One of the events just before Nadia and Girish’s wedding was Nadia’s Mehendi, or her henna party, which took place in the gorgeous event space in their building. Nadia and her henna were absolutely stunning!
Both young and playful, the husband-to-be made sure to take advantage of Nadia’s now henna-covered (and defenseless) status. They are such an adorable couple!
It was definitely a beautiful and colorful event, and we are glad to have been a part of it.
Fast cars, fast motorcycles, billiards, a love of anything red, shiny, and jingly, all wrapped up into a 4’11″ package. That pretty much describes my friend Patti who asked me to shoot her wedding one day out of the blue. She and her husband Jeff are both fun loving and were completely open to suggestions, like Jeff, wearing Patti’s shawl thing.
Totally manly! Anyway! The wedding was a fairly traditional Chinese wedding, with tea ceremonies and games that started out at Patti’s parent’s house.
Once complete it was off to Jeff’s parents place to repeat the tea ceremony, as well as to a nearby park for some fun and casual wedding party formals.
Then it was off to the amazing Linden Place in Flushing for the reception and partying.
The after party (yes, after party), was held at Carom Billiards, which was conveniently next door.
P.S. They had the cutest heart shaped tape measures as wedding favors.
Perfect for making sure I keep my tummy in check. =)
