Rachel and Sonny’s Stunning Indian Wedding Slideshow

I know we’re a few blog posts behind and readers have been emailing us excited to see the posts from our AWESOME weddings we’ve been lucky enough to photograph this summer. They have been especially anticipating the wedding we photographed in India a few weeks back. We’ll post some pics soon…  There are just SOOOO many amazing images from the weddings this summer and we have to narrow the post down to about 10 shots! Hard work with all of the cute couples we’ve had ;) If you’ve been reading the blog lately you’ll remember the last post we wrote about Rachel and Sonny’s engagement shoot in Oakville. They just had their beautiful Indian wedding this Saturday and it was a spectacular event!

This year it seems that almost all of our clients have been really excited to get a Same Day Wedding Sideshow to present at the reception. It’s such an amazing thing for newlyweds to experience all of the parts of the day they didn’t get to see during the reception. We love the way it makes our clients feel and it has soo much power and emotion when it’s presented on the day they’re married. What an incredible job we have photographing some of the most meaningful moments of a couples live and documenting it forever. We truly love what we do!

Rachel and Sonny had such a gorgeous Sikh wedding. All of the vibrant colours, dancing, music, and love from family and friends made for one incredible wedding experience. Sonny was looking rather charming when he arrived to the temple on horseback. Little Rylie, their five year old daughter, was ecstatic to ride along with Sonny to meet Rachel at the temple. You could tell that she felt like a little movie star up there as she waved and giggled at the crowd! She was so adorable!!

Rachel waited in the limo as Sonny arrived and when it was time for her to walk down the aisle she looked absolutely gorgeous!!! She took our breath away with her beauty, what a stunning bride.

Here is what we presented at the reception. It was so nice to be able to share these images with Rachel and Sonny so soon after the ceremony. We know how much these images will mean to them through out their lives and we were so happy that we could be there to enjoy their day with them! Thanks Rachel, Sonny and little Rylie!!!

Oakville Engagement Session

Awwww, Rachel and Sonny, the best couple ever and so in love! They’re the couple that scored the coveted July 18th date so many couples were after. We must have had 20 inquires for their wedding date. When Rachel came by our studio last year to chat about their wedding plans we asked her to tell us about Sonny since he was away working at the time. Her face just lit up when she began to speak about him. You could see he truly was her prince charming and for good reason!!

Rachel and Sonny met in a very serendipitous manner. Rachel, a nurse in Oakville was enjoying her lunch when a handsome doctor from the I.C.U got down on one knee beside her. It seemed she had dropped her napkin and the charming gentleman was coming to her rescue… It’s better than any romance novel I’ve ever read and it’s how they first met and soon after fell in love :)

I think Sonny officially wins Most Romantic Proposal of the Year. Wait till you hear how he he did it… Rachel really, really loved this gorgeous photograph she had of an oak tree in Central Park by photographer Ralf Uicker. She would mention how it always brought a feeling of peace and serenity whenever she looked at it. Sonny loved how the photograph made Rachel feel and really wanted a way to bring her closer to the image she felt such a connection with.

One day Sonny took Rachel to New York City and they went for a leisurely stroll in Central Park. They somehow came across the same tree in the photograph that Rachel had always loved and held close to her heart. Sonny got down on one knee (this time for real) and asked beautiful Rachel to make him the happiest man on earth and become his forever.

Now for the most romantic part of their story. Sonny tracked down the photographer, Ralf Uicker in New York City and asked if he could buy the camera that took that meaningful photograph. Ralf was kind enough to autograph and sell the camera to Sonny so that he could give it to Rachel as an engagement gift. Dave and I are so honoured to be photographing a portion of their wedding with the this very camera (the Plaubel Makina W67).
