Dimple & Sagar

Dimple and Sagar were married at the Pacific Palms Resort back in July, but as always, I’m way behind on the blog. These guys are die-hard fans of the USC Trojans, so it was only fitting that this couple surprised their 600 guests with a grand entrance featuring a few members of the USC Trojan Marching Band. I’ve seen these guys play events before, but I’ve never seen the secret kept so well. No one — and I mean no one — except the couple, one bridesmaid and me knew that the band was there. So the guests just freaked out, and it was really fun to watch. The ever-stylish Sagar kept his good humor for the world’s longest jaan, and he never complained once, even though he got stuck on that horse for way longer than he was expecting. (It’s a long story.) Dimple is just so adorable (check out her dad wiping away her tears), and she’s also a die-hard fan of gelato (even though she never seems to gain any weight, unlike somebody else I know). When I called to get her address so I could ship her proofs, she said, “Aren’t I coming up there so we can go to gelato?” The answer was, of course, yes. And gelato fun was indeed had. With coordination and decor by the fabulously creative and talented Smita Mohindra at Ethnic Essence, hair and makeup by Oscar “The Man” Naranjo, and videography by the lovely April and the team at Robles Video.

And the beautiful multi-image 42×42 framed print that I made from their engagement session, which was displayed from pipe and drape, and which had a crowd of onlookers throughout the cocktail party. The warm-tone B&W images and warm silver frame went with the winter wonderland decor just perfectly, and Dimple and Sagar are excited to hang it in their home.
