In the midst of the a busy local wedding photography season, it was nice to have a little break from the norm to head back to Savannah, Georgia for the second time this year. This time it was for Rajul & Anuj’s Indian wedding! We love Savannah! Not sure what it is. Perhaps the history of this port city, or maybe the Southern charm it has, but everytime we go we have a wonderful time! This time was no exception!
The weekend July 4th, is significant of our country’s independence, a new beginning and a fresh start for this great country of ours. What an appropriate time to have a wedding! A beginning, a fresh start as husband and wife, as one. This first chapter in their life as husband and wife, a new beginning that we have the honor of celebrating with this fun couple.
The ceremony & reception took place at the Westin Savannah Resort just across the river on Hutchinson Island. The view from the Westin is a fresh view looking toward Savannah’s historic riverstreet. Can I also mention how much I love working with my wife. It is a joy to have Katie there to capture Rajul getting ready. She is a unobtrusive, yet calming presence among the busyness of the day. As you see, Rajul is in a place where is puts the finishing touches on in complete serenity.
We shared with you all the portraits of Rajul, but we could not resist sharing more with you.
The ceremony was a wonderful celebration of these two coming together as their culture shines through. I love this first show of Anuj as he enters the ceremony. He was escorted by Rajul’s mom and sister to await his bride.
At the end of the ceremony with Rajul & Anuj and their family, they enter into another ceremony. The Vidai is a beautiful exhibit of the bride leaving her parents to be with her husband and is a rather emotional one too.
Once the emotions settled we took Rajul & Anuj away for some photographs around Historic Savannah.
With all Indian weddings there is a good break in between to allow the guest and the bride and groom time to change into their evening wear. The couple then met up with us for a few more photographs before seeing their guests at their reception.
Oh, and how can we forget about the decor! There were some beautiful arrangements along each table but the whole place had a very relaxed atmosphere created by Utopian Events.
As the reception went on the couple had their beautiful first dance.
We wish Rajul and Anuj the best together and a long and happy life together! Thank you for the honor of allow us to be a part of your day!
