Mahvash and Shorit are running a wedding marathon: they had two days of celebration in the US in December, and they will be traveling to India later this month for four more days of celebrations! I joined them to document their state-side celebrations, which included a dholki and their civil ceremony. For those of you not in the know (don’t worry, I had to Google dholki too), it’s a pre-wedding party that involves music (the name dholki comes from a drum by the same name that is used during the party), singing, dancing, and skits acted out by friends.
Shorit’s calm demeanor is a bit like the dholki drum – strong, steady, and constant. Mahvash’s bright energy is like the singing that rises, falls, and lifts your spirits. Together they make a beautiful song.
P.S. Make sure to check back next week to see images from their civil ceremony!
Congratulations !!!! May God Bless you with love and happiness !!!
Lovely pictures …will wait for the next ones too !!!
LOVE these. The COLORS. Awesome. The one of the two of them laughing together is my favorite!
Stunning shots. Very evocative of the occasion. Well done!
