I really cannot put into words how much of a gift it was to me that Nabila and Aly trusted James a I with the documentation of their three day Indian wedding this October. At our initial meeting together I was up front that we had never photographed a full-blown Indian wedding before and wouldn’t be bringing any experience (in that sense) to the table, but that I was really excited at the prospect of taking on something entirely new. Then Nabila and Aly  said the magic words — they trusted us.

While my stomach was tied in knots of anticipation in the days leading up to these wedding festivities, I knew there would be something so refreshing, so invigorating in not playing the role of wedding coordinator  because I would literally not know what to expect to come next or even what it would look like. And it was.
