One of my favorite photographers, Jihan Abdalla, is becoming an expert in Indian weddings.
Every Indian wedding I coordinated elevated me to a whole new level of vibrancy and happiness. The joy is expressed in overwhelmingly marvellous colors and is very infectious. Jihan Abdalla dove into the feast of Tarun and Malini’s wedding at the Rockleigh Country Club in New Jersey and came back out with a cornucopia of amazing pictures.
Many meaningful and ancient rituals make the ceremonies hours long. Guests are not glued to chairs but entertain themselves during the ceremony with food and drinks and come back to join again.
The trend of American weddings to begin with a welcome reception might have grown out of these easygoing celebrations.
Pre-parties, ceremony and reception - colors change using the whole painter's palette.
To play with these rich colors, ah the happiness...
Can life ever be dull again?
Thank you, Jihan.
