Indian Wedding: Nitasha & Otis

As a photographer, I can honestly say that the idea of photographing an Indian wedding had me daydreaming for months. And even though it rained like cats and dogs, Nitasha and Otis' wedding day was spectacular. The Renaissance Hotel in Raleigh was top notch and I got a two-for-one wedding extravaganza. First, a gloriously colorful Hindu wedding ceremony, followed by a beautiful Christian wedding. It was a touching day and it was obvious to everyone that a lot of thought went in to each and every detail. I couldn't help but post a lot of images - Nitasha had 3 dresses! And the amazing confection by Swank Cake Design was a piece of art. Check out some of my favorites! Not a bad way to spend a rainy day :)

Be sure to check out their wedding slideshow!
































Nitasha's brother wrote and sang their first dance song...

The bridal party had a choreographed Bollywood routine - so amazing!



Renowned spinner, DJ Paradime kept the dance floor packed all night...



Thank you Swank Cake Design for this awesome cake...

Raleigh Wedding Photography: Heather and Derek

Another beautiful autumnal wedding for McCardell Photography! Jonathan and Judy headed out to Raleigh for Heather and Derek's nuptials at Montague Pond. It was an intimate lakeside ceremony and the reception was held in a clear tent, allowing all the vibrant fall colors come though. Check out the good times!
