Kelly & Shomit’s wedding was absolutely spectacular! Their wedding was a double ceremony to honor their two families backgrounds. The wedding took place at the Silverado Resort in Napa. The first ceremony Indian style, followed later that afternoon by a Western ceremony. Kelvin & Eric photographed this wedding. The groom’s arrival on a white horse was spectacular!

The Bride’s family participated in all the Indian festivities:

The outdoor ceremony took place in the Grove:

Kelly & Shomit chose some very cool details for their guests to enjoy at the reception-a cigar lounge and cupcakes!

Kelvin photographed the wedding of Su-May & Ulas at Nestldown. What a gorgeous day in November! The bride got ready in the cottage before having a private meeting with Ulas. It’s so romantic when brides and grooms choose to see each other before the ceremony, because it’s a private moment for the two of them, one of the only private moments they will have together on their wedding day. It’s also great for the timeline, because by getting all the portraits done while everyone is fresh and relaxed is great. After the ceremony the couple can really enjoy their guests and their cocktail hour. It’s a great way to really relax and enjoy the day. Here’s the bride getting ready:

The private meeting of the couple in the fantasy garden:

Nestldown is a truely magical spot to get married. Thsi bridge is just to right of the ceremony area.

This is one of my favorite shots of the day. The DJ had a strobe light setup which makes the dancing really fun. Kelvin rocks!
