Manisha and Narendra had such a wonderful wedding in Baltimore and were an absolute joy. I will say that it has been a while since I have been this tired after photographing a wedding. It was so much fun, there was so much energy, and we documented Friday and Saturday all day, it took almost everything we had to make it until the end of the reception.
We spent time at the harbor, overlooking the city of Baltimore – we walked around at night, there was some time on a bridge overlooking the streets, and so much more. This is just a small taste of what we captured – more to come.
Photographing such rich traditions and wonderful moments make it all worthwhile. I would live to personally thank Manisha and Nardendra, their families, the wonderful staff at the Renaissance Harborplace for being so accommodating to us, and all of the wedding guests that allowed us to enjoy our jobs every minute of the three days we were in Baltimore. It was a sincere pleasure to spend time with all of you and certainly hope we have the chance to do it again soon. Enjoy!
