For this shoot, the family originally planned to meet at a park, but as we talked more, staying on their own property made more sense- and I am so glad we did! The trees in Readington were bursting with fall color which Kanan took note of when choosing outfits. The peaceful surroundings and picturesque views, added something truly special to every shot.

I think the girls had lots of fun giggling and laughing in their own backyard, and of course their energy brought the photos to life in the best way! It’s always amazing to see families relax and just enjoy the moment together—it makes for the most authentic and heartfelt images. We were even surprised by a sudden passover of a hot air balloon! I know- only in NJ!

Here's a sneak peek...I can’t wait to share the final gallery with the lovely Balakrishnan family and show them how beautifully their love and connection shined through. 📸❤️ Let me know in the comments below if you have any favs!

Thank you to Kanan and Binu for choosing to capture these beautiful moments, while helping out the needy pachyderms at the and Please visit the https://www.elephants.com and http://www.blesele.org to see the important work being done to help these gentle giants.

I knew when the date was booked for Puja's Mehendi/Sangeet that it will be a very colorful and fun event. And indeed it was! The bride-to-be looked absolutely beautiful in a pink and orange lehenga outfit, with a lot of mirror work on the choli. You will notice in many shots the mirror reflects light onto Puja's face.

There was non-stop dancing, music (folk songs sung by relatives), food, mehendi ( ) and most of all fun and many smiles! Traditions practiced for eons came to life towards the end for a Hindu pooja. You will see in the pics when the well wishers tie tasseled bangles on the bride-to-be's hands and she shook them over bachelors and bachelorettes. The broken tassels predict who will be the next to walk down the aisle! There were tears during the ceremony, where in India meant that the bride-to-be will soon be leaving her childhood home to join her husband's family in his town or village. All in all, the event was lively and cheerful!

The next day Puja looked absolutely stunning in her reception outfit, and the venue was arranged gorgeously with so many beautiful flower arrangements, etc. The new couple had two special drinks called "Mint to Be", and "Something Blue;" how cute! Again there was much dancing and non-stop energy at the reception. The desserts were mind-blowing, with so many varieties of sweets from India, and the regulars, including a station for bananas foster and other delicious treats!
