Nisha & Alexander | Sherman Oaks Backyard Wedding
Nisha and Alex kept it short, small and beautiful: a backyard wedding at home in Sherman Oaks with their closest family and friends. There were saris and suits side by side, live classical guitar on the patio, and their dog in plenty of the photos.
First Look in the Garden
They had a first look along the side yard under the vines. Then we did portraits with Nisha's bouquet, which her aunt and cousins arranged themselves, along with all the florals for the day. Pink peonies and bright, saturated blooms matched the colors her family wore.

A Short, Sweet Ceremony
Guests arrived at six to guitar from Melodic Nights. At 6:30 their good friend Hector led a short ceremony with repeat-after-me vows. It was twenty minutes, all heart, and the hugs afterward lasted longer than the vows.

Golden Hour in the Neighborhood
During cocktail hour we took a short walk down the street for golden-hour portraits. Quiet residential streets in the Valley can be surprisingly great backdrops in the last light of the day.

Dinner at Long Farmhouse Tables
Dinner was family style at long wooden farmhouse tables on the brick patio. There was no dance floor and no speeches, just good food cooked by friends, a cake from a pastry-chef friend, and an evening of mingling. Tiffany of Your Wedding by Tiffany kept the whole day running smoothly.
