We’ve Been Blogged!
June 12th, 2008 @ 4:14 pm by Mrs. Jasmine
Our amazing photographer, Marisa Holmes, just posted some of her favorite shots of us on her blog, and of course, I had to share with my beloved bee readers. I will definitely be blogging about the day in much more detail when I have all the pro pics back, but here are some of the highlights. All photos courtesy of the very talented and super sweet Marisa Holmes:
in the makeup chair…I was so tense!
My baby brother walking me down the aisle! Traditionally, your maternal uncle is supposed to walk you down, but I have 6. So I decided to have my brother walk me instead.
exchanging rings…I remember my hand shaking as I tried to remember which finger it goes on!
we could not keep the unbridled joy off our faces after the ceremony
some relaxed portraits– marisa’s specialty!
the beautiful programs made by our coordinator Angel Swanson and the stunning ceremony canopy created by Eddie of Commerce Flowers
our beautiful reception canopy created by White Night Designs and our centerpieces from Commerce Flowers
delicious red velvet cake in the most darling design from For the Love of Sugar. This cake is definitely an homage to Mrs. Lovebug’s cake!
Getting down to the musical stylings of DJ Parag Shah. The hand in the hair is a Miss Jasmine Signature Dance Move 
We were SO thrilled to see these photos on Marisa’s blog and we could not be happier with how the day was captured. Look forward to a full rundown of the day with all the pro pics soon!

jaw-droppingly gorgeous. seriously. it looks like your day was amazing!
gorgeous wedding, mrs. jasmine! i’m a chicago bride (and indian!) and want to do a polaroid guestbook also. which one did you purchase? is it a package or do you need to buy the book and camera separately?
@psastry: Thank you hon! My mom purchased a Kolo album off the Kolo website and bought the cameras and film from Costco. She also made the cutest mats for all the pics– I’ll be posting about it soon!
thank you so much for the info!! had a question for you - in one of your pictures on your photographer’s blog i saw a jewelry box from g.r. krishnaiah chetty. by any chance, are your parents from bangalore? i know that store well! we’re originally from bangalore and i did my wedding shopping there in january.
@psastry: What a coincidence! Both my parents are originally from Kerala, but grew up in Bangalore. My grandmother still lives there, so that’s where we always go when we visit India!
