Couple’s often ask us about general ideas and thoughts for their weddings. And our answer is pretty much always the same. We’re definitely no experts on weddings per se, but we’ve been to a few by now, and there’s one thing we’ve picked up on: The more real you keep it, the better. Don’t put…
It’s that time of year again. The time when wedding season slowly gets less crazy in this part of the world, and there’s room for other things than just shooting and editing. The gong-show is winding down, so to speak. We’ve still got a few weddings to go this season, but we’re over the hump….

Awesome image fellows! Enjoy your recharge break!
Beautiful portrait!!
If you are implying you’ll be having some sort of workshop, shame on the Army for moving me from Seattle to North Carolina because I’d KILL to go.
oh.my.
Stunning and SUCH a tease.
Excelente.
Beautifull light and most beautifull bride eyes. Only the back light i would try to clean in PS to dont disturb me and center me in the bride eyes. Excelent shoot

Images that push the envelope for wedding photography are so inspiring. Keep up the good work!
Oh my god, love the lighting on this. Must see more.
Wonderful image!
Does interesting and dramatic light follow you guys around everywhere? Sheesh!
ridiculous. beyond ridiculous actually.
Yup.
So rad!!
ridiculous!
Stunning composition. Great shot :)
Amazing photo, congratulations!
Woah! Ace image!
Now that’s a shot.
Yeah, that’s alright. Really, really alright!
OMG that pic is just perfect!!
LOVE!
Beautiful! So creative.
Thursday, warm-up. Saturday, ceremony day. Sunday, time to celebrate. Susan and Jag didn’t want the typical, traditional indian wedding photos. They wanted something else, something different, which is why they got in touch with us in the first place. We had never done a Sikh wedding before, so our fresh vision was exactly what they…

see, the thing I like about this is….um, ya..everything.
Very nice work.
Beautiful people and beautiful shots, as always. Looks like they had a real good time (and I bet you had too!) Cheers
You guys drive me bananas!! Just when I think it can’t get any better, you step it up a notch. CRAZY AMAZING WORK!!
AMAZING!!!! What a beautiful wedding! You guys ROCK :)
WOW – shockingly great. I love watching your photos. Congrats.
oh. my. gosh. this wedding looks insanely amazing. and you guys seriously killed it. wowza. awesome job telling their story.
WOW! What an opportunity fellas… and you NAILED it!
This is definitely fresh vision. Unreal.
Brilliant. Absolutely. I really like how you photograph each and everything happening around you, very photo-journalistic approach. It’s so good to see emotions, moments being photographed as they happen rather than being made to happen.
It’s good that one is new to a certain style of wedding and rituals so it becomes easier to picture and photograph. If a person who doesn’t know the wedding rituals of a Christian wedding, might turn out some images that are never taken by others. Something similar did work here for you.
I am glad that you like Indian style of wedding. When it comes to Music, we Indian’s are one crazy bunch.
This is one of the most beautifully-shot, gorgeous weddings I have ever seen. You inspire me to work so much harder.
Wow. Just..wow.
I just love you guys. I mean, really.
you guys always find the right light.
I want to buy the book of this one. Oh, and the soundtrack CD.
dudes.. you just keep raising the awesome & slapping me in the face with it! master-blasters!
too…. much…. awesome
Epic! Those Sunday couple shots at the construction site are mind blowing!
Absolutely beautiful.
In particular, the image of the bread baker int he white apron just blows me away. It looks like a classical painting.
And that’s game over.
Wow. The detail shots are amazing, the black and white is perfect, and the wedding is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Great images.
you guys are amazing. this is killer boys.
You made my day with this set!
You guys never cease to impress. All around stunning and possibly the best post I’ve seen all summer….. from anyone!
you guys… this is unreal. this might possibly be one of the best i’ve ever seen. i don’t know what else to say. the way you see things is almost haunting.
unreal.
Indian weddings are always so colorful! Such awesome pics!
WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW
Simple, I´m dead!
this post made me swear. amazingly amazing!
Lots of moments of love and laughter captured – great work.
Most photographers have a “high point” in their posts, a part of the day that you can clearly see they were more comfortable with the setting that other parts of the day. Your work is consistently brilliant and that for me is the mark of an artist. You have a beautiful way of seeing and seamlessly translate that into frames.
These images just blow me away, guys. You bring great story-telling to a whole new artistic level with this set. Just wow.
I am a huge fan of the hand shots. There’s so much emotion and energy there but it’s subtle and quiet and gorgeous. The photos of the couple at the construction site are just *epic*.
Your work just gets better and better guys! Love the henna shots, really stunning!
first Sikh wedding that i absolutely love! its definitely refreshing.
Amazing work!!
That’s absolutely wonderful!

Jenny - Really freakin’ awesome!
Casey - I like what you wrote about “being real.” I say that to others too. Sometimes I wonder what a wedding would be like if there was no wedding dress, no tuxedo, and no fancy venue. Just family, friends, and the couple. I’d imagine people would be their most genuine selves.
