Romance at the Loews Hotel in Chicago

/

Things are heating up here at Le Cape. Serena + Kylash threw the house out of the window with their wonderful wedding reception. Not only it was beautiful, I could swear all their guests were at the dance floor for hours thanks to DJ Krush and his team. There is a reason why these images went viral…

If people walked together, that would be a good thing...

Serena and Kylash have walked the best 4 days of their lives! Congratulations for finding each other in the midst of so many people. These two make love feel so easy… so real. We are in love to say the least!

The rest of their story is for another day… (sigh!)

Talk about connecting with our couples...

/

Engagement sessions is our favorite way to connect with our couples, as we get to see them interact with each other, and practice being in front of the camera. While the session is completely different than the wedding itself, we get to feel their way of connecting with one another, and more often than not, we end up chatting about their wedding and all the fun they are planning for the big day.

This is Monica and Michael, two people with the sweetest personalities. You see them smiling in every photo, not because they were nervous in front of the camera, but these two are such a flirt! and to this, we call being in love!

I love that they didn’t wear glamorous outfits, but instead they photographed true to themselves. Seriously, two honest people with a genuine heart!

Invited to a Sangeet for the first time?

/

If you ever get invited to a Hindu, Punjabi or a Gujurati wedding event, and you see the word “Sangeet” or “Garba” it means festival of music. It is by far our favorite day of our 4-day Indian weddings. In most Sangeets or Garbas, depending on their religious background (usually depends whether the couple is from the north or the south of India), couples perform in front of their guests, and their families put together quite the show for the night!

We start our Sangeet/Garba celebrations by taking a creative session with our bride & groom. This session was a thirty minute window before their program began. Monica is not only the most photogenic bride we’ve had all year round, but also had a contagious smile that warmed everyones hearts while working with her and her handsome groom.

To start the program, Monica and Pratik lit up a candle and had a religious ceremony at the altar. Then they danced around the altar. All guests were invited to do this challenging dance, even if they didn’t know the steps; while the expert crowds danced non-stop as the music and the difficulty of the dance continuously got faster and harder.
