Jodi and Vip
Sometimes things in life are better when mixed. Peas and carrots. Peanut butter and jelly. Salt and pepper. Life has a way of uniting elements in such a way that two separate things are enhanced when they combine. This works the same way with certain people. Jodi and Vip are such people. They mix in such a way that they’re better together. Salt and Pepper.
Their wedding was a unique blend of cultures and to describe the wedding as beautiful would be an understatement. Jodi orchestrated a day full of details and planned two weddings in one day. Knowing they wanted both a Hindu and a traditional Christian ceremony at the Inn of the Seventh Ray in Los Angeles, Vip and Jodi hosted their guests to a day filled with intimacy, joy, and tons of delicious Indian food. With help from Angelica of Green Weddings, the wedding—complete with a hand-crafted Indian Mandap, gorgeous flower arrangements in every nook, and customized designed centerpieces—was a complete success.
Part of what makes Jodi and Vip so successful is their circle of friends. Just after the toasts were given during the reception, Vip asked for the microphone and addressed his guests. This isn’t unusual. However, when he went table by table and thanked their families, his friends from medical school, and Jodi’s amazing friends, one couldn’t help but feel the warmth and kindness emanate from his heart.

Here are a few from last Saturday…
(There are a LOT of pictures, but seeing how there were two ceremonies and it's my last wedding of the year...I thought it'd be okay!) :)

Placing a garland around Vip's neck was Jodi's first act as an Indian bride

Katie...little do you realize that I was keeping a close eye on your Indian wedding work while we were hanging out in TN!! :) I guess you can say I learn from other great photographers! :) hehe
Ah, thanks! It is an experience that you have to live to understand! I love the second shot. Very nice depth and that lighting. Love it, love it!
Hey Jas, these are gorgeous images. I specially like the 2nd shot and the one with the angel in the foreground.
See you around.
Wonderful pictures! My favorite is #3. It's a beautiful capture. #1 is a close runner-up for me. I think the b/w allows you to see the detail in her jewelry.
Great shots! Your work is amazing! I hope we get to work together someday :)
Thanks SO MUCH for the kind words! Y'all make me feel warm and fuzzy :)
Gorgeous Jasmine!! I love Indian Weddings and you captured this one beautifully!
