Wedding ceremony preview of Yogesh and Raunaq’s beautiful Indian wedding at the Charlotte Hilton University Place! We stay busy in Charlotte area: this past weekend, we had another prestigious assignment: we photographed one of the events at the Democratic National Convention! We photographed this event for the Special Event Company. What can I say, we love Charlotte!
I started the photography coverage with the bride’s hair and makeup session. Indian bride getting ready is an intricate process! We had driven to Charlotte in the very very early morning after photographing Prantia and Shaum’s Wedding Reception at Raleigh Marriott City Center! There was a sehra bandi ceremony before the baraat. The baraat came along the lake behind the Hilton. The groom arrived on a white horse. The horse was provided by Faith Bradshaw of the White Horse Weddings. In fact, I worked with both Faith and the priest at Pranita and Shaum’s wedding as well! The groom was received by the bride’s family and was escorted to the mandap after the milni. The wedding venue was decorated by Katen Shah of the Elegant Designz. My good friend DJ Rang provided the music and lighting for the wedding. The ceremony was long and beautiful. The bride looked stunning! I love to capture candid images of the couple and families and it is always interesting to capture many emotions of an Indian bride.
After the ceremony, I did couple’s group session with friends and family. And then it was time for the couple’s portrait session! I enjoy this part of the wedding photography! We captured some of the images in Mandap and then went outside for few more. One of the image by the lake is one of my favorite images of this wedding. The cocktail reception had already started. So, it was time to get back to work!
Indian weddings are long. And I spend a lot of time working with the couples. I love what I do and I hope you will see that in these preview images. And if you like what you see, please like my facebook page: Facebook.com/iwpphotography.
