Dalilah+Omar- the contest winners!

Wednesday, November 21, 2007

On November 18th, 2007 I photographed the winners of my free wedding photography contest – Dalilah and Omar. You can read their story and about the contest here .

The ceremony took place in their High Schools chapel “St. Francis Cabrini Shrine” in upper Manhattan and they celebrated with their families and friends at “The Riverview”, Hastings on Hudson, NY. I met really wonderful and open hearted people and had so much fun documenting this celebration. After talking to the priest I was sure giving this gift to the right people. Thank you so much Dalilah and Omar!!

It was a wonderful way to finish a very successful wedding season and as my appreciation I would like to announce another contest when I come back from vacation. Stay tuned!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Very tired but happy me with Dalilah and Omar

Deepti+Brian, Day 2- Part Two.

Tuesday, November 20, 2007

In the evening I went to Mirage Banquet Hall to photograph family gathering with performance from Deepti’s nieces. When I arrived I felt very welcomed by almost two hundred members of Deepti and Brian’s family!! I ate some of the best indian food and enjoyed the music and dances. Because of my mom I am a big fan of the indian culture since I remember myself. Growing up in Russia the indian movies were a big hit every-time it played in theaters. When I was a kid my mom would take me to every one of them and then later at night would dance and sing to me as I was falling asleep. Needless to say I cried as I was watching Deepti’s aunt dancing. She reminded me so much of her, even the face. I miss you mom!

Meet Brian!!
