Anna & Brian Wedding Part 1 | Sirius Community Center Rehearsal Dinner & Sangeet
12 Feb
Last Summer my husband Doug and I had the distinct pleasure of photographing our very first sangeet. So, what is a sangeet anyway? Here’s some info from our couple’s wedding website:
“A sangeet is a pre-wedding celebration traditional in the cultures of India and Pakistan. The word ‘sangeet’ really means ‘sung together’, so music is always a major part of the evening. The intention for the sangeet is for the wedding guests and especially the two families to get acquainted with each other in a relaxed setting.”
Besides it being an evening overflowing with love, it also was one filled with much musical talent. Documenting it was bliss.

…having her bindi pressed in place.
BIG LOVE.

The beautiful music of Youssou Sidibe, playing the cora.
The festivities move upstairs.
We knew Anna was the maestro behind Talking Hands Theatre, but that night we discovered she’s also a multi-talented musician.
Brian’s band got pretty much everyone dancing! Sample their music.
