Ever since I began my photography business in 2008 I wanted to photograph an Indian wedding. When my wife Wendy and I began photographing weddings together soon after, trying to land an Indian wedding was on both of our minds. There have been close opportunities and I almost got a chance to photograph a wedding in the North/Western area of India and that truly would have been amazing! Fast forward to September 10th, 2022 and I finally, finally got my wish but unfortunately my lovely wife did not get to participate as she had retired from photographing weddings at that point, (yes she was a bit sad!).
So why was photographing an Indian wedding important to me, (and Wendy)? There are so many reasons, (henna tattoos!), but the main reason is I love meeting people from all over the world and what makes that fun is our differences just as much as our similarities. The vibrant colors of what is worn and the flowers are breathtaking as well as the cultural meanings behind what takes place during the ceremony/entire day is mesmerizingly interesting. Those are a few that come to mind but the bottom line is that, for me, it sure would be a boring life without our differences!
I’m very proud to now get this wedding out into the world for all to see!
