedding I shot in Central Park, NYC, was recently featured in Asiana Wedding International Magazine, and I was happy to discover on Sonal’s blog that a couple of my company’s photographs were used in the article.

The two largest images on the right-facing page were from this wedding and shot by my second shooter on this wedding, Jane Zarzynski, who I was so happy to have join me on the trip.  One of these images was also used in Crain’s New York Business publication when Sonal was featured there recently as well.

Faiza + Kamran : An Indian Wedding in NYC’s Central Park

A Muslim Indian/Pakistani wedding that was destined to be too big if held in their hometown in Georgia was beautifully located in the Boathouse Restaurant in New York City’s Central Park, the site of Faiza and Kamran’s first date (…their first date after growing up as close friends all those years…).  A wonderful love story for a strong, beautiful couple and a wedding that I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of.   Thank you, Faiza and Kamran, for allowing me to be a part of your special day and weekend.

I’d also like to thank Sonal Shah, for introducing them to me and taking care of the couple and families with your amazing event planning skills and professional team; Jane Zarzynski, for your wonderful support second shooting and exploring The City with me, and to Johnny and Lane of Life Stream Video, you were a pleasure to work with.

No photos or video are allowed during a Muslim wedding ceremony. The ceremony itself takes place mostly sitting in chairs and is inspiring with its quiet prayers and blessings.  These images below were shot after the ceremony and heading into the reception:

It had been raining all day so we were elated when the clouds dried up just in time after the wedding to grab some outdoor portraits at a place of significance for Faiza and Kamran.

A sneak peek with more to come from this amazing wedding very soon…

These images are from Faiza and Kamran’s mehendi and garba event at the Vermillion Restaurant the night before their wedding at the Boathouse in New York City’s Central Park.  What a fun and colorful evening of celebration!
