Baltimore Marriott Waterfront || Indian Wedding || Kunal + Milly || Day One

Traditional Wedding Photographer

Milly & Kunal have known each other since childhood. They lived in different states, Milly in Chicago and Kunal in Ann Arbor, while planning their wedding in Baltimore. Their wedding day was full of traditional elements and several ceremonies. One of them was the henna ceremony.
Mehndi, otherwise known as henna, is a paste associated with positive spirits and good luck. Indian Wedding tradition calls for a Mehndi ceremony to be held the night before the wedding as a way of wishing the bride good health and prosperity as she makes her journey on to the marriage. The Mehndi Ceremony is organized by the Bride’s family bringing together the female components of each side. While Mehndi is mainly for females, male relatives are invited to join in on the party that comes after the Bride has completed her henna. 
The core significance of applying Mehndi is to utilize its natural medicinal herbal remedies, cooling the body and relieving the Bride of any stress before her big day. Henna is applied to both the hands and the feet as a means of cooling the nerve-endings of the body, preventing the nerves from tensing up.

I am unbelievably happy to work as a photographer because I can witness fascinating, traditional, unique and special moments of each couple. Please contact me if you want to get a photo session for any occasion of yours. It can be taken in any place of the world, believe me, I will be glad to help you all the ways that I can!
