A traditional Indian engagement ceremony, where the two families came together to celebrate this great event through exchange of prayers, gifts, and blessings.
The location was BraeBen Golf Course Banquet Hall, overlooking the greens.

Photoshoot
A couple of weeks before Clara Noelle was born, I met up with the expectant couple, Mike & Tara for a quick photo session.
The expectant couple is so easy-going and relaxed around the camera.
Location is Victoria Park in Kitchener, Waterloo.
A beautiful spring day, trees are starting to turn green and lots of animals out and about in the warmer weather.
I brought along my new lens, the Pentax-DA* 50-135mm F2.8 ED [IF] SDM and it was a joy to use. Tack sharp and silent.

Congrats to the new baby :)
Flying back from Hong Kong and landed at 12:30pm and had to be at the ceremony by 3pm. Rushing out of the house I grabbed the nearest camera, an Olympus EP-1 with a 25mm F1.4 C-mount lens. The combo turned out to be a lot of fun and quite versatile in the low light situation.
The newly wed couple :)
