Brenda loves Jitesh, Part II

We are featuring a fusion wedding today that is so very special.  Brenda and Jitesh were recently married in Toronto, and their wedding was shot by Andrew, from Andrew Adams Photography. When I read the bio about the lovebirds, the one thing that stood out to me is how important family is to the couple.  The depth of their family bond really stands out when you take a look at these pictures from their ceremony. And, Brenda makes such a lovely Sikh bride…

 
 
 
There are two things that really set Andrew's work apart in my mind.  First, he uses totally original concepts in photography.  Second, he can actually execute these concepts with precision and expertise.  The results, distinct memories you will cherish forever.

 

Fusion brides have the questions all wedding junkies live for…how am I going to fit in all these glorious parties?!  Well here is how Brenda and Jitesh did it:

Brenda love Jitesh, Part I

Some of my favorite weddings to feature are fusion weddings, because they are overflowing with the two essentials for a great wedding - creativity and love. Brenda and Jitesh got married last month in a celebration that was bursting at the seams with culture and tradition.  It was extremely important to the couple to incorporate both aspects of Indian and Chinese culture into their wedding week.  Definitely difficult, definitely time consuming, and definitely drop dead gorgeous. Check out this eye candy from Andrew Adams Photography:

 


 
 
From the lovely bride : Last December we took a trip (my now husband, his parents, myself and my mom) to India and bought A LOT of the stuff for the wedding, including my lehnga for the ceremony and my sari for the reception.  Planning the wedding was a challenge because Jitesh is based out of Chicago and I was based out of Toronto.  To complicate things further, we both travel for work, and I was out of town on weekdays for most of 2009.  So we decided to hire Jodie, from the Social Butterfly, the to help us with day-of coordination, to ensure that the reception went smoothly and that we and our families were able to enjoy it and not have to worry about the logistics of the event.

Aren’t they adorable?  More amazing shots from Andrew Adams coming up in a bit – stay put!
