Couples List

It was one of those things we had to do as a couple. Like kissing under the mistletoe at a company party or kissing each other when the clock strikes midnight on New Years (you can see where my head is).

To Neeva we had to start crossing things off our “couples list” and we HAD to go to New York City and see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. So on a slow weekend in December we headed up to New York City with a mission.

Unfortunately neither of us are New Yorkers and really don’t know New York all too well. Both of us like shiny flashy things and get distracted easily so even though our mission was to see the Christmas Tree we made many little detours including going to Times Square Toys R Us (greatest place ever!), a two hour lunch at a restaurant with a wine cellar that needed an elevator (we sat down hoping to see it in action….and we did!) and pictures with random people on the street.

(the power of an Iphone…camera)

We eventually made it to Rockefeller Center and were able to see the beautiful Christmas tree and were able to finally cross that off our list of things to do.

Next item to cross off….get married.

Shanthi and Tayan Sri Lankan Wedding in Washington, DC

She. Never. Stopped. Smiling… Ever.  It was as if her then boyfriend (now husband), put a spell on her that could never be broken. An intrinsic spell of perpetual happiness the moment he got down on one knee. Since that day she would fiddle with her ring, talk about him with puppy dog eyes and laugh at every joke he made. They were madly in love and a couple meant to be.

After all it was as if fate wrote their love story. They met at a benefit dinner, randomly on campus while out with friends. Without any mutual connections, they met by chance through an accidental “bump” while getting through the crowd. They randomly began talking, then laughing and the more they talked the more they realized how fate had stepped in and allowed them to meet. After a night of randomly talking to a stranger that captured his heart, Tayan simply had to make the next move and win her heart.

Shanthi began getting ready in her home, completely relaxed and childishly excited. She was like a girl on Christmas eve waiting to open the greatest present ever. She patiently waited as Sanobar put the final touches on her makeup, hair and helped Shanthi get into her Sari. With flowers in her hair and in a traditional Sri Lankan Sari she looked simply breath taking. After a few adoring looks from her family and friends we headed off to McCrillis Gardens for some couples photography time with her and Tayan followed by family formals.

During their couples shoot, Tayan’s jaw dropped the moment he saw his beautiful future wife, he simply loved Shanthi’s elegance and beauty. They simply fell in each others arms, held each other tight and gave us an hour to get some amazing photographs of just the two of them.

The wedding and reception took place at the Tysons Corner Hilton in McLean, VA. Their decor was a traditional Sri Lankan with beautiful flower garlands and a gorgeous mandap for the two of them to get married under created and designed by Partyland Flowers and Event Decor. Their ceremony was a traditional Sri Lankan ceremony interspersed with games and laugher.

The reception followed with moving speeches, loving family and people dancing all night. Shanthi and Tayan it was an honor to capture your wedding, we hope you two never stop smiling.

Maya And Cam’s Hunt Valley Golf Club Wedding and Downtown Baltimore Hyatt Regency Reception

He is a Raven’s fan, regardless of growing up in New Zealand, living in London, not watching a single football game before meeting his future wife and never setting foot into Ravens Stadium before his wedding. He loves Tiffany’s Jewelry not because he’s ever worn it, bought into the hype, or loves their little blue boxes. He is in love and simply will do anything and everything to make Maya happy. It’s the little things that they do for each other, the way they hold hands, look into each other’s eyes and make each other laugh that you know instinctively they were meant to be.

Cam met Maya when she came to London on a work rotation, it was Cam’s job to take care of her and make sure that she adjusted well while on her rotation. A job Cam has still not given up (talk about a dedicated employee)! The moment they met they hit it off, laughing, talking and simply enjoying each others company. While in London for that short period of time they were inseparable, going everywhere together, seeing everything and  learning each others culture. Primarily about Raven’s football and Haka Rugby.

After Maya’s rotation was over and she moved back to New York was when Cam knew he couldn’t live without her and in true sleepless in Seattle combined with Pretty Woman fashion he flew to New York, trumped down to   5th ave, found the closest Tiffany’s store bought a ring and proposed.

Maya and Cam’s wedding took place at the Hunt Valley Golf Club, minutes from Maya’s home, a golf club right down the street from where Maya grew up and a location where Maya use to work. The grounds were gorgeous is the October cold were turning the leaves the perfect shade of fall. The cool fall breeze was refreshing and added a beautiful dimension to their images.

The Baarat occurred in true golf club style with the groom ushered in on a golf cart to his beautiful bride, after the wedding we were able to tour parts of the golf course to get beautiful pictures of our bride and groom, they were even able to hit a few balls around while waiting for family!

The reception took place in downtown Baltimore right outside the Baltimore Harbor at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Hotel. Once again the photography gods were kind to us as we were able to head out to the harbor for some beautiful sunset photographs of our couple. After which our bride and groom were able to dance the night away at their beautiful reception with heartfelt speeches, wonderful food and friends from all walks of life.

Maya and Cam it was an absolute honor to photograph your wedding, we love the two of you and hope you love the images as much as we do.

Vita and Samir Baltimore Waterfront Marriott Wedding Teaser

 

Vita and Samir are currently on their honeymoon, Samir was told that he is “prohibited” to use his phone on their honeymoon. Not in the cutesy “ohh if you love me you’ll spend time with me and no checking you e-mail” prohibited, but more like “if you use your phone it will end up in the ocean along with everything else you own” prohibited. But if you two end up checking the blog and see the images on your honeymoon hopefully it doesn’t cost Samir any money:) 

Vita and Samir’s wedding took place at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott with decor from Manju from Shagun Weddings. More images and a full post to come!
