One of my favorite things about a wedding day is when a couple opts to do a first sight. It not only helps the timeline of the wedding but it allows for a small time alone together without the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. When Karl and Subadra had their first sight Karl did the happy dance. I have to say it was THE cutest thing EVER! She looked stunning and I think it really started the day off well
After taking a few portraits in the olive grove at Auberge du Soleil we took a quick trip down the road to find some vine with yummy fall colors. And that we did! We then went back for their ceremony which was a blend of both Western and Indian traditions. After dinner the dance floor was on fire… you two can dance!

This is the Mangala sutra that Karl placed around Subadras neck during the ceremony. In Western culture this would the equivalent of placing a ring on each others fingers. The most important part of an Indian wedding ceremony is when Karl places this necklace around her.
during their first sight…
You are so beautiful Subadra!
As favors Subadra and Karl gave each of their guests a small dish from India… I thought it tied perfectly into the day with the colors and the blend of cultures:
