Rangaprevasem- Indian Dance

Earlier this summer I got the chance to photograph a young dancer for the invitation to her Rangapravesam or professional dance debut which will take place at the Music Academy of Madras, India.
Looks like Theresa and I will be celebrating the holidays in India this year!

Here's the finished invitation

Anat & Yury - wedding at the Peabody Library

The Peabody Library in Baltimore became a grand setting for Anat and Yury's wedding.
When we arrived, the bride and groom were getting ready in separate rooms at the Tremont Hotel. Once ready, Anat gracefully descended the staircase to the lobby where Yury was eagerly anticipating seeing her as a bride for the first time. Their wedding party gathered outside and we then all started walking through downtown Baltimore heading to the Peabody Library for the ceremony.
The architecture of the library was breathtaking with it's six floors of books visible from the central atrium. Table settings, floral arrangements, menus, and hand-folded origami crane "place cards" were all brilliantly designed and executed. Meals were served followed by shots of Russian vodka and then everyone was ready for the hora and the dancing that proceeded into the night.
