Nikhil + Paige

Retro Inspired Wedding Day | One Eleven East

filed in:

I just feel like I need to say…. prepare yourself. Prepare yourself for some of the most gorgeously styled details I’ve ever photographed. Prepare yourself for fun portraits and the sweetest ceremony and lastly, prepare yourself for some serious JOY!!

These two know how to style and throw a party (or two… or three!) but what they are true experts in is creating an atmosphere of pure joy. Nikhil and Paige are the type of people that you spend time with and walk away saying “They are JUST THE SWEETEST”. It’s true. They radiate joy and happiness and it’s so much fun to be in their presence. Their wedding celebration started mid-week last week. We flew into Austin on Thursday and photographed their intimate Hindu ceremony on Friday and then their American wedding on Sunday. The colors, the details, the thought that went into it all…. it was just so impressive. Paige, my sweet friend, you outdid yourself. Your hard work paid off and you managed to have a beautifully styled wedding where nothing strayed from the theme while also having a truly meaningful and joyful celebration as well. That is HARD to do. It’s hard to make it visually perfect but also sentimental and focused on your commitment to one another…. but you made it happen! It was absolutely perfect. What an honor it was to capture it all for you!!!!

Friends, don’t miss the extensive vendor list at the bottom of the post! There are so many amazing people to thank for these two days! Ashley (planner) and Kim (stylist), you two were just a dream. Thank you for making my job so easy and so much fun!! Nikhil and Paige, you are the epitome of a dream KJ Couple and I’m just so humbled that you chose us!!! Enjoy reliving your amazing wedding days!!!
