Kunal and Neha
I went to India for a few weeks over the holidays to attend Kunal Nayyar's (of The Big Bang Theory) wedding to Neha Kapur (Miss India, 2008). I wasn't the official wedding photographer, but I still brought all my gear and got one or two nice shots :)
This was taken during the actual wedding ceremony. So much of wedding was about "presenting" the pride and groom, putting them on a lavish display before a thousand witnesses. First the groom is presented on a white stallion while the whole neighborhood gathers and dances in the streets. Then he rides the white stallion into the wedding. Then the bride is presented under a long, mobile canopy of flowers. They're both decked out in a pirate's booty worth of jewelry, and after being presented together they can finally make their way to the priest so that the actual ceremony can begin, and this can last for many hours.
I'm convinced there is no word for "subtle" in Hindi.
So I like this one because after all the fanfare and hullaballoo, Kunal and Neha finally get a moment when nothing is planned, no special rituals are taking place, and no one is really paying attention to them. They just get to be alone to briefly share a whisper and a smile.
