Dhimo and Kalpesh - August 20

This was my second Indian wedding this weekend.
I've covered many Hindu Weddings in the past.
This has to be one of the coolest.
Dhimo's family are Sri Lankan, so there were some cultural traditions I had not seen before.
It was a 14 hour day, filled with lots of color, a little chaos, incredible details,
and the results; I think were well worth it!
There was so much going on, that the day just flew by!
Dhimo and Kal were a fun couple, and made my job so easy!
This was another weekend that reminded me how much I LOVE my job!

This shot was taken at Dhimo's Mehndhi party two days before the wedding.




The Bridesmaids looked great, in sorbet colored Sari's


This is one of my favorite shots from the day, taken just seconds before Kal placed a ring on Dhimo's toe.
Here the Sacred Thaali, (necklace) and Bridal Sari are taken around to all the guests to recieve blessings.
The bride and groom join hands with the maid of honor and best man and take seven steps around the sacred fire, making vows at each step.
I love this moment captured with the parents.


A Sri Lankan tradition; the guests all come and sprinkle rice over the newly married couple to
bless them with a happy and contented life.

A sweet moment captured right after the couple exchange garland.




My associate Michael was a big help this day. This is one of his shots.
