I am so excited to blog about the amazing wedding festivities of Shehreen and Victor!
We are overloaded with joy that we have had the opportunity to film not one, but two culture-filled weddings back to back! This was our FIRST ever Bengali wedding. I have always seen photos and heard of how amazing they were. Now finally, I was able to experience it firsthand.
Of course, I have to give you guys the backstory! We saw a post on Facebook from a DJ searching for a videographer for a couple he was working with. I swiftly reached out and sent him a message. Within minutes I was able to connect with the lovely Father of the bride whose name is Saleh. Their names are so unique! After hopping on a phone call, I was very confident that he was sold and we'd be filming his daughter's wedding a week later.
Long story short, they booked the next day. And they also asked us to film an additional event for them the night before the wedding called the Holud - YES PLEASE!
The Holud is a ceremonial event that is observed mostly in the region of Bengal. This event took place at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel in Kennesaw, GA. During this night, we were able to capture the henna application with friends and family dressed in the same hand-crafted clothing. They had a Bengal feast, dances, and a performance from their cousins!
THE WEDDING DAY:
Gold is a symbol of prestige. They look so beautifully dressed!
Look at Shehreen's gorgeous bridesmaids. Are you as amazed as me? I probably sound like a broken record. Their attire was simply royal and I really loved the colors they chose together
Their wedding was held on the rooftop of Ventanna's in Atlanta, GA. This was the breathtaking view I was able to capture right before their ceremony. I should add photography to our belt as good as I'm getting when I whip out my camera (love my Canon) This is our second rooftop wedding in Atlanta and I just love looking at the view of the city!
Get ready to be BLOWN away by what I am going to say next. The bride and her father MADE this for the altar and ALLLLLLL of the other decorations for BOTH events. They are skilled architects and Shehreens dad is also a professor who teaches others this line of work! What an amazing custom-made craft! I tip all hats to them for their creativity and abundant talents!
First of all, this cake table was amazing with the city view in the background. I loved the colors and both cakes were decorated uniquely. Don't leave before I tell you that it was tasty too!
