Indian weddings are like no other events on this earth. Marriage is deemed the most important event in the life of the couple and hence families (both those of the bride and groom) spend a fortune – often their life time earnings – on marriages. Right from betrothal, pre wedding events, and reception to the actual marriage rituals and finally sending the bride to her in-law’s home, every single event receives an exclusive attention and conducted with due reverence, dedication and allegiance to tradition. As an Indian wedding photographer California, I had the cherished opportunity to be part of a large number of Indian weddings and I carry the most unforgettable memories of many of them to this day.
The fusion of tradition and modernity
Indian marriages always keep up their allegiance to tradition and there are some regional varieties noted across the wedding ceremonies of the Hindus in the North and the South; Gujaratis, Rajasthanis, Bengalis, and Sikhs for instance. There is a baffling variety of rituals and events that make up Indian weddings. However, the modern day Indian couples get to exercise their free-will, tastes, and preferences to infuse some elements of modernity in every element of their big day. A photographer must keep this in mind so that they know how to prioritize covering the different elements of the marriage.
Guest-oriented, yet intimate
How you are received as a guest to an Indian marriage is something you will cherish for a lifetime. To the best of their abilities, Indian families extend a cordial welcome to every guest and ensure that they are well received, attended to and honored at every event. However, the hero and the heroine are the main focus, for whom the event is an intimate occasion signifying a lifetime bond of love and comradeship. An Indian wedding album can’t just accept leaving out any single attendee to the marriage. An Indian wedding photographer has the big challenge of balancing between the guests and the couple with the due focus the two topics must receive.
Events and rituals are non-negotiable
Every single event and ritual is non-negotiable for the couple as well as their families. Allegiance to the tradition is something we see in the blood of Indians and hence they organize every single ritual and ceremony with great attention to minute details. In several cases, Indian weddings stretch over several days and the photographer covering the event must be on their heels not to miss out anything and provide the most comprehensive coverage of the entire wedding from start to the finish line.
Take Away
Indian families looking forward to hire the best Indian wedding photographer California have their own typical expectations that only a seasoned Indian wedding photographer can understand and duly fulfill. At the end of every wedding, the photographer leaves the scene with a heavy heart, carrying the new bond they developed with the families and couples. Finally, when the photographer hands over the albums or digital collection of edited photographs to the couple, it is received as the biggest and most meaningful gift of their wedding, evoking a feeling in the photographer’s heart that cannot be matched on this earth.
