I had the pleasure of accompanying Ahmed of AAcreation to Vikki and Alluri’s Hindu wedding. The truth is, I have been dying to shoot a South Asian wedding for quite some time. The ceremonies are full of so much culture and tradition, not to mention amazing colors and details. Really, black and white images just don’t do much justice! It was wonderful to witness the various aspects of the ceremony, here are a few of my favorites…
The arrival and welcoming of Alluri and his family. Vikki’s mother attempts to pinch Alluri’s nose….
Kanya Aagaman – Vikki’s arrival. The curtain is a symbol of a traditional barrier…
I love the saris, henna, and bracelets. Love!
The way a bride and groom look at each other never gets old…
I think this is my favorite! I just adore the excitement on their faces…
Blessings from married women…
Diving for rings. I have to say Alluri took every round haha…
This part was really fun to watch. Vikki’s sisters steal Alluri’s shoes and hold them for ransom.
Ahmed, thank you for the opportunity to second shoot, and also for sharing your knowledge. It was such a joy to be apart of Vikki and Alluri’s wedding day!
