Indian-Irish Wedding in Los Angeles

08.18.2009

Last weekends wedding was a blending of two cultures, Indian & Irish. The bride father was from India and her mother was from Ireland. The groom's family also has Irish roots. The wedding took place on the campus of Loyola Marymount University at the Sacred Heart Chapel and the reception was at the Marina del Rey Marriott. It was a super fun wedding with lots of laughter, dancing and joy. The couple and their families seemed to have a great time celebrating and I was thrilled to be a part of it. Lori & Katie from D & D Design did a marvelous job coordinating every last detail.

*A note about the processing of these photos: I've been playing around with some textures from the soon to be released "Dirty Pictures" from the people who brought you the Totally Rad Actions. What do you think? Yes? No? Maybe? I think used in moderation, I am going to be using them. My favorite one so far is called Booty LaRue.

This wedding was full of amazing details. Please don't forget to vote for your favorite images (as many as you'd like):

The ceremony was at the chapel at Loyola Marymount University. Notice the clock tower on the right... you'll see it again in another photograph.

I caught mom in mid wink as they walked down the aisle:

Oh my gosh, the maid of honor had the most amazing voice ever. Seriously she needs to try out for American Idol:

They had a Baraat ceremony where the groom rides in on a horse to be greeted by the bride's family:

Here's a little TwitVid I shot as they were getting revved up:

The bride had some sweet moves:

Here they are in some traditional Indian garb. Both his outfit and her dress were flown in from India from a the bride's aunt:

This is the view from the top of the hotel where the reception was held. This shot does not have a Dirty Pictures texture added to it... it's just what the sky looks like in LA! Just kidding! ;-) We had a great view of the marina and of their ceremony location.

I just liked this guys style so I shot one of my famous 1.2 portraits of him.

I hope Malinda Sheetz isn't in the witness protection program:

I loved these centerpieces:

These were shot on the helicopter landing pad atop the hotel:

To celebrate their Irish heritage, these lovely ladies performed some traditional Irish dances. If you'd like to book them for your next event, contact Kerry Records. These girls were amazing! There's another TwidVid below:

Thanks to Karen Ard who shot with me and got some wonderful images as well.
