I’m a huge fan of Indian weddings. But not just because of all the brilliant colors, textures, and sounds. It’s the community of people that’s most special to me. My soul always feels a bit warmer after spending time with them.
To Purvi and Paras—Thank you again for choosing me to document your day. It was amazing.
Magnus was second shooter on this wedding. Awesome shot, bro.
And below, you’ll find a slideshow with all of the highlights! When you’re finished with it, I’d love for you to connect with me HERE and stay in touch! Thanks!

Shaun and Magnus, wonderful job with the shots! We’re coming up on our first anniversary this weekend, and we are still blown away by the photos you guys took of our wedding.
Purvi, Congratulations on the wedding. You all looked amazing! I have never met you, but I worked with your father for the past four years. He is a truly special person. Please send him my regards.
Congrats Purvi and Paras! You guys are perfect for each other! Your photographer did a great job of capturing the excitement of your wedding. Can’t wait to hang out with you guys again soon! J and G Ho
You are super uber talented. I have never met you but we have some friends in common through weddings and the creative community…but I just had to give you a shout out to pure talent (and hard work too).
While sorting through the collection of images from Kimberly’s and Adrian’s wedding, I couldn’t help but feel like there was something different. A good kind of different.
Kimberly is a talented photographer. She found out about me and Magnus from her friend Aseel, another amazing photographer here in Lexington. That has a way of putting a person on alert, eh? Maybe we were hyper-sensitive to our surroundings that day? Maybe just the coffee?
But while those things are true, I think the unique quality of this wedding has most to do with how honest and genuine Kimberly and Adrian are as people. There’s nothing about them that feels routine.
-Kimberly and Adrian got ready at home on their horse farm. Two separate houses so they wouldn’t see each other.
-The hanbok wedding dress was designed by Kimberly as a way to tie in her Korean heritage.
-One of their rings is from Brilliant Earth, a company that uses conflict-free diamonds and recycled gold and platinum.
-In lieu of favors, donations were made to the Parathyroid and Kidney Foundation.
-Kimberly flexed up her impressive biceps while I was photographing her bridal portraits. She worked hard for them!
-Toasts lasted for almost 45 minutes. In between the laughs and collective awwwhs, you could hear a pin drop.
-The 80’s band from Texas stirred up a party so loud as to draw a formal complaint from a Spindletop neighbor.
And that’s just the start. Every word, every detail, every moment from that day had meaning. No wonder people love Kimberly and Adrian so much. They’re awesome people.
They do. And they are.
Hunter Valley Farm
Waffles and Marty couldn’t be left out.
My friends over at House design some pretty amazing florals.
Before leaving the church, Adrian made sure to go back in and thank Father Danny.
To see more highlights from the day, I’d love for you to check out the slideshow below. If you’d like to see ALL of the images, you can go HERE. And please stay in touch!
Remember what I said re using a disclaimer? — ‘…not responsible for any loss of productivity…’ — Get on that. =)
Today, at best, I was distracted. Could NOT get these out of my head. Then once I thought I was good, someone would come to barn (@ Keeneland November Sale) and say, ‘O.M.G. Your pictures!!’ and I’d be delirious again.
We could not be more pleased with these. I may as well sell my cameras because any pictures we’ll ever need/want, you’ve delivered. ‘Thank you’ hardly seems adequate, but thank you.
Re brought to tears, I think last count was 12. =)
