Matt & Preena Wedding
A multicultural celebration at Wrest Park in England.
Two weddings in one day.
Matthew and Preena shared not one but two ceremonies; both a Western marriage ceremony and a traditional Hindu "Mandap". The Mandap was one of the most colourful, lighthearted and inclusive ceremonies I've ever had the privilege to capture. It involves both family's participation and has many different traditional elements including offerings to the gods, promises made between the parents to care for each others child and even a part where the women of the family offer secret marriage advice to the bride. The whole day was a beautiful meeting of families, traditions and cultures.
