Assistant Work ~ Weddings

I am so behind on blogging.

I am super excited to share with you an event I had the awesome opportunity to experience and photograph. My good friend Angelina and I worked with the very talented Austin of Austin Trenholm Photography in photographing a Bengali wedding in Punta Gorda in June. Please check out Austin's blog for the best shots of the day.

I am not a wedding photographer but give me something pretty to photograph and I'll be happy...It is very different than all other types of photography in the sense that the pace is way faster, there are deadlines to be met, as a photographer you're more of a director of all these millions of things going on at the same time... It is stressful and my hat's off to all you wedding photogs doing it for a living, it's definitely exhausting, but also rewarding.

Well, this particular wedding wasn't just pretty, it was one of the most amazing events I've ever seen. Every little detail in the decor and traditions was so unique and beautifully done, my eyes and my heart were smiling the entire night. Our every sense was stimulated, from the visual with the gorgeous colors in the fabrics to the spice in the food and the fantastic entertaining music... We all enjoyed the culture, the people, their fashions, the ceremonial traditions and the dancing.

With the main photographer's permission, I am posting a few of my favorites from the day.

The Hall was beautifully decorated in tones of pink and fuchsia...

The bride, Meem looked stunning in her traditional sari and beautiful jewelry. Their culture is so rich, I wish everyone dressed like that every day.

The couple exchanged rings and each one was asked to say what they see in the mirror as future for them as a couple...

Everyone had a fantastic time! With punjabi music, it's really hard to stand still and not dance...
