Planned from Chicago. Celebrated at Philbrook.

Caroline Ngo & Anitesh Bajaj · Philbrook Museum · May 2026 · Partial Planning · Photography: Modern Moments Photography

Caroline & Anitesh planned their Tulsa wedding from Chicago, while Anitesh was finishing medical residency — a schedule that leaves no room for vendor calls, site visits, or quick questions during business hours. So I was their Tulsa boots on the ground: the local eyes, ears, and hands that kept their plans moving while they were miles away.

Their day at Philbrook was gorgeous and outdoors — the kind of celebration that looks effortless precisely because someone back in Tulsa was holding all the moving parts together.

After their Christ the King church ceremony, the celebration moved to Philbrook — portraits in the gardens and a reception under the open sky, the kind of day that looks effortless precisely because someone back in Tulsa was holding all the moving parts together.
