The last two days photographing Rozina and Fayyaz’s wedding ceremony’s have been incredible, but nothing compares to the wedding day. The wedding day celebration consist of several tradional indian ceremonal events that go on throughout the day and last way into the night [Part 1 of 2 ]. Enjoy the preview!
The second day of wedding celebration for Rozina and Fayyaz starts out with the grand entrence of the bride for her Manjha ceremony. Rozina’s beautiful procession into the building was amazing to witness and photograph. The bride was blessed by showers of rose petals and gifts from family & friends. The second half of the evening was the Pithia ceremony, which was started off by the grand procession of Fayyaz (groom) entering the building. Each ceremony ended with the breaking of a “sapatia” (small clay pot containing lentils, silver, sugar, and turmeric) to symbolize bounty of nature, material wealth, sweetness & harmony, and good health.
We had just completed day two of a 4-day Indian Wedding Celebration in Miramar when the bride introduced us to her best friends, Rozina & Fayyaz, who just so happens were looking for a wedding photographer for their wedding. What better way to audition for a future client than a live wedding over the next three days. Throughout those few days we couldn’t help but notice how in love these two were and how lucky we would be to have an amazing couple to work with. The rest of this story is history. As we just photographed Rozina’s amazing Mehndi (Henna Party) and we are so looking forward to the next three days!
Destination weddings are becoming more of a common trend than in years past. Offering the bride and groom endless amounts of options that they may not normally have back home. Shooting a day-after photography session is one of our favorite destination wedding options for the newly married couple! This past July we photographed Alana & Evin’s beautiful destination wedding overlooking the Atlantic ocean in Searsport, Maine & we followed it with a day-after session the next day! As Southeastern Maine has one of the most beautiful New England coastlines to photograph with several historic locations throughout the region. We knew Alana & Evin were going to have an amazing day.
The first stop for our amazing day was the historic Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine. It doesn’t take long to understand why this is the most photographed lighthouse on the east coast. We were just able to get a short shoot in before the heavy crowds took over for the day.
What an amazing day we had photographing Arsalan and Zarha at the beautiful Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isle, Florida. We couldn’t have had a better couple to end our amazing year in South Florida. Enjoy the preview and your gallery will be live shortly!
