Once I get some digital shots back, from our Indian wedding (I am a Hindu, and my wife is Caucasian) I will try to get some up. We do not kiss much either, when close to parents. That, it's one of those 'cultural' things. In India (not sure about Pakistan, and Muslim Countries (though they are mostly the same)), parents hardly talk to their kids about the birds and the bees. So, obviously, kissing doesn't happen in front of the 'elders' and parents. Sex doesn't happen before marriage. -- Eventually, though, I am sure some traditions will no longer be...but such is life.

In the Western Nations, kissing is more accepted, and almost expected during weddings. So, having lived here in the U.S. since I was a kid, and also living in the Himalayas, as a kid, I have been exposed to lots of cultural nuances. For me, it just broadens my perspective.

I do have one photo from the wedding, to share...though, not a professional one. It's myself, and my sister-in-law...and Christian, our photographer, for the entire process. Had a great time...

Now I get to enjoy her beauty and colors!!

A tip on the picture of her leaning on the wall... duplicate the background layer and select Screen as blending mode and you'll see something amazing!


AWESOME TIP!! Thanks!!!

Please say you got close-ups of the henna on her hands! I'd love to see a shot of that. Someday I'll book an Indian wedding, and I'll be really excited.

Nice photos! A great idea for Indian weddings is to take pictures of the temporary henna tattoo on the bride, is supposed to be worn only at special times, Indian people call it mehendi.

Yup I've got many of those - will post some later on when i get home from work :) I was taking photos as she was getting it painted on.
