A few weeks before the wedding.

eema and Nat's wedding is going to be a traditional Indian wedding this June 25-27th in Detroit. They are expecting nearly 500 guests to attend this two and one half day wedding extravaganza. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Indian weddings the Baraat is when the groom and his family and friends arrive to meet with his bride then both families bestow blessings on the bride and groom. Well... the grooms arrival is a pretty raucous affair, he is accompanied by musicians, drummers and dancing and singing is the rule . The groom usually arrives by horseback

H ere are a few of the engagement portrait session we had just the other day here at our studio at South Street Seaport in New York City. Even though it was a perfectly sunny day we spent most of the shoot in the studio coming up with some pretty different and creative ideas. On her wedding day coming up in June, Seema and Nat will be dressed mostly in traditional Indian wedding garb so they brought to the shoot something they would not be wearing on the wedding day. The proofs from that session is in my proof site , so if you want to see more just click here.
