Bishmaraj & Bethany’s intimate Hindu & backyard western wedding

Bishmaraj & Bethany had an intimate wedding with family and friends in late Spring this year. They chose to have two ceremonies, a Hindu ceremony at Sri Meenakshi Devasthanam surrounded by a beautiful temple and an intimate western ceremony in their backyard.

We arrived at the temple early to take some family photos and photos of the glowing couple in and around the temple before the ceremony started. The ceremony was filled with smiling faces, incenses & rice. After the first ceremony, we headed to the other side of town for the second act.

At Bishmaraj & Bethany’s home, their friends and family enjoyed a light lunch while the couple changed into their second outfits & got their puppy into her Sari. Bethany’s brother officiated the second wedding ceremony under a wooden arch peppered in flowers.

Because of the nature of the couple’s wedding ceremonies, they chose to take their couples portraits several weeks before their wedding. We visited a couple of Houston’s most popular places to get the portraits. I had a blast tooling around Houston. See the photos below.
