Renuka and Yogesh live in Sacramento, but were married in a three-day celebration here in Southern California. I was so excited to shoot their wedding as this was my first Fijian Indian wedding. I always love learning about new traditions and seeing different things in ceremonies, such as the application of the bride’s sindoor while fully covered, which I had never seen before. I was also impressed that Yogesh’s family chosen to caravan from Sacramento to Orange County on the wedding day. Though he initially was going to be part of the Sacramento-to-LA caravan, Yogesh wisely chose to fly instead, thus ensuring that my head didn’t explode from the stress of wondering whether he’d make it on time. With second shooting by the talented Yoshi Morimoto.
