.:Frisco Masjid: Fund Raiser:.

As mentioned in our earlier post, we worked with the Frisco Masjid to help them succeed in their fund raising program. I am proud to say that the event was very successful generating over $400,000 donations. It was a wonderful event with team effort. People of all ages actively participated on the program to achieve its goal. Not only the people of all ages, but also both of the genders worked hard on the event.

.: Wedding in Houston :.

Wedding in the largest city of Texas (Houston) is always special for me. It always reminds me the wedding of Amy and Mateen, the most memorable wedding we covered in Houston. Our team really worked hard on their wedding for which they appreciated our commitment. From their admiration and support we are again fully charged up for the special in Houston to cover a wedding this year. Although there are many professional photographers in Houston as well, we are glad that the couple trusted us with our experience of over three decade.

The beauty of the city and the cuteness of the couple is enticing me to cover the wedding with my fullest effort.

Houston, get ready for the most amazing wedding and its finest wedding coverage, Bombay Films is on its way.

Here is the video clip from Amy and Mateen.

.:Wise Decision on Wedding Photography:.

Few people think recession is over in United States. Other group of people believes that recession is still on its full phase. But what I believe is that we have learnt to adopt ourselves with the recession. One of the column in the site theknotinc.com helped me realized, how people has started adjusting their financial expenditure to get best out of it. Wedding Memory is the memory that cannot be compromised at any condition. Although it might not be viewed as useful, it's always feels good to refreshen those  unforgettable memories as the time passes.

Wedding photography is one time investment for the long term memory. But I can't believe few people are actually  compromising with their wedding memories choosing the wrong options. If you are one of them then this column [screen shot] from theknotinc.com is really useful for you.

Few more about the Photography

"The average consumer is largely ignorant of the criteria for judging photography quality, the most base their judgment on the subject's expression alone.  Therefore, if a mass market photographer produces a portrait in which the subject has a pleasing expression, it is a quality portrait-at least from the consumer's limited perspective. The challenge to independent studios, then is to position themselves so that prospects can identify enough tangible personal value to themselves to overcome the consideration of added cost. This should be done within a context that creates a demand for the product" (monteith, 17). But our aim is to "stand out in the crowd".

.:Digital Effects:.

Hey guys! I am posting few of our digital artist's favorite effects. Although the shots were snapped way back, one of the couple suggested us to re do the magic in their picture. As the bride was a graphic designer, she came up with lots of innovative ideas that really encouraged us to recreate the magic.

So our digital artist worked on their pictures adding whole new vibe to it. After adding up the effect in the picture, our digital artist worked on with several other pictures creating few of my favorite shots.

The simplicity yet stylish effect on the picture could not stop myself from sharing with you guyz.

.: India Night 2010 :.

Although it was the last minute call for the India Night event 2010, I was able to get a team of best photographers to cover the event. It's an annual event Hosted by India Association of North Texas .

The event begun at around 4 pm and continued till the mid-night. In spite of such lengthy event, we were entertained by most amazing performances I have ever seen. Tradition dances, Kathaks, Modern Dances, Traditional songs and much more. I was mesmerized to see the performance by Non-Indian lady (probably American), who performed an Indian Traditional dance like Kathak. Beside the performances, it was good to see the various colorful dresses from traditional to contemporary worn by kids to adult.

[Note:If you would like to see the full coverage of the event, Click here.]

The atmosphere was so entertaining that even the organizers could not stop seeing themselves  join the stage and having fun in the end. This was undoubtedly most electrifying event I have ever seen. Everybody was friendly and i really had fun. After viewing such astonishing performances I won't mind saying that it takes life time to see so many highly talented people sharing a stage.

It was wonderful experience working with such a dedicated group of volunteers. I am always ready to work with the community, specially Mr. Jack Godhwani.

Learning Center for Parents and Children (LCPC)

Learning Center for Parents and Children (LCPC) is a nonprofit organization which targets the pre-school program for Ismaili Muslim children in Dallas at their social and spiritual center, known as a "Jamatkhana". Their program emphasizes an essential that public schools have tried to inspire for decades i.e. parental involvement.

“This is the secret sauce,” said Gulzar Babool during his interview with Dallas News, the national program director for the Ismaili LCPC. “It is what makes it successful.” The program at (LCPC) emphasizes early literacy and school readiness and “empowers mothers to assimilate in this community,” Babool added during his interview.

I have been volunteering my time and expertise to help the community since last four years. The team is very organized and it would be safe to say that LCPC is the one of the best team I have worked this year. I believe that the schooling system of LCPC is one of the best schooling system in the world as children spend their time with their parents along with preparing themselves for further challenges they will face in grade school . Interestingly, all the staffs including teachers and members are volunteers.

The whole event was amazing and nicely organized. The cuteness and the sweetness of the children made me real difficult to choose only few to tell the story so I have decided to give a link so if you are interested to see the whole event, click here to access the gallery.

Good Job LCPC team! Keep it up.

.: Anita & Rizwan :. E-Session

Dallas Arboretum and Las Colinas

We met up with Anita and Rizwan for their E-Session in Dallas Arboretum this weeks. They are getting married next month and we are really excited to be the part of this very special day.

Their photographic interest and their amazing chemistry along with their comfortableness and easiness encouraged us to snap the few stupefying shots. Anita's familiarity with the location was a plus point for us as we had a wider knowledge of how much the location had to offer. We were even lucky with some beautiful blue skies – something which has been very rare these last couple of weeks in Dallas!

Our Digital artist also had fun time editing their picture, transporting the couple to the one of the most romantic destination, making it one of my personal favorite snap.

In order to avoid the sluggish afternoon Dallas traffic, we had to abandon the primary location early to continue rest of our session in Las Colinas, my favorite area for the perfect photo shoot. We got few wonderful snaps in Las Collinas with natural lights and and wonderful color contrast. Anita was really looking gorgeous in the Indian outfit which gave the perfect punch for the paradisaic shot.

We had really wonderful time working with you guys. Our whole team is eager to capture your precious moments again soon. Good luck with the final wedding preparations.

.: Iffat & Juby :. E-Session

Las Colinas, Mandalay Canal

Last Week I had the pleasure of photographing Iffat and Juby in Las Colinas. It’s not every day that I get chance to photograph one of the most beautiful and intimate affiars! During the photos session they were not only sweet and thoughtful, they really inspired us to upgrade our website and our blog. Because of their motivation and love we are upgrading our blog. Thanks to Iffat and Juby.

They were very helpful and co-operative during the shoot. Even the ever changing Texas weather supported us with the perfect weather that anybody could only dream for. Hard work of five photographers as well as the creative ideas from the couple really aspire us to snap some really amazing and natural pictures. I had real tough time choosing the top pictures for the blog.

Iffat and Juby, Thank you very much for such a nice experience working with you guys. I just cant wait for your wedding in June.

Here are the E-session Videos.
