Prachi is a wonderful wife for surprising her husband Niral with a graduation party at Royal Albert's Palace! Niral was greeted with joy and happiness from family and friends. It was an honor to document his celebration. Niral just completed his masters of business, and I wish him the best of luck wherever the future may take him.

This shoot was slightly difficult. The room was rather small, and the ceilings were not attractive. The lighting was very inconsistent, but I worked through it. Luckily, both Prachi and Niral are thrilled with what they've seen so far. Here is what we documented:

Prachi requested photos of her and Niral, so we did a quick five minute session. So much construction was going on around the area, that I had to think pretty darn quick. Here is what we captured:

Prachi, Niral, and their families were so welcoming! I was glad to be able to capture this one :)

    All looks great to me. When I see an event portfolio nowadays I often think about the competition from all the smartphone photographers at an event. Great job!

    Thanks Gaby! I survived my first year of PT school, and I have off for this summer. I have a lot of really interesting shoots coming up, so I'll definitely be sharing more!

    If I didn't think you were awesome I'd have to hate you, because you are just too good :)thumb.gif

    LOVE the fountain in particular - nobody would know in a million years you weren't working in a picture-perfect spot.

    Processing on these is different than your usual, yes? A little less curves-y, and more "au naturel"?

    Haha! Thanks Diva! The processing was less "punchy" in the venue bc of the change in light. Some areas were warm and other areas cold. I still did my normal processing, but I had to be mindful to maintain the integrity of everyone's skin tones. Everyone would have turned out orange otherwise XD
