Sonia and Nilay's wedding was highly anticipated as it was our first
Indian wedding. The wedding took place over four days and was held
primarily at the Radisson, Denarau Island in Fiji. Sometimes we get so
wrapped up in the details of the larger destination weddings that we
forget to stop and realize how cool it is to be working in a completely
new place/country and how special an honor it is that the clients
selected us from all the talented photographers in the world. Sonia
and Nilay are really two of the nicest, warmest, most laid-back people
you could ever meet. They seemed to glide through the events from day
to day despite how hectic it got at times. Thanks to Sonia and Nilay
and all of your family and friends for being so welcoming to us and
making us feel a part of the family - you were the first wedding
clients that have ever thanked us in the speeches, it really blew us
away!
Below is a selection of our favorite images from the 1st and 2nd day which included some fun in the sun, a cocktail reception, Mehndi (painting of the henna), a Kava ceremony, and a dinner reception. They may seem a bit random - but there was just SO many images to choose from it got a bit mind boggling. Please check back soon for the next installment of photos form the 3rd and 4th day.

Someone asked me yesterday if I thought that your photography was good. Being your Mom, I thought by saying of course that I was being biased. D after looking at these last photos I can honestly say that you do outstanding work. Please send me some business cards so I can get you a Palm Beach or Boca wedding.
I am so proud of you. Love, Mom
