Indian Wedding – Update

September 14, 2009

I know that I have said this before, but this wedding was just unbelievable.  I could not believe the colors and the how much they brightened up a room.   The weekend was full of symbolism.  At each and every turn there was a stage that lead the bride and groom to their marriage.  While I had shot a number of Hindu weddings before, this was my first Sikh wedding.  I have to be honest, they were a few things that I didn’t expect;  But that also made it all of the more fun.

I had a hard time picking the shots that I wanted to blog about today.  These are some of the ones that stood out most to be (trust me there are a lot more that are equally fantastic).  Enjoy the show.  I sure know that I did.

I have to be honest, this shot was a mistake.  As I was bring the camera down by my side,  I clicked the shutter by mistake.  But what a cool mistake it was.

To get into the hall, the groom needs to beg, bribe anything to get past the bride’s side of the family.  Lots of laughs happening!
