Colorful Detroit Haldi Ceremony

Amidst the serenity of their backyard, Vansatha and Luke embarked on a joyous journey with their cherished loved ones in South Lyon, Michigan. The air was filled with anticipation and excitement as they gathered for the auspicious pre-wedding ritual – the haldi ceremony.

With roots tracing back to India, the haldi ceremony holds profound significance in uniting two souls in matrimony. As Vansatha’s mother journeyed from afar to partake in this cherished tradition, the bond of family and heritage was beautifully celebrated.

Amidst the laughter and warmth, turmeric paste adorned the faces and bodies of the soon-to-be-wedded couple, symbolizing blessings for a prosperous union. And amidst the fragrance of rose water, Vansatha’s radiance glowed, embodying the timeless grace of tradition blended with modern love.

Family took turns showering Vasantha with flowers, blessings, and well wishes. Their haldi ceremony, a testament to the beauty of tradition intertwined with the uniqueness of their love, illuminated their path forward, promising a lifetime of happiness and togetherness.

In their backyard in South Lyon, Michigan, amidst the laughter, music, and love, Vansatha and Luke’s haldi ceremony radiated with the essence of a timeless celebration, painting a picture of love that transcends borders and cultures.

Isabel & Lindy’s wedding at the Shinola Hotel remains so special to us. Capturing their day was an honor—not just because of the beauty and joy, but because love like theirs deserves to be seen, cherished, and protected.

With ongoing conversations about overturning Obergefell v. Hodges, it’s more important than ever to stand for marriage equality. Every couple deserves the right to marry the person they love, without fear that it could be taken away. Love is love—yesterday, today, and always. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

I love the process of archiving old work. It's tedious, but so revealing.

It's a reminder of my personal growth and vision. As time passes I see old work with a new set of eyes and often find pieces I didn't appreciate enough the first time through.
A wedding so good, it could’ve shut down the dance floor. 💃✨
