Can you say “H U G E”?! Over 400 family members, friends and guests attended Ruth and Ajay’s ceremony & celebration. Traveling from all over the US, representing; TX, CA, OR, NY, NJ, PA, MI, VA and MD… and from as far as India, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata… 20 hours to get here and celebrate the union of the Ponnuswamy and Prasad families.
When Ruth met with us to go over wedding details last March, who would have imagined that we were going to be in the ‘rainy season’ here in Virginia? Rainy weather is suppose to mean ‘good luck’ for the newly wed couple. Well, Ruth and Ajay, I would say you are blessed beyond measure.
It was such an honor to photograph this wedding and at the same time learn about the very beautiful customs associated with the Indian culture. Songs and readings were offered by close family members and friends during the ceremony, many of the women dressed in the most lovely and colorful Indian Sarees, and an abundance of love ran not only through this couple but also through all of their guests. Even the smallest of guests, the many children who were present, wore love and laughter on their faces.
