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!

Indian Wedding Weekend

September 4, 2009

I am off to Phoenix this weekend to help my good friend Ruby Rideout of Dazzling Images shoot an Indian Wedding.  This is a 3 day event that I just know is going to rock the house.

So, no photo today, just a minor update on what is going on and where I am.  I will post stuff as we go along and hope that I will come back with some great stuff.

Make sure you check out Ruby’s website @ http://www.dazzimages.com/.  She is an awesome photographer.

Enjoy the long weekend.  I know I will!!
