Absolutely loved this wedding ✨

The getting ready with a view 😍
A perfect first look in the garden JUST before it started sprinkling. ☔️
A wedding party full of energy, love + care, they were even asking US (the vendors) if we need anything 🥹
Stunning decor 🪩
Families who embraced a different culture (different music, food, and traditions) 🖤
A couple who prioritized each other that day, and were so sweet and appreciative of all the people (vendors included) around them. 🫶🏼

Jazmine + Muanya’s TRAD WEDDING!!! 🤩💵🧉🕺🏾💃🏽

This Nigerian fusion celebration was such a blast to capture!

Muanya is from the Igbo tribe, so we witnessed some of their wedding traditions:

Kola Nut Ceremony —
The groom’s family breaks the kola nut and serves it to the bride’s family, as the ultimate gesture of hospitality. The kola nuts are shared among many members as a way of establishing peace, equality, and friendship.

The Palm W**e Ceremony —
Jazmine had to “find” Muanya among the crowd and serve him palm w**e. Palm w**e is from the sap of palm trees and symbolizes unity, respect, and celebration of life. It is the official covenant part of the wedding!

As expected, there was also tons of dancing + money spraying!! 😅💵 An outfit change, more grand entrances, speeches, and ultimately the beautiful coming together of two families, two cultures. 🖤

Congratulations Jazmine + Muanya — or as you are lovingly called by friends and family — Jazya!! 🍾

The One Where They Got Married 🥹

Ishaa & Jacob!!!! 🤩

What an incredible 3 day ✨ FUSION WEDDING!!! ✨

From the Mehndi, to Haldi, to Sangeet, to Wedding…

This was the type of wedding where people from so many cultures come together and experience something new, but something that feels like home.

It was the type of wedding where the bride sings happy birthday to someone else, on her wedding day.

The type of wedding where I spotted a monarch butterfly 🦋 just before the ceremony.

A wedding full of happy tears. 🥲

The type of wedding where — amidst the moments of chaos or things not going to plan — the bride and groom, along with their whole wedding party and families, kept the most positive spirits, and kept laughing. 💛

Congratulations Ishaa & Jacob, it was truly an honor to capture your celebration!

✨ Magic ✨

When I created these photos during Ishaa + Jacob’s wedding day, I knew this would be the section of the gallery I would be running to first to look at and edit. 😍

It might seem like magic, but this series of images were not photoshopped or even created with double exposure. I simply placed my getfractals prism in front of my 50mm lens and snapped a variety as I shifted the prism back and forth. And although I’ve used these prisms for yeaaarrrs, this art is some of my favorite I’ve ever created!! 🤩

💕 Thanks to Kahani Events & Design | Reena Maheshwari | MN Weddings for the garland installation.
💕 Thanks to the videographer Morgan who stopped us to point out the sunset through the garlands!!

💕 Shout out to the stunning newlyweds, ishaa ॐ & Jacob Conley

3 Day Indian Wedding RECAP!! 🤩✨

Congrats to Nandita + Ranveer! Their wedding this weekend in Rochester was beyond epic!! 😍 from the pool jumping at the Haldi to the bride + groom shooting the CO2 cannons on Saturday night, it was one heck of a celebration!! The bride + groom are both Indian, but have two different religions - so there was a Hindu wedding and a Sikh wedding. The weekend was rich with cultural traditions, and even though I’ve photographed many Desi weddings, there were still some new elements to me!

One of my favorite aspects of this weekend was the fact that the groom’s family and many of their friends grew up or lived in Kenya! It was a wild connection to be surrounded by Indians but being able to practice my Swahili with them. 🥰 ninajaribu — I’m trying — lol! And my husband came as my amazing assistant so he had a blast bonding with them as well!!

Thank you Nandita, Ranveer + families for trusting us to capture your beautiful weekend! 🖤

Thank you to the INCREDIBLE VENDOR TEAM who made this weekend spectacular!!
