This was my first Indian Orthodox wedding and I had a fabulous day! From the prayers in the morning with all of Deepti’s family to the New York Yankee’s themed entrance at the Radisson, it was a fun day! Here are some of my favorite images from the day. Congratulations Deepti and Jake and I wish you all the best in NYC.
Yes!!!! These ARE the shoes…ok – only those of you who are shoe lovers will recognize these. They are the blue shoes from the Sex and The City movie (Manolo Blahnik’s). 
They are gorgeous!
Before the ceremony Deepti was blessed in her family home with friends and family present. Her sister and parents are behind her.
The ceremony was held in the church St. Basil’s Ukrainian Catholic Parish.
I love this image of Deepti’s younger sister and maid of honour during the ceremony.
The priest is blessing Deepti during the necklace ceremony.
Deepti’s gorgeous Sari is placed on her head. It was very heavy and weighs about 5-10 lbs.
Jake ties the min pendant around Deepti’s neck during the ceremony. The threads used are from Deepti’s sari and she wears the necklaces all day.
First stop was the second last day of the Fringe Festival in Old Strathcona. We had fun walking through there briefly and taking photos.
The awesome bridal party!
I loved the light at Commerce Place – the sun was setting and bouncing off the red/orange glass of Scotia place.

Damn you, Rachel!
I was at Holt Renfrew not to long ago and I saw those Manolo’s and I thought, “I would kill to be able to shoot these shoes! I hope Rachel gets a bride who has these shoes!” and guess what? I was checking out the blog and there they are! Lucky you! And lucky bride to wear them! Great job on the images. Beautiful as always!!

Nice work! I really like the pose where they are back to back with the bride looking backwards over the groom’s shoulder! Killer shot!
