Ah… the wedding EVERYONE is asking about!
Its not too often that Im invited to spend a week with a family to document a wedding right? I’ve photographed several Indian weddings over the past few years but this was the first where I was asked to be a part of documenting every days events and ceremonies. It was such a beautiful week: the ceremonies, the colors, the dancing and seeing so many of their friends and family come together to see them get married. Praveen and Sujata are so lucky to have the friends and family that they do. They were there every part of the way through the whole planning process…. all of the ceremony rehearsals and then sat next to them at the ceremony. You both are so lucky!
The Puja was the first event where close friends and family came together to pray for the upcoming week:
We snuck out front for a few quick photos just as the sun was almost gone… magically the flash looks pretty good!
The following week continued with the Mehndi where all of the girls get together to have henna applied for the upcoming ceremony. The application takes quite a while for Sujata so Praveen’s job was to make sure she was fed and taken care of while the henna dried. This is the result below:
The night before the wedding was the Garba which is one big dance! So hard to keep up since I have no rhythm
Sujata’s mother… so pretty! You cant see it here but her mothers eyes are the most intense green color Ive ever seen.
