Ruth & Marco - Beach Wedding in Tuscany, Italy

Image
Ruth told me years ago that whenever she would get married I was going to be her photographer. She even chose her wedding date according to my busy traveling schedule. Things worked out just fine and I find myself on the shores of the Ligurian Sea, in Viareggio, Tuscany, ready to shoot my first wedding in Italy. A message for Marco:"Today there are 316 days since I love you." The ceremony takes place on the beach, at the Teresita resort: Marco has never seen the bouquet before: Pinky didn't want to miss this for the world and she came all the way from Carmagnola: There's only one finger still available: Mr. and Mrs. Fantoni: The good times begin right away: Arnold is happy to congratulate his Marco: We're in Italy, so I make sure I'm hungry: I didn't do any research, but I'm pretty sure Marco has the only Hummer in Italy: He has to share his time between that and his Harley: ... and his new wife. The sun sets behind the Pontile di Lido di Camaiore: Tha...

Suman & Raj - Punjabi Wedding in Edmonton and Calgary

We begin our journey just outside Calgary, in Chestermere, where the bride still resides in the morning of the wedding.  The founder of Sikhism, and the first of the ten Sikh gurus, oversees all the preparations:  Suman is now ready to say 'I do'.  Meanwhile, Raj spends the morning in his hotel room:  With or without the sehra, the groom looks royal.  The white horse can only improve that aspect during the baraat:  Suman's family is waiting for them in front of the gurdwara:  After the milni, everyone is a little hungry and a light breakfast, consisting of everything deep fried, fixes the temporary problem:   With full stomachs, we're ready for the 1 hour long Ceremony of Bliss.  In the balcony, there's someone who is not very happy with the direction things are headed to, but it's too late now:   Suman: "When I first met Raj, I came home and told my sister he was exactly like me. One of two things was going to happen: either we were goi...

Nav & Amar - Sikh Wedding at Gurdwara Siri Guru Singh Sabha

Image
As you may already know, prohibited areas are usually the most fascinating and appealing. So let's step in. Nav starts her wedding day with beautiful gifts from her husband to be, like a fancy purse: And shoes to match: Last, but not least, a t-shirt that she'll have to wear for the rest of her life: Her bridesmaids prove very useful: Meanwhile, I spend my morning with the groom. As soon as Amar's pants are on, Gurjot can proceed with the turban tying:  Nav: "I remember the first time I saw Amar, it was during a bhangra practice at the U of A. Amar had come in to 'teach' us and I thought to myself 'who is this guy and why does he think he can teach me bhangra?'. Fast forward a few months, we found each other on social media and exchanged numbers. Six months after our first meeting, he finally mustered up the courage to ask me out for our first date on July 1st, 2012. I always knew he was the one, and exactly six years later, it became a reality." U...
