Jyotnsa and Shailesh gave me my first opportunity to work with an Indian couple for a Hindu wedding. It took a lot of trust on their part because while I did have the documentary photography style they were looking for I hadn't photographed a wedding quite like the one they were presenting me with. For starters, there were several events set across multiple days.

My first opportunity to take photos for them was the Sangeet, a dance party which precedes the ceremony. As I was on the way home from this amazing event and was preparing for the wedding to come, I sent a text to my second photographer, Scott, that said: "We are going to need more (CompactFlash) cards."

Photos from the even more amazing wedding day will follow, but for now please enjoy some fabulous photos of people having an amazing time at the Sangeet:
