An Indian Wedding | Durham Convention Center

My fav.. that look you give your husband sometimes.

Several weeks ago I was hired to shoot with another photographer (his second, in the biz) at the Durham Convention Center. I’ve only photographed two other Indian weddings, and this one was much larger than either of those. It was a two day event, so I have omitted a lot and limited to mostly the second day. The first day was lots and lots of dancing by various family members, all choreographed!

I will not bore you with my thoughts or understanding about the culture, although I love it and would LOVE to tell you what I ignorantly (no doubt) think I know about each part of the day. Suffice it to say it often looks like people are having fun, interacting, playacting, playing, and feeling. YES!

So all the images below are click-expand. I know it’s a lot of images but these events are so colorful and beautiful and involved.. I cut out all the crowd shots, and I feel that’s a big part of it. What a great group! Thanks to Manjil at Pixel6Studios for having me along.
