Congratulations Beth and Pavan on your wedding celebrations.

The bride, Beth, is a good friend of mine from my university days. So when she invited me to attend and be a guest at her wedding, it was an easy decision. I said, 'yes'.

Though I was not the official photographer of the celebration, I got an important job. I was asked to be the personal bride photographer. Beth knew that I was trying to get wedding photography portfolio. Thanks, Besh.

FINAL GOWN FITTING

Just had to make sure that the gown fits perfectly days before the wedding day.

MEHNDI (or MEHENDI)

Mehndi (or mehendi) is a form of body art from ancient India, in which decorative designs are created on a person's arms, hands, and feet. A number of ladies attending the ceremony had their arms painted with a paste, created from the powdered dry leaves of the henna plant.

WEDDING CEREMONY

I was told that a part of the ceremony had to be done in certain "time". This particular "time" was calculated based on the zodiac signs of the bride and the groom. And it took about 4-5 hours. There were a lot of things happening, but I got lost in the first hour.
