Anita & Ondrej had a pretty special wedding day…two ceremonies! Anita is Indian, so an Indian ceremony took place in the morning and a western ceremony in the evening. Pretty cool stuff…take a look!
I LOVE photographing Indian weddings, they are some of my favorite work being a wedding photographer in Cleveland. Indian Weddings are so full of life, pageantry, family and love – they are such a joy to capture.
This image is from later in the day – before their western ceremony. I love the soft hue of the image.
Anita had a lot of really pretty jewelry she wore for the Indian ceremony.
One of my favorite parts of Indian weddings is the henna drawn on the bride and bridesmaid’s hands. You can see the henna in the image below. It’s super intricate and detailed.
I love candid and story-telling image – the picture above of Anita shows SO much character and life, totally expressing who she is and her joy for the day.
All of the ladies’ Sarees were elegant and beautiful…one of my favorite parts of being an indian wedding photographer in cleveland
.
Ondrej rode in on a horse during the Barrat. Every Indian wedding is different…sometimes the groom will ride in on an elephant! I just love the celebration and joy.
Lots of dancing and celebrating took place outside the Sheraton in Cuyahoga Falls as Ondrej rode in before the Indian Wedding Ceremony.
This was definitely one of the more memorable parts of the day. Everyone was dancin’ it up!
Even Grandma was dancing ๐
After this, we headed in for the Indian wedding ceremony at the Sheraton in Cuyahoga Falls.
I loved all the detail shots from this wedding. Anita, nice touches…everything was perfect ๐
Here’s more images of Anita’s henna. I was super impressed with the outcome.
The wedding reception took place at the Akron Museum of Art…such a cool building architecturally.
The Akron Art Museum is one of my favorite wedding reception venues to photograph at as it is such a unique reception hall.
We had the opportunity prior to the reception to take a handful of creatives outside, and these images ended up being some of my absolute favorites from their day.
They changed out of their Indian clothing and into a traditional dress, suit & tie.
The tone and romance in the image above is undeniable. They looked so good. And I think they like each other…just a little bit…
Ondrej is the definition of stud. Just look at the dude! Classy guy all around.
Real laughter is the best. These two do a lot of that.
Ondrej, I think you found a keeper in Anita ๐
The architecture near the Akron Museum of Art is the best. We found some really cool places to shoot.
Including directly in front of the building. It makes for a killer backdrop.
The image above is from their western wedding ceremony at the Akron Art Museum.
There were quite a few guests at this wedding…especially from Anita’s side.
I love the candids in this set of images. There’s a lot of happiness going on there.
And then the party hit the dance floor. Like whoa. It was a killer party.
These people know how to bust a move. And let me tell ya, they went all out.
I love the image above looking down on the dance floor. I especially love Anita’s face near the top middle – this is priceless!
Anita & Ondrej – thanks for letting me be apart of your big day. I’m truly happy for you two!
