Wedding Documentary Photography and Videography Blog

Omi and Minal were married on August 22nd, 2008 at Palmdale Estates in Fremont and then had their wedding reception at the Fremont Marriott. Prior to the couple being announced to their 350 reception guests, we had some time to take some photos around the hotel. We went in the closed restaurant, in the lobby, out front, shot a variety of things, everywhere, and then decided to hit the workout room. We got shots of the bride and groom on the stair climbing machines, lifting wights and more! What is so great is that, this type of guerrilla wedding photography really fits the bride and groom’s personality and style. That is what being a wedding photographer is all about. You need to really get to know your clients, so they can be themselves, and only then, will you be able to truly capture their essence and create work they will appreciate forever.

So in the midst of our goofiness, we shot this clip of video on my Canon 5D Mark II. Have fun!

Spent a wonderful week editing the epic wedding of Nidhi and Somesh and it’s finally complete! I feel like I am an expert on photographing at Indian weddings now since I have went through all the footage so thoroughly….Maybe I will start dreaming in Sanskrit! But really, I love shooting Indian weddings because of the strong sense of tradition and culture, and the tight family bonds that Indian families typically have. Of course I love the colors too, but I also enjoy learning about people, and creating films and photos like these helps me do just that!

Nidhi and Somesh are some of the coolest people I know and I loved their wedding. This is what WeddingDocumentary.com did for them!

The three DVD set includes a 1.5 hour Sangeet video, a 1.5 hour Ceremony DVD, which also has the Barat, family photo sessions, and more on it, as well as, a final DVD for the reception which is another 1.5 hours! And we included a slide show which, you can see in the next post!

Here is a 5 minute recap of the best moments during the wedding day, which took place at the beautiful Ruby Hill winery called, Casa Real. This spectacular event center can accommodate large groups, so if you have 550 people attending your wedding, this is a great place to have it!

This highlights reel was shot with the Canon 5D Mark II camera, as well as, a Canon A1, and HV30 for the Mundap cam. Enjoy and leave some comments!

A great way to show family and friends your wedding day, other than looking at a wedding album is to have a wedding slide show! You can share slide shows with anyone world wide and they are fun to watch….over…..and over…..and over again! This is a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony photo slide show that was shot at Casa Real, Ruby Hill Winery in Livermore, California.

Slide shows are a great way to show off your favorite wedding day images in about five minutes. But boring slide shows are not our style. We want viewers to be entertained, moved by the music, and in awe of the effects that tie the photographs together to tell a story. Here is an example of a fast action slide show we can make!

Enjoy!
