Category Archives: WeddingsWhen we met to discuss their engagement ceremony, Priti and Vimal said the priest would say a lot of stuff in a language I wouldn’t understand and that they would be doing a lot of “things”. And that it would take 1.5 hours. I walked away from that meeting a bit confused, but I have to say their description was entirely accurate. It was really exciting to photograph a new cultural experience for me, but I still have no idea what went on during the ceremony. These two have a very calming aura about them. Throughout the entire evening, they never looked stressed or even tired. I think they will complement each other very well.
Part of the ceremony is an exchange of gifts. Priti’s family gathered theirs outside, then walked together to meet Vimal’s family inside the temple.
The amazing Charlotte Geary had me out to second shoot Stephanie and Dave’s beautiful wedding at Rust Manor House in Leesburg, Virginia. Stephanie was a very relaxed bride and spent the entire reception dancing away! Dave is a camera enthusiast himself and was the most camera-friendly groom I’ve ever worked with. They looked fantastic in their wedding gear and the camera loooooved them.
I don’t have a great deal of experience second shooting, but I have to say I had a total blast with Charlotte. Plus, the second shooter gets to hang with the boys. In the guys’ dressing room, there is no stress and more often than not there is plenty of drinking and always lots of joking. Dave had to throw in some hotness, just for kicks.
Stephanie gave him these Tiffany (!) cufflinks a few years back. It’s always nice when couples can incorporate small personal details into every part of their wedding day. |
