I guess the cheek pinching is an Indian thing?

Some pretty good images. IMG_8818 is an awesome family portrait, too bad the WB isn't right.

Also, when you get the images, request the RAW files as well in case you want to process any of them yourself.

have no fear, photochopped here

The photographers have finally given us a preview of how our wedding shots will look in the Final Album. We picked 500 shots from the ~7000 originals, and these are the ones that have already been re-touched and ready for print. (Its only about 35)

If you are interested in what a Hindu wedding looks like, take a look.

Wedding Pics

Pics taken May 28th of this year at our wedding/reception near my wife's hometown of Livonia, MI

Photography buffs, feel free to post your thoughts or recommendations (if any) that I can give to the photographer before they finalize and print.

If anyone else has any questions or curious about the Indian wedding tradition, feel free to reply or PM I would be happy to enlighten you. It was a great weekend and talking about it makes it like I am living it again

You have a big nose...











No Worries... Mine's Bigger
Big-Ass Nose
And this is what I do in the office

Seriously, great pics dude. Congrats

So this was the full wedding, yes?

The first one of this kind that I went to took me by surprise. Three days! And then the bride and groom traveling around the room on the journey of life, so to speak. Did you go through the same thing? Did her brothers block you from going farther until you gave them a gift? I am trying to remember it all...

The funny thing is that the groom was a white as they come and had that deer in headlights look the whole weekend we were there. I think if he knew what the whole ceremony was going to entail, I think he would have preferred to run off to Vegas.

Forgive me if I am being rude. But what are those patterns on the women?s hands?

I take it they?re not permanent?

It's called Henna/Mehendi. Text
Very popular in India/Pakistan. Also very popular in Islamic cultures.

It usually lasts a week or so - also a very good natural hair softener/conditioner but you also dye your hair maroon in the process

Congrats dude. Arranged?

I found a 'before' pic from my cousin's wedding. It's applied the night before and it turns dark red/brown overnight. Can't find a decent 'after' pic.

Wow How did this thread get bumped after so long? LOL i was readign the title and I was like "wait a minute that sounds familiar!!"

Anyway.. Not arranged, but i was told by a family friend that she was going to be in town (NYC) if I wanted to meet up with her.. We dated for about a year before deciding to get married.

Yep full wedding. We did all that, the traveling around the room you talk about is probably the walking around the fire four times... Her brother (well cousin) blocked me from going on the fourth trip around until i promised him that i would forgive my wife for anytime she fvcks up in the future lol.
