Hindu Wedding StationeryEvery time I see photos from an Indian wedding, I can’t help but ooh and aah over the beautiful combination of bright colors and intricate patterns, all of which come together to create a sense of joy and celebration. Ellie from Hello Tenfold (and Mint!) was lucky enough to recently design some day-of stationery for a Hindu wedding and reception – including table numbers, ceremony programs, menus, and place cards: See? Vibrant colors, beautiful henna-inspired illustrations and patterns, and totally gorgeous. Love it! Thanks Ellie! {image credits: Ellie Snow} *Hello Tenfold...

Beautiful Hindu Wedding CeremonyThis blog is brought to you by our amazing intern Jackie! This gorgeous Hindu Wedding Ceremony was captured by Jennifer Kathryn of Jennifer Kathryn Photography in Chicago. I love the intricate details on the bride’s Saree and the groom’s Sherwani. The ceremony sparkled with bright shades of reds and greens, complimented by jewels and gold accents. A few words from Jennifer about the couple: I don’t know if it was Megha’s beauty and her sparkling laughter that first caught Cameron’s eye, or if it was her incredible balance between a fierce determination and extraordinary kindness.

A Beautiful Hindu WeddingThis weekend I had the honor of attending the Hindu wedding of my dear friends Hashi and JaJa. I swore the King and Queen of the world were being introduced when the ceremony began. The two certainly played the part. Hashi was breathtakingly gorgeous and all jeweled up in deep reds and gold, and JaJa who is over 7 feet tall, easily gave Prince Akeem Joffer from Coming to America a run for his money. But in all seriousness, there is something to be said about traditions, especially one that is more than four thousand years old. Their Sanskrit Vedic ceremony was filled with with meaningful ritua...

Priti + Tahir's Muslim and Hindu WeddingAbout two weeks ago, I flew to California to photograph Priti and Tahir's wedding. Priti is Hindu and Tahir is Muslim. That their respective traditions and faiths are important to them and each other was abundantly clear. I was truly honored to photograph both the Nikah, translated loosely from Arabic to mean "the embracing of one another" and the Vivaha (or Vivaham, if you are from South India), the Sanskrit word for "wedding." Inter-faith weddings can be challenging to the couple, but Priti and Tahir handled every single detail with great finesse. From the photographer's perspective, I love ...
