A 3 day Indian / western fusion wedding!
You look at this couple’s smile and the only thought that pops into your head is: “You are the first and the last thing on my mind each and every day”. That is what I saw throughout the 3 day wedding of Adam & Ekta. Their beautiful wedding was a combination of a Hindu Traditional Ceremony and Western wedding. The traditional Hindu ceremony was a combination of beautiful traditions with deep meaning associated with each tradition. The western wedding on the other hand was a simple yet beautiful ceremony that was held with the couple’s friend and family witnessing their union into one family.
Bond’s Same Day Slideshow
The Reception slideshow above is included in everyone one of our wedding collections and is very well loved by both family and friends. It is composed of a selection of photos from the time the bride and groom are getting ready to the ceremony, family formals and creative formals. It is presented in a classic black and white video format that we show during the reception on a projector and a screen we bring along with us. We also upload the same slideshow the very next day to our blog for everyone to enjoy while we edit and prepare the wedding day images.

Their story <3 – Engagement Session
I photographed Adam & Ekta at the Muttart Conservatory for their engagement session a few weeks ago. You can read the story of this cute couple and see their engagement photo right here: Bond’s Engagement Session.
Day 1 – Mehndi
This is the first day we photographed the bride. The tradition is called Mehndi (Henna). During this tradition the bride is tattooed with beautiful designs on her hand and her feet with Henna ink. The other female members of the family also get some designs made on this day. It is often followed with food, music and celebrations.
Day 2 – Hindu Ceremony at the Hindu Society of Alberta, Edmonton
Bride Getting Ready
We photographed Ekta getting ready as she wore her beautiful Red Wedding dress and was then took her father’s blessings in the traditional hindu manner (ashirwad). Following that, Ekta’s mom fed her some sweet youghurt as part of another tradition when starting something new.
Traditional Hindu Ceremony at the Hindu Society of Alberta
The Hindu Traditional Wedding ceremony was beautiful to photograph and had a lot of emotions tied to it. There was a focus on family values, respect and the idea of living together happily. It was a privilege to photograph such an intimate and beautiful moment in Ekta & Adam’s life!
Joota Chupai
One of the oldest traditions for Indian weddings is that of Jutta Chupai (Hiding the shoe). The bridesmaid hid the groom’s shoe who then had to pay a hefty amount to get it back from them. It was a joyous occasion and Adam did not put up much of struggle before the terms of the agreement were settled. Following the Jutta chupai, Mira (Ekta’s sister) and Adam had a moment of sibling love and it was adorable to photograph!
The Farewell (Vidayi)
This was by far one of the most emotional things I have photographed. After receiving blessings from all of the members of the Bride’s family, Ekta had to say good bye to her old house and family as she joined Adam in a new life. It was full of tears of joy and sadness. Joy at the start of a beautiful adventure and sadness for the departure from her family.
Day 3 – Western Wedding at the Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton, AB
Groom and the Groomsmen Getting Ready
You know handsome groomsmen? Well I know some and they are right here in these photos. It was a very cool edition when Adam’s brother Dallas (the bestman) had a set of Japenese swords… Like wow…
Bride Getting Ready
These are some of the photographs from the bride getting ready. She looked absolutely stunning in that white dress! In the meantime a very beautiful maid of honor helped her get ready!
Ceremony at the Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton, AB
The Western Wedding ceremony was held at the Royal Glenora Club. It was a beautiful and emotional ceremony. It had a rock ceremony as well where all the guests and loved ones wished happiness upon the lovely couple.
Creative Formal Portraits at The Legislature Building, Edmonton AB
Following the ceremony, we went out to the legislature grounds for some amazing portraits of this lovely couple!
I pride myself in my ability to create artwork for the couples I photograph and this couple made it very easy! They looked absolutely beautiful together at their wedding at Royal Glenora Club edmonton.
We were so fortunate to be a part Adam & Ekta’s wedding. It was an absolute honor to be a part of their day!
