Genevieve Nisly Photography Blog - Cleveland Ohio Wedding Photographers

Last week I got a call from the Toronto based film and photo company called StillMotion asking to help them cover a very large Indian wedding taking place in Columbus.  This sounded like a very interesting opportunity and since I rarely get to second shoot at weddings, I accepted.  I had a great time working with their team and it was very interesting to see their ways of working with the subjects and how it differs from our ways.

The day started at 9:30 in the morning with the Bharat where the groom rides on a white horse while his family dances around him.

After the ceremony, both Darshan and Raina headed back to the Renaissance Hotel to change outfits, hair and makeup for the reception.  I love this shot of Patrick from StillMotion getting a tight shot of Raina getting her makeup done.

The guys from StillMotion did some location scouting the day before and they found this crazy wall that had been painted a bright yellowish green.  If that wasn’t enough, the cards parked in front of the wall were painted the same color as if the paint had ran right off the wall onto the cars.  Amina from StillMotion appropriately dubbed this wall “the crazy.”  As it turn out, the crazy was a perfect compliment to Raina’s saree.

You can check out StillMotion’s trailer for the wedding with the link below.  It’s pretty amazing.
