Kaanpili. A fun Maharashtrian custom where the bride's brother pulls the ear of the groom and warns him that he'd better treat his sister well!

End and beginnings. Indian wedding are not only about grandeur and fun. Every once in a while there is a heady cocktail of emotions that you can't escape. Here is one capturing a sister in laws farewell and the parents of the bride look on. Nagpur, India. #indianweddings #emotions #farewell #vidaai #itsallabouttiming #nagpur #maharashtra #rituals #picoftheday #photooftheday #follow #reelsandframes

The most striking feature of a #hinduwedding is it's duration, which I guess would be the longest of all and the #colours in it... It's always a #delight for a #photographer ... The PIC captured the #ceremony known as #panigrahana which symbolises the promise made by #bridegroom to the #bride's #father that "he will take utmost care of his #daughter and will be her lifelong companion" and this #ritual is conducted just after #kanyadaan where the father #donates his daughter to the groom..

The bride overlooking the mandap, before stepping out... embarking on a new journey that awaits There are often times I feel the need to blend in or just be invisible to everyone around... only to be able to capture emotions that are held back by the sheer presence of someone around... moments that would otherwise not happen at all or just pass by unnoticed. Here's one such moment from a wedding I shot at the Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur @featuredphotographs @weddingphotoinspiration #BigFatIndianWedding #UmaidBhawanPalace #TajHotels #weddingphotography #IndianBride #ThinkShaadi #BridalWear #jj_forum_1392 #luxurywedding #destinationwedding #thebridesofindia #weddinggrid #thebridalaffair #IndianWedding #PalacesOfTaj #PalaceHotel #BeautifulHotels #sabmag #Grandeur #architecture #luxuryhotel #LuxuryWorldTraveler #featuredphotographs #travel #Jodhpur #Rajasthan #India #JunebugWeddings #IncredibleIndia #MaiBhiPhotographer
