Wedding: Dhar and Sukhritee

What a day!

I knew going into this wedding that it would be interesting and new since it was my first traditional Indian ceremony. Even knowing that, I was not fully prepared for the experience. 

My first thought when I realized this would be a traditional wedding was "color" and I was not disappointed. It was such a joy to capture all the colors and fabrics of the day.

I think the second most memorable aspect of the wedding was just how happy it was. Indian weddings can last up to four days, with a number of ceremonies to celebrate the new couple. I was only a part of one of those days, but it was full of celebration. Everyone is just so happy to see each other and so happy to to see someone they love get married. Both sides immediately embrace each other as family. 

As a photographer, I function behind the scenes, but I was made to feel nothing but welcome and appreciated.

It was a long and full day, but it went by so quickly. Dhar and Sukrhitee are going to be so very happy together and I'm so glad I got to capture their special day.
