I had two Hindu ceremonies to photograph this year, and they were within 4 days of each other! Aruna and Rajeev were married in the morning at The Hindu Temple Society of Augusta in Georgia, then had an evening reception at the North Augusta Municipal Center in South Carolina. The precious little man on the left in the photo below is Aruna's son, and on the right is her nephew.The day started off with a ceremony for the groom, then the Barath - where Rajeev rode up to the Temple on a horse.There was plenty of dancing and celebrating!Aruna having her last minute finishing touches put on by the women in her family.The boys were bored by the ceremony - I love this shot!There was a change of wardrobe for the evening reception.Aruna and Rajeev's Friends and Family put on a great skit to some music!Congrats Aruna and Rajeev, thanks so much for having me as your Augusta Wedding Photographer!
Sherry & Abhishek's Engagement Celebration in Augusta
Sherry and Abhishek are engaged, and getting married next year in Philadelphia. They decided to have an engagement celebration in Abhishek's hometown of Augusta this fall. I really enjoyed working with these two, they are so fun and happy together! First, we photographed the ceremony in the morning that was held at Abhishek's mother's home.I love the bright colors and symbolism in a Hindu ceremony.Saturday evening was the reception at the Savannah Rapids Pavillion in Martinez, GA (very close to Augusta).Isn't the cake magnificent!?!The backdrop of the Savannah River and Historic Augusta Canal was just perfect.There were some fantastic dances in honor of the couple.And some great toasts as well.But the most fun was when Abhishek proposed to Sherry again, in front of everyone!Congratulations you two!www.CourtneyGoldman.com
