Luxury Styled Shoot at Elliston Vineyard's

A luxury styled photo shoot spanned over two days in the opulent setting of Elliston Vineyard’s Manion in Sunol, CA. This shoot was a collaborative initiative of Photographers, Videographers, Models, Henna Artist, Jewelry Designers, Fashion Designers, spearheaded by Timsi Malhotra, Bridal Hair & Makeup Expert at TM’s Makeup Artistry. The focus of the shoot was on featuring an entire gamut of a Typical North Indian Wedding starting with Mehendi/Sangeet Ceremony to Reception/Dinner Party. We did 4 different styles with 4 different models – each adorning a style true to the event/ceremony it being photographed for.

Mehendi look was shot with freshly applied henna on hands with soft fresh faced makeup & a pouffed up messy braid. The jewelry was all in antique gold & the outfit in pastel green anarkal

Engagement Look was an elegant pretty look with a pink wrap around lehenga styled saree. The makeup was a bright smokey eyes, pink lips, classy clean updo with some cute artificial flowers. Jewelery was Polki neck piece with long dangling earrings complemented with maang teeka, hath phool & bangles.

Wedding Look was a full shebang from head to toe, bright colored henna on the hands, red jardozi worked lehenga with a purple blouse & net dupatta, glitter glam eyes & a high puffed updo & full kundan set for the next, pretty earrings, hathphool, head accessories, nose ring, bridal bindis on the forehead.

Reception Look had a cut crease eye makeup, side swept pin curled hair do with a very heavy peacock blue high collared Achkan & a bright pink skirt. The jewelry was specifically heavy for the head with side jhoomar & tikka, big earrings to compliment the glittery outfit.

Inspiration was the typical north indian styled weddings catering to an entire array of ceremonies studded with jewels, colorful designer outfits & extraordinary jewelry.

My advice to all the to-be brides; Plan ahead not last minute, always opt in for trials/consultations & do some research, save some inspiration photos for the look you desire with you so the end result best resonates with who you are and your personal style!
