Now as the full gallery of Imad&Aziza's wedding is ready (click here), we decided to share the beauty of their day with the rest of the world with this slideshow. Enjoy!

Imad+Aziza: Wedding Day!

The wedding season started out early for us this year, and we simply could not be happier about it. What a great way to step into 2009! The words are not enough to describe my excitement on that day. As many of you know, I am so in love with bright, vivid colors, that an Indian wedding for me is a day in a dreamland, in true paradise where everything is chic, festive, beyond believable, especially in the wintertime! I can't wait to share these images with all of you, so sit back and enjoy this wonderful story...

While getting visited by her girls Aziza is taking a peek at her makeup, which was done by Doug Howell, and was absolutely stunning.

I think I lived somewhere in India in my previous life, my admiration and love for this culture is not quite normal :)

Even the shoes sparkle!

We were all so fascinated my how calm Aziza was throughout the day. Perfectly happy, in perfect control, a perfect bride!

Final touches

You feeling the love, right..? :)

If someone would've asked me to describe what happiness is, what it looks and feels like, I would've simply showed this image. I think it says it all.

The images we adore and cherish the most are those that possess pure emotions, moments in time that cannot be intentionally repeated, they are one of a kind. Right then and there...
I have to say this moment below instantly got into my "absolute favorites" collection, and I guarantee it will stay there permanently.

Striking!

I could not stop myself from putting this picture up :) Aria, you stole my heart that night, you are only 6, yet so mature and gracious. I'm sure your mommy is so proud of you!

Mr&Mrs!!!

A real paparazzi scene, isn't it? I found it hilarious!

During Imad's best friend's toast. Thoughts and emotions.

...

HELP! The groom's shoes just got stolen!

Aziza's sister is saying her speech, which made me laugh&cry at the same time.

Grand exit of the married couple

Aziza&Imad! Thank you so much for allowing us document the most important day of your lives, for all the joy that we got to experience, for the love that we got to witness. And most importantly, for following us down the basement (or the lower level as they call it), as some very special images were created back there :) We can't wait to see what the future holds for you, and hope to stay connected and try getting together every time you come back to Boston.
Full wedding gallery is coming up very soon, so stay tuned.

And many many thanks to our one and only Doug Levy who joined our team for the day. It is always such a pleasure to shoot with you! We love you! (even though Tony refused to give you that cute hug near the stage, what can you do, he doesn't like to show his feelings in public)

Jaimison+Julie

This happy couple tied the knot a week ago, and I was honored to be a part of their big day thanks to my friend and a talented photographer Bob Pattison. We worked together before, and everything about shooting a wedding with him is enjoyable. If it wasn't for the camera in his hands, it would've been so easy to mistaken him for a regular guest - great attitude, lovely smile and astonishing calmness. In one word - impressive :)
I'm posting some of my favorites from the day, but you should definitely check out his blog for more.

Jaimison was very emotional during the ceremony what made my heart melt...

No spying!

I love this image, it makes me think :) I don't remember what the toast was about, but it clearly made each of them travel in time and remember something from the past or dream about the future...

Very ready for that cake!

What about this cute face?

Alex+Maria: "The Day After" Shoot

Recently we have been getting more and more inquiries about our “the day after” shoots, and we couldn’t help but notice that these sessions are becoming more and more popular with other photographers. How does the idea of cruising around the city with nothing but time, our creativity and cameras sound to you? Good? Well, here are several reasons for having a session like this: the pressure of the wedding day is long gone - there neither are no time constrains nor is there a limit on locations - you (the bride) don’t have to obsess about keeping your dress immaculately clean, which allows for some creative posing - plus, who wouldn’t have a desire to get all pumped up again and wear a wedding dress one more time? I totally would, and I did, and I’d love to do it again :) Also, by that time you are used to being in front of the cameras and it greatly shows in the created imagery.

Just because we call it “the day after” shoot, it doesn’t mean that we have to do it the next day. The session can be scheduled at any point in time, like in this case with Alex and Maria (post-honeymoon). So, if you want to take advantage of the beautiful environment away from the ceremony/reception area, but in your wedding attire, and create some awesome images, then this session is perfect for you.
Shoot us an email @ info at teamyuphoto dot com and we’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

We shot Alex&Maria in the heart of Boston with the idea to get some beautiful images that reflect some more of their personalities, their love for each other and for our fabulous city, of course.

Mmmm...

I love the feel of this one!

Huge thanks to our friend Doug for being the best reflector holder and simply a cool photographer :) Click here to check his images from the shoot.

Behind the scenes images are to follow!

Alex+Maria

Last month we were invited to our friend's wedding. That means we were actually attending a wedding as guests and were given a rare chance of enjoying the celebration from behind the table :) Well, guess what? Shortly after the beginning of the reception we both ended up grabbing our cameras from the trunk of our car and the rest is history ;) Is there something like Wedding Photography Addicts Anonymous?

Check out gorgeous and extremely talented Melina, on my opinion, the best performer around here. I've known her for years, and I've seen her dance once or twice a week on a regular basis. Believe it or not, she still blows my mind each and every single time I see her do her magic.

How about that?

Mike decided to get in on the action!

Family

Surprisingly, we both picked this shot as one of our favs ! Total escape into the music :)

Just married!

Stay tuned to some images from their "Day after" shoot. Actually more like a week after :)

Brian + Kathleen

Since we didn't get lucky enough with the weather on Brian and Kathleen's engagement session, all of us truly waited for some sunshine on the day of the wedding. Well, in spite of all our hopes, the weather surprised us once again with a heavy downpour and with that special kind of rain that didn't stop all day. Brian is a Boston firefighter, so I guess water in this case is a great symbol for this couple, at least that is what I tend to believe. Moreover, in our culture people get excited about the rain during weddings, because it symbolizes prosperity in the future of the couple.

Whatever the weather ended up like, nothing could stand on our way, we were determined to have a great Irish celebration. And we all did. If you know Brian&Kat, you'll agree that these two are a great match. The ceremony was so emotional for us, the dance floor at the reception was packed and we saw some incredible & wild moves we haven't seen before :)
Here are some of the images, enjoy!

Kathleen has an amazing personality, and when you are next to her, you just get covered by simplicity of happiness head to toes.
She always has a smile on her face, she laughs, she truly enjoys life. With Brian that is :)

Mr&Mrs J! Congratulations to both of you and to your families again, and thank you for sharing this special day with us.
Can't wait to hear about Hawaii!
