MULTICULTURAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY CHICAGO

Indian wedding photography is all about rich colors

Colors are one of the most distinguishing aspects of Indian weddings. Our culture-rich wedding ceremonies are made even brighter and more vibrant with the colors of the outfits, the décor, the food, and the rituals. As an experienced Indian wedding photography team in Chicago offering country-wide services all over the U.S., we know how important a role, color plays in the whole experience. That is exactly why we make sure to perfectly capture the colors, even in the tiniest of details. Our client diaries are always bursting with color for the same reason, once again, telling love stories that will inevitably remind you of home.

Hindu Weddings

A typical Hindu wedding will have two to three days of festivities as explained above. Filled with historically significant rituals, traditional practices, and a plethora of vibrant colors, Hindu weddings are a feast for the eyes and the soul. Starting from the wedding preparations to the “vidaai” ceremony, our team makes sure to capture every single important detail of your big day. We have captured Gujarati, Tamil, Malayali, and Telugu styles in Hindu weddings over a span of 30 years and each one is magnificent in its own way. We understand that it can be challenging to find a photographer who films through the endearing complexities of a Hindu wedding and manages to deliver something extraordinary. At Roopen Photography, not only do we have extensive experience with Hindu weddings, but we also go the extra mile to deliver a refreshing new wedding experience for our clients.

Sikh Weddings

Roopen Photography offers the most extensive converge in Sikh weddings as well. As per the Sikh culture, the bride receives “chuda” or red bangles from her maternal uncle or “maama” which marks the beginning of festivities. The bangles are one of the most important elements of a Sikh wedding and it cues other events which are equally culture-rich and symbolic. The Sikh culture also boasts of many religiously significant rituals and ceremonies before and after the main event. The wedding as such is called “Anand Karaj” which translates to “blissful union”. It is most often held at a Gurudwara during the daytime, centered around the ‘Guru Granth Sahib” and it is conceded by a spiritual leader called “Amritdhari”. The families proceed to more wonderful and culture-rich ceremonies at the hall and move on to celebrations. Only an experienced photographer can deliver the perfect Sikh love story with grace, while promptly recording all the Sikh rituals and ceremonies. If you are looking for a reliable photography partner that “gets” a Sikh wedding and makes a beautiful story out of it, we are your best bet.

Muslim Weddings

In a Muslim wedding, the bride and groom make an eternal promise to stay together through thick and thin along with grand celebrations. The event is usually conceded by the “Qazi” or the head of the mosque who officiates the union. At the main wedding event called the “Nikah”, the bride and the groom are required to repeat the word “Qubool” three times as a mark of accepting the other as their spouse. It is when the couple legally becomes one. The entire ceremony comprises many delicate details including the recital of “du’as, the different elements of the attire, and the ceremony itself, all of which have to be captured accurately using close-up shots, and multi-angle shots. We have more than 40 years of experience filming Muslim weddings as well, and we know an epic shot before we see one. Contact our team if you have an extraordinary Muslim ceremony in mind.
