anne & ganesh | cornerstone wedding | part one

This was a day so saturated with color, joy, ceremony and love. There were so many amazing details and moments to capture, and since my blog posts are already notoriously long, I thought I’d break this post up into two parts, beginning with the traditional Indian ceremony in front of the lotus pond at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma. This is the first Hindu ceremony I’ve ever photographed and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of all of the family participation, the movement., the chanting and the symbolism throughout. The ceremony concluded with mango lassis and sweets while Anne and Ganesh went to change for their western ceremony…post number two coming up…
