Gujarati Wedding Ceremony at Fairfield, Sydney

GEETI AND KAPIL'S TRADITIONAL GUJARATI WEDDING CEREMONY After the gorgeous 'e-session' photoshoot   of Geeti and Kapil, it was time for them to tie the knot. The big day arrived and I started the day at Geeti's place for the Bridal shoot which included a small ceremony/puja.  Straight after the Bridal shoot, I headed to the Ambassador Lounge in Fairfield where the wedding ceremony was to be held.  Being a Gujarati wedding, it was full of lovely and colourful dresses, friendly people and tasty food. The various ceremonies of the wedding went smoothly and it was quite an enjoyable experience shooting with the couple and their family and friends.  Overall, a lovely wedding shoot of a gorgeous couple.  Complete gallery is on our website .
