neha and mohit: part one

neha and mohit were married on a summer day in june with the party lasting 4 festive days.  we were there from the start and thrilled to be a part of their wedding.  this was such an amazing experience since it was my first EVER indian wedding! it is like a fresh canvas to me. learning about their culture and the love they shared was beautiful.  the wedding was planned by ann whittington, who did a fabulous job. the entire wedding was perfectly orchestrated - leaving NO detail left untouched.

neha was surrounded by family and close friends during her 2-day pre-wedding festivities.  mohit celebrated with his family and then first saw neha at the ceremony.  the hindu wedding celebration is focused on rituals and centered around family. deeply rooted in tradition, the colors and sounds of this event were truly a unique experience AND the food was to die for!

neha wore two amazing and elaborate dresses; one for the ceremony and another for the reception. she was a stunning bride.  all of her attire and the details were brought in from india. check out all of the amazing colors from the family/guests. many kudos to neha and her mom for all of their hard work in the planning, too!

the wedding brought lots of joy and also some sorrow in watching their oldest daughter part from their family, which was very touching. this post will come in 3 OR 4 parts since i can not put all of them together in just one!  to start, i'll introduce the bride and groom, and then the festivities leading up to the ceremony.  enjoy.
