Indian Chinese Wedding at Grand Baccus

One thing I love about Toronto is the diverse cultures we have here, and how as Canadians we are encouraged to celebrate and be proud of our cultural background.  I also love being a wedding photographer for this reason.

I get to see so many different cultures and traditions, it really keeps my job interesting and fresh.

Indian Weddings have long been a favorite of mine to photograph,  and Chinese weddings are a close second.

Both these cultures celebrate with such colorful, rich traditions.

For example; The Indian Baraat when the groom arrives at the wedding ceremony with his family,  he is often on horseback or sometimes an elephant, this is a very colorful, festive atmosphere with lots of dancing and drummers.

The Chinese have a beautiful way of paying respect to their elders with a traditional tea ceremony, where the bride and groom serve tea to their family.

So when Brenda and Jitesh asked me to photograph their two day’s of  festivities in Toronto,  I was honored, and I knew it would be a great opportunity to capture some wonderful moments  It didn’t hurt either that Brenda and Jitesh have such magical chemisty between them!

It was such a pleasure to be there to witness and document the blending of these two rich cultures.

Congratulations Brenda and Jitesh!

I wish you both many years of happiness (double Happiness!)

And a special shout out to Jodie from The Social Butterfly!
