I first met Rachel Ann Soyele in school. I recall one of our first conversations outside a classroom and it was precisely about wedding photography. My very last wedding had not worked out so well. The more I followed her work, the more I realized what an amazing photographer she is and the more I insisted she invite me to one of her events. I half-joked that she should take me as her water boy, that I’d just be there to carry her equipment and bing her water. This past 10th of May she finally granted my wish and gave me the privilege to carry all her most weighed gear and… no she did not!, she had also seen my work and thus gave me the opportunity to second shoot for her event. 

This was my first experience at a South Asian wedding and it was incredible, I felt right at home and completely in my environment. I love photography. Rachel took the most amazing photos of Neilav + Priya she posted in her blog and her work has now been featured twice in the South Asian wedding blog, part 1 and part 2.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet an amazing person who would in turn have introduced me to a magnificent culture, full of color and rich in tradition. 

Here are some of my favorite shoots from the event.
