Wedding Photography - Pauny and Raja
I shot Pauny and Raja’s wedding last month. These guys had already been married in another wedding ceremony in India (where Raja is from) and this was the Persian wedding ceremony for Pauny’s family who are based here in the Bay Area. It’s not the first time I’ve seen a couple have more than one ceremony to honor both the bride and the groom’s cultures, although this time they didn’t do three wedding ceremonies on the same day.
On the last wedding I blogged about, I was using more black-and-white, this time I went a step further. I did a mix of color and black-and-white, as well as adding some split toning and other post-processing techniques into the mix. For a long time I always strove for accurate color and a very straightforward documentary style; I think I got a little bored with that, so I went a little more creative with the developing on this set. Luckily the bride and groom LOVED them. I don’t think I’ll go this route with every wedding I shoot, but it’s fun to change things up a bit every once and a while.
Here are some of my favorite shots from Pauny and Raja’s wedding:
