I have been shooting weddings for over a decade. I have captured over 300 weddings with people from all walks of life.  I’ve have told a lot of wedding stories and also enjoyed so many colleague’s wedding stories throughout the years.  I can say without a doubt, that Anna and Chetan’s four day wedding celebration in Baltimore, Maryland, was the most wild and amazing event I have ever seen.  We shot for 25 hours in 95 degree heat.  We witnessed contortionists, aerial performances, wonderful tears and genuine smiles, pyrotechnics, unconditional love and so much happiness and acceptance.  It was a weekend that fused together an Indian wedding, a Burning Man Festival, a pool party, camping and so much more.  Words cannot really describe the insanity and the powerful emotions that dominated the four days we spent together.  I hope the photos do it justice.  Please enjoy Anna & Chetan’s amazing wedding, Part 1.  Stay tuned for Saturday and Sunday!
