In fact, while I was shooting their engagement session, I asked him, &#8220;Was this one of those situations where you just saw her smile, and it was all over?&#8221; And he said, &#8220;Yep!&#8221; Aarthi and Vijay actually got married in India, but I was tapped to shoot their reception at the beautiful<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/westlakevillage\/\"> Four Seasons Westlake Village<\/a>. Since we had a little time to do some portraits before the cocktail party, Aarthi was able to showcase three of her beautiful outfits. The incredible peacock on the back of her green-and-turquoise sari was a unique and gorgeous showstopper, but I also was a huge fan of the dramatic black sari. Aarthi then changed into her beautiful red wedding outfit for a little more shooting before all their reception events got underway. A highlight was their choreographed grand entrance (with a heaping dose of silly thrown in, which I loved), and a choreographed dance number that they did with their bridal party.<\/p>\n<p>With coordination by the wonderful Sonia Sharma at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soniaevents.com\/\">Sonia Sharma Events<\/a>, hair and makeup by the fab Oscar Naranjo at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zibabeauty.com\/\">Ziba Beauty<\/a>, floral artistry by Arsine and the team at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shirvandesign.com\/\">Shirvan Design<\/a>, and DJ deliciousness by Ajay and Parag at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.specialoccasionsla.com\/\">Special Occasions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_01\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_02\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_03\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"657\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_04\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_05\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_06\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_07\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"657\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_08\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_09\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_10\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_11\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"1752\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_12\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_13\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"657\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_14\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_15\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_16\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"aarthirao_17\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/misc\/DWF2010\/aarthirao_17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"589\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first saw Aarthi smile, I knew that Vijay hadn&#8217;t had a chance.
