    The Garba

    Okay so its been a little over a week since my last post... but I'm catching up I swear. Here are the images of the second night of fun at Sheila & Kumar's gorgeous Hindu wedding at the Omni Orlando Resort ChampionsGate. It was awesome watching everyone dance the Garba. Everyone forms large circles around the room twirling and tapping beautifully colored wands with each other the entire night. The ballroom was so gorgeous with an amazing lighting set up by Kaleidescope Productions and stunning decorations provided by Occasions by Shangri la

    I love the colors! the purples are just beautiful... I went through all my camera's custom functions and didn't see the 3200 iso option!!! :(

    oh wow the decor is incredible and your pictures depict it so well! i love it!

    Thanks Onada... its amazing how adding some special lighting really changes a standard ballroom. It was absolutely gorgeous. Hey Jess... I sent you a message on how to get to the higher ISO in your custom functions. It will definitely help with super low light situations. :)
