Shalini & Robert – Western & Hindu ceremonies, 28th & 29th August

I have had an opportunity to shoot my first Hindu wedding ceremony over August Bank Holiday weekend. Shalini & Robert were having a Western ceremony on the Saturday and a Hindu ceremony on the Sunday. My work actually started late on Friday afternoon with the bride at a Hindu pre-wedding ceremony. It was a very busy weekend but also very enjoyable. The most interesting part was understanding the various stages of the Hindu ceremony from when the two families meet each other through to when the groom takes the bride away signified by the crushing of a coconut under a wheel of the wedding car.

Working with my assistant Kerrie we ended up with over 2500 images from the entire weekend. Here are a few from both days…

Back in July I covered the wedding of Joanne and Jonathan, their pre-wedding shoot was featured on my blog some time back. Here are a few photos from the wedding day…

A simple window lit portrait

While getting set up for a wedding I thought I’d check out the light coming in from one of the windows in the room the Bride was using. Add to that the Canon 5D Mk2 and a 50mm f1.8 lens at f1.8 plus a little bit of processing and the results were simply stunning. Here is a photo I took of my assistant Kerrie…
