On Thursday we had the privilege of photographing our first ever Chilean-Indian wedding. Well, that’s a lie. It wasn’t actually the wedding. It was the Mehndi ceremony. But it was SO cool!

I know I promised I’d write more but I’ve stayed up late, yet again, editing these photos and I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. I am really proud of this coverage though, so I think the photos will speak for themselves. Enjoy!

PS. There’s a slideshow with way more photos if you scroll all the way down to the bottom. PLEASE watch it. Eliminating photos for this blog post was torture and there are a ton of incredible photos in there that aren’t shown here!

Mad props to my friends at ChStudio, who were the wedding videographers for the event. They’re incredibly talented at their craft and we love working with them! Maria Jose was the one who set up the killer shoe shot you see below.

This is Ani’s Oma. The world would be a better place if we all had Oma’s like her.

LOVE this shot.

Oooooh, I like this one too

Another favorite from the day.

GAHHHHHHH, I ADORE this photo!!!

Oma was seriously like the energizer bunny. That woman was on fire all night long.

Suuuuuper excited to post this session! And also suuuuuuper excited to shoot this gorgeous couple again on Thursday!!! Their actual wedding is this Saturday. At the time we were booked, but Ani and Suraj hired us to shoot their Mehndi ceremony on Thursday. Neither Seba or I have ever been to an Indian wedding, much less an Indian-Chilean wedding. And much much less the Indian-Chilean wedding of a fun, cool couple like them. So yeah. PUMPED!!! I’ll write more then, but for now, I’m off to bed! It’s been a long (good and productive) day.

Ps. Sorry for the short posts lately. The season has just begun and I’m swamped already!

PPS. Tomorrow I’ll announce which photos will be printed and you will be able to comment to receive a postcard if you want! So that means still one more to to vote if you haven’t yet done so. Round 1 here. Round 2 here. Round 3 here.

Adam likes awkward moments in elevators. I LOVE awkward moments in elevators. Val is forging her own path in a new country, enjoying the challenge. Me too.

Val and Adam are mega-smart…waaaaaay smarter than us — doctor + lawyer as opposed to…photographer + photographer But aside from that minor detail, we have a lot in common.

And our session this weekend was SO fun. Meeting new people is by far my favorite part of this job. We are incredibly lucky that only cool people book us. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but it’s really not. I feel like my webmaster Jennette must have put up a subliminal message somewhere on this website that says, “If you are not awesome, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, do not hire Kyle and Seba. Go directly to jail.”

Val and Adam did not go to my metaphorical website jail. They hired us for their wedding in Feb and I’m pumped because I feel like aside from shooting them we also made two new friends. They are such interesting people to talk to, they’re both engaging and happy. They’re funny, they love each other , they have strong opinions. They’re the exactly the kind of people that I’d hang out with even if I wasn’t photographing them. Heart.

PS. Gorgeous makeup by Rodrigo Farah. Boss. He has such a gift for making sure people look like the best version of themselves.
