Hey, dolls! Grab some hiking gear because we're journeying to Kenya, Africa to see this adorable couple take portraits for their engagement shoot, courtesy of Keith Cephus Photography! The couple cannot look more excited and mesmerized by the vast African wildlife despite the arid landscape. The animals are so beautifully captured that it looks as if they're intentionally posing for the camera just like the twinkling twosome who's about to get married. The image of the peacock looks too good to be true! The colors are insanely vibrant! What a marvelous and majestic place to celebrate love!

It's time for a second sensational ceremony, my lovelies, and this dream scene is a floral fantasy! With a bright and tropical mandap designed by Mira Savara Events, our bride and groom are making their love official with plenty of style. Did you see those lush bouquets?! Those orchids are breathtaking! One Wedding Photography plays paparazzi at this luxurious affair, and they're sure to snap pics of every moment from the pretty and posh nuptials to the romantic reception. These two sweethearts are ready to dance long into the night, so while the Bollywood beats play, I'll be in the gallery admiring every detail! 

From the bride, on a special moment:

"Seeing my husband all decked out for the first time was really amazing."

On their first dance:

"We battled back and forth on a song for a long time and could not agree. Finally, my best friend picked a song for us and sang it at our wedding."

On friends and family helping out:

"I didn't want my friends and family to have to do any work at the event. I simply wanted them to come and enjoy all the festivities."

What a dream! Come back tomorrow, Maharanis, for more wedding magic!

Happy Tuesday, my darlings! I hope you brought your cutest strappy sandals, because we're heading to Hawaii with One Wedding Photography for a dazzling destination event that is as sweet as can be! The endlessly talented team from Mira Savara Events ensures that this is an unforgettably stylish affair, and both ceremonies (this celebration brings twice the gorgeous!) are posh and picture perfect. To kick off the festivities, our bride and groom tie the knot in a traditional Catholic service and Maharani Maile is absolutely enchanting in an elegant white lace gown. Such a romantic look! After posing for some darling portraits, our happy couple is off to prepare for their outdoor Hindu soiree. It's about to start, so come with me to check out the gallery! 

From the bride: 

"I met [my Raja] from mutual friends. I knew he was the one when I met his amazing family."

On her wedding style:

"I generally like subdued and earth toned colors, but I knew that this being a hindu wedding, I would need bolder colors. Peach, gold, and brown seemed like a good compromise."

On planning the event:

"Choosing the fabrics and colors for the mandap was really fun."

On choosing her bridal fashions:

"I trusted my mother-in-law completely to pick these out for me. I just told her my favorite colors and she did the rest."

On her hair and makeup:

"I had two hair and makeup trials until I got the vintage/glam look that I wanted."

 Love it! See you at the second ceremony up next!

Happy 2014, Maharanis! I hope you had a fantastic time ringing in the New Year and aren't too tired from all that dancing! How about we start the year off with a lesson in glam from our Best of 2013 E-Magazine?! Maharani Sandra is all things luxe as she primps and primes to perfection for her outdoor wedding in Portugal. This London-native beauty chooses a classic red lip and an updo with cascading curls that makes for a regal, romantic look.  Algarve Wedding Photography captures every bit of opulence of the bridal style and it definitely gets 3 golden stars from me!
