Sikh Wedding Vancouver // Susan & Jag
Susan and Jag didn’t want the typical, traditional indian wedding photos. They wanted something else, something different, which is why they got in touch with us in the first place.
We had never done a Sikh wedding before, so our fresh vision was exactly what they were looking for.
Their wedding brought us into a culture that we knew very little about: Sikh. We sat in their temples, ate their food, listened to their music and immersed ourselves in their world. But we approached this very unique wedding experience the exact same way we approach weddings in Iceland, Mexico, Sweden, Vancouver or anywhere else.
Because no matter the location, no matter the culture, it’s always about the same thing: telling the story, the way we see it.
Their three day wedding extravaganza involved photography in Steveston, Richmond, downtown Vancouver, Delta and Surrey. When it was all said and done, these two had spent more time in front of our cameras then anybody else we’d taken pictures of.
We were told before this wedding that Indian weddings were incredible, and they truly are. We can’t wait to do more.
Thursday, warm-up.
Saturday, ceremony day.
Sunday, time to celebrate.
Susan and Jag’s Sikh wedding was featured on Junebug Weddings.

Brilliant. Absolutely. I really like how you photograph each and everything happening around you, very photo-journalistic approach. It's so good to see emotions, moments being photographed as they happen rather than being made to happen. It's good that one is new to a certain style of wedding and rituals so it becomes easier to picture and photograph. If a person who doesn't know the wedding rituals of a Christian wedding, might turn out some images that are never taken by others. Something similar did work here for you. I am glad that you like Indian style of wedding. When it comes to Music, we Indian's are one crazy bunch.

Most photographers have a "high point" in their posts, a part of the day that you can clearly see they were more comfortable with the setting that other parts of the day. Your work is consistently brilliant and that for me is the mark of an artist. You have a beautiful way of seeing and seamlessly translate that into frames.

Shari DeAngelo

I am a huge fan of the hand shots. There's so much emotion and energy there but it's subtle and quiet and gorgeous. The photos of the couple at the construction site are just *epic*.
