some context for this impromptu video:

my best friend invited me as a guest to this evening reception the day before it took place. i originally had no intention of bringing my camera as i planned on just enjoying the amazing indian food and getting to know a great family even better.

though i did end up deciding to bring my camera, i still enjoyed all the amenities a guest would and then some. i sometimes forget how lucky i am on these special days, knowing that the camera is a front row pass into people's lives. something i definitely wont take for granted. :)

thanks for the great food, entertaining evening, and a closer glimpse into this family i've grown so fond of.
