This, my friends, is a Clark+Walker Studio FIRST!

You see, up until now Indian weddings had been photographed by the studio, but never shot on video. When Luke told me that I was actually going to be able to shoot one at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center, a million questions starting running through my head. How do they differ from American weddings? What’s a Baraat? Will you teach me the stick dance? (sadly, he said no to the last question – which I think was a cover because it is my belief that he doesn’t know how to do the stick dance!).

In any event, I knew this was going to be something very special and I was beside myself with anticipation. A little nervous? Sure. I just wasn’t sure what to expect. I had scoped out the eshoot pics that Luke had taken of Anuja+Rishi to try and get a vibe for what this fabulous looking couple would be like (which, by the way, never really works). Instead I just had to take Luke’s word for it, of which he had nothing but the best things to say about them. And all of which were confirmed after meeting them. What a fantastic couple and family! Two days of bright colors, lively dancing and amazing foods! Dare I say it was a bit overstimulating for yours truly, as I had never experienced anything like it! And you can imagine how giddy I was trying to capture everything through the lens of a camera. This, without a doubt, was a wedding videographer’s dream.

This was also my first time working with Rose Events, and man, what a class act! I really enjoyed it! We also pulled in a Rochester videographer to help us out, so a special thanks to Dennis Allen for being there for us!
