Saya and Chandans Indian Wedding Part 1

All I can really say is Wow. I had the most amazing experience this past weekend photographing my first Indian wedding. I loved it, I love Saya and Chandan, their families and all the festivities. I felt very welcome all weekend and the celebrations, love and support that was around Saya and Chandan was inspiring to say the least. There is no way to pull both days I was there into one post. This is going to be multiple post coverage, so to not miss anything.

Friday was the Sangeet. Family and friends all contributed Song and Dance performances for Saya and Chandan. It was wonderful to experience. Lets get on to some images shall we?

Meet Saya and Chandan.

They were so adorable.


I love these next two.


I don't think they could be more perfect for each other.

This was such a funny moment.
Saya's mom was gettting the grandparents together, putting grandpa's arm around grandma and they were so giggly and bashful, like they were school kids again. I love it.

I was in color love.

One of the first perfomances. This little girl did an awesome job all by herself in front of everyone.

A little detail of grandmas henna.

Grandma was very excited to get up and dance. She was bouncing up and down, it was fantastic.

Saya's dad and a few of his friends surprised Saya with a performance. They weren't supposed to do one. I love his "don't stop the rock" t-shirt.

Saya had a few suprises herself.
Her girl friends were doing their performance and Saya jumped up to join them. It was great.

Saya's brother and his performing group. He also sang to her, what an amazing family.

Another grandma. Striking a pose for me. I love this and am really happy I captured some great images of her, she was not there on Saturday.

At the end of the night was the stick dance.
It was awesome to watch. I loved the expression on this little girl.

Saya during the stick dance.

Two more of this little girl, who really warmed up to me by the end of the night. She was very serious most of the night, but at the same time very expressive.

Her little "awe" moment.

Loved this experience. I want to experience more Indian weddings. Stay tuned for more images from the wedding coming up.
