A few favorites from Vera and Alexander's Russian Orthodox Wedding at the Church of Holy Epiphany in Roslindale, Boston (with a sprinkling of 'getting ready' and reception pictures). Photographing my first orthodox wedding ceremony within the traditional church was true joy - a unique photographic experience in an intimate space embellished by colorful murals and ornamental finery, illuminated by the the mid-afternoon sunlight streaming through the tall clerestory windows,while the soulful music from the Choir in the mezzanine celebrated the union of the gorgeous couple and their families!

The Sector Omega-1 Wedding
in Weddings
Greater Noida is an amorphous entity in throes of its growing pains. Walled apartment complexes stretches as far as the eyes can see - with a generous share of vacant units serving as speculative investments. Makeshift real-estate offices with gold colored plastic chairs come to life every morning - on top of bare sidewalks adjacent to dusty expressways. The retail sector is yet to play catch up with the scattered residential developments and personal automobile is more a necessity than a luxury. The story of Greater Noida is probably not unlike the story of most other satellite towns that are sprouting beyond the burgeoning Indian megacities...
Perhaps the most beautiful milieu within "Sector Omega-1" was our friends Neha and Abhishek's wedding venue. The decorations were spectacular, splashes of orange, red and maroon completely transforming the barren park within the housing society, and a visual treat to photograph. Neha was gorgeous and Abhishek just wouldnt stop smiling. If only our 18month old toddler's bedtime routine didnt start at 6.30pm.... As a welcome photographic surprise, the annoying hot lights from the videographers gifted my frames the much appreciated back-lit highlights that I would've never gotten with my flash...
