Guess who smiles all the time? The beautiful Palak, who was married to Simmy in a Hindu ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Anaheim<\/a>, and in a family-only Sikh ceremony at the Buena Park Gurdwara<\/a>. Palak’s dad earned some immediate bonus points with me because he used to work at Samy’s Camera (a mecca for all West Coast photographers) here in Los Angeles. So I really enjoyed chatting with him when they came by my studio to see my albums.<\/p>\n

Palak’s easy and genuine smile is infectious, and you just know that it was all over for Simmy once Palak first flashed that smile his way. I love all my couples, but this couple has a special key to my heart, and that key is caffeine. I’m crazy about both coffee and chai (true, unsweetened, Indian chai [no, not the Starbuck’s imposter]), so I thought it was just too cute that Simmy and Palak used coffee beans in their centerpiece vases, and gave each guest a personalized package of coffee to take home with them. Palak’s friends all chipped in to help place the favors on the table, and I loved that so many of her bridesmaids really worked hard so Palak could relax and change into her reception outfit. They were a very supportive and great group of girls. Meanwhile, like many Sikh grooms, Simmy used his reception-outfit-change-time to shave off his beard and swank it up a bit. And Simmy is blessed with a gorgeous smile, too. I spent half the wedding telling them that their children were going to be genetically blessed in the dental department. With videography by April and the talented team at Robles Video<\/a>. I’ll update the rest of the vendor list when I hear back from the bride.<\/p>\n
