I had an amazing time photographing Salim and Rozeena’s wedding events. The first night, the traditional Indian pithi ceremony took place where a paste, known as pithi, was rubbed on the bride and grooms face. This paste is made out of yellow turmeric and a mix of ingredients that are said to make skin look brighter and prettier for the wedding day. Well, the bride and groom sure looked beautiful! The second day, I came to their house to photograph them in their backyard, as well as go to the mosque to do the official marriage. Lots of family and friends joined in on the fun. Lastly, the official wedding reception started late that night at the Matt Ross Community Center. I felt like a part of the family by the end of the two days of festivities! These two are so in love and I wish them a life time of happiness.
