0524 Success in the WPJA Q2 !

I was pleased to get an award, 18th place, for this image in the recent WPJA 2nd quarter judging.

This was taken at Praveen and Harmeets wedding I photographed in July this year. It took place over 3 days and this particular image was taken on day 1 at Praveen’s parents home straight after the Henna ceremony. This was extremely difficult to take as I was crammed up against a wall and couldn’t get the camera to my eye. I therefore had to guess, manually focusing.

Fortunately it worked out OK and was well worth the effort.

1128 Praveen and Harmeets wedding at Slough Sikh Temple

Congratulations to Praveen and Harmeet who got married at Slough Sikh Temple which was followed by a reception and Bahai ceremony at Harmeet’s home in the evening. This was preceded by a Henna Mehndi ceremony 2 days before at Praveen’s home. All very colourful with lots happening, enough to keep me busy. Anyhow a fantastic experience with lots of fun, laughter and tears. Some of my favourites can be seen below and course the complete set from the 3 days can be seen by clicking on ‘Links’ above then ‘client area’. The password you should all know.

Many thanks Praveen and Harmeet for such a wonderful experience and for making me so welcome.
