Amar & Leigh Ann: Orange County
Amar and Leigh Ann are two of the most loving and sincere people. They share an intensity for relationships with people that is rare to find. During their engagement session, Amar's quiet exterior opened up to reveal a very humorous side. All afternoon he had us laughing and enjoying his intelligent humor. Leigh Ann's caring and compassionate heart overwhelms everyone she comes across. It was such a delight getting to know these two. Not to mention they were awesome sports when the afternoon turned into a rainy day! The umbrella came in handy for some fun vineyard shots.
Amar and Leigh Ann's wedding hit a very personal spot in our heart with their cross cultural event. The wedding ceremony was held at a Sikh Temple in Orange County honoring Amar's cultural and religious background. The wedding, true to any Indian festivity, was filled with color, love and a great deal of joy. Leigh Ann looked amazing as she adorned herself in the most beautiful of traditional Indian wedding garments, jewelry and mehndi (henna). Anyone who has experienced an Indian wedding knows it's filled with amazing detail.
It's traditional for the groom to have his face covered so he can't see his bride until she enters the Temple. Prior to the actual ceremony, there is a celebration with the family where the bride and groom give each other a floral garland. Once they have embraced each other in this manner, their family continues the tradition with each member of the family embracing one another in anticipation for the union of two families. They then enter the temple, groom first, his family removes his veil, the bride enters and they begin their entrance into married life together. You'll see in the pictures the part where Amar leads with a sword, promising protection to Leigh Ann, while Leigh Ann follows holding onto the scarf placed around Amar's shoulders. This is a sign of respect for her husband as they enter into married life together. It's a beautiful representation of two people choosing to put each other first.
After these two became husband and wife, they left to prepare for their second event of the day. The evening had a beautiful reception awaiting them. They changed from their traditional Indian wedding outfits to a beautiful evening gown and sharp suit. It's always a wonderful experience to see two cultures intertwined so effortlessly.
Once the reception was on way, the party began. True to any Indian wedding, the dance floor is the place to be. Amar and Leigh Ann's passion for one another and fun loving hearts lit up the reception. They never ceased to have a smile on their face and were continuously drawn to one another. It was truly a blessing to share in their wedding day and capture the memories of the joy filled celebration of their marriage.
At the end of the night, during their last dance together, Amar and Leigh Ann shared a moment that reflected the love and adoration they have for one another. It was the perfect ending to an incredible day of fun filled festivities. We enjoyed getting to know Amar and Leigh Ann so much and their genuine love is such a beautiful gift to everyone around them. Thank you both for allowing us to capture your wedding day. And as we said earlier, it's been awhile since we've really updated our blogs and our weddings. In the time between their wedding and now, they've been blessed with a beautiful baby boy! Congratulations on not only the beginning of your married life together, but your new family!
