The Sangeet Session

Ok, I haven’t posted in over a month.  I know, it’s horrible.  However, I didn’t expect to suddenly be this busy over the Holidays.  Since everyone had a break, most people wanted to get new pictures, get married, get engaged, or just try to meet me for meetings.  So between covering weddings, engagement sessions, family portraits, special events, out of state weddings, protests and vigils,  nobel peace prize winners,  designing multiple albums, doing kids shoots, and having meetings for the upcoming summer season… I finally have a little bit of time to breath.  I just have a few shoots to finish up editing and retouching, and I will post a whole bunch of new stuff within this month and next.  2009 is going to be an awesome year, so be sure to stay tuned on a regular basis 🙂

Now… onward with the post…

Tina contacted me last year out of nowhere and wanted to meet with me to discuss an event for her wedding.  She told me it was for a sangeet session, and she really wanted me to cover it.  Now I know most Indian cultures, however, I’ve never heard of a sangeet session before… let alone cover it.  She was of Sikh descent, and this was a very common function before the wedding.  She explained to me what the session was basically after the mehndi (henna) where friends and family gathered and sung to the bride.  I thought that was awesome, and was quite excited to cover a Sikh event.  Although I don’t understand Hindi fluently, I understood most of the songs and advices.  All I can say is…  it was hilarious.  We were all laughing almost the entire time.  On a side note, Tina’s grandma makes some killer desert.  I had this one thing (creamcheese tiramisu I think?) and I had to have 3 servings of it.  Amazing stuff!

So without further delay… I present the images:
