One of the many advantages of working in wedding photography and video is being able to witness some of the beautiful traditional rituals of our multicultural clients. From Jewish wedding ceremonies under a Chuppah to American and African fusion celebrations our photographers and videographers respect and appreciate all cultures!
No matter the tradition, planning a wedding is hard work! Securing a date, finding a venue that fits your needs (and budget) and then inviting (and paying for) 100 or more of your closest friends and family to celebrate with you…It can be a daunting task! Most brides have a hard time planning one wedding and would probably gasp at the idea of organizing a 3-day wedding celebration! But that is exactly what Indian couples do!
Our photographers and videographers have had the pleasure of capturing several Indian Weddings and have fallen in love with the beautiful traditions. Our Indian clients love the fact that they can customize our wedding package to fit the diverse needs of each day’s events and not break the bank! Curious to know what happens during an Indian wedding? Keep reading for a breakdown of the 3 day celebration!
NYC is one the biggest tourist destinations in the world.

We photograph and film hundreds of beautiful NYC weddings every year. The couples always appear to be deeply in love and connected. Finding that one special person to spend the rest of your life with is something most of us dream about! Sadly, high profile divorces (or conscious uncoupling as it’s being referred to) of some of our favorite stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin; Heidi Klum and Seal; Katy Perry and Russell Brand; Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony and Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes(remember that “coach surfing” Oprah interview?) make even the most optimistic couples nervous! So our team was overjoyed to have read the recent NY Times article written by former Forbes reporter, Claire Cain Miller, debunking the myth that half of marriages end in divorce. According to her article and research done by University of Michigan economist, divorce rates are actually falling!
There are several factors that the article explores; changing gender roles (yes men cook too!) waiting later in life to get married and (our favorite) marrying for love instead of economic gain; as contributing factors to this welcomed decline. Perhaps the new same sex marriage laws being passed in the United States (about time!) is a positive contributor to this new trend as well.One of our favorite gay couples, Gary & John had been together for 38 years (talk about standing the test of time!) when we shot their beautiful wedding video!
