Shri Laxmi Narayan Mandir Riverside Indian Hindu Wedding Ceremony – Priya & Krish

Ahmed — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 02:16:24 +0000

Priya and Krish held their Indian Hindu Wedding Ceremony at the Shri Laxmi Narayan Mandir in Riverside, California. This was the couple’s first Ceremony followed by their Sri Lankan one, so we had a great time working with them and their families as we had already gotten to know them and knew exactly what and when to shoot. Having shot at the location before gave us an additional advantage. Some of the lovely vendors we got to work with included Wedding Coordination by Amy from Planning Elegance, Dj-ing by Amit and Nishant from 3D Sounds and Shri Laxmi Narayan Mandir in Riverside. Both photography and videography were done by the AAcreation Photography team. Below are some of our favorite shots from the Indian Hindu Wedding Ceremony.
