Catholic Sikh Wedding Photographer Calgary
“If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I’d find a match
‘Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am” – Ingrid Michaelson
A joining of families, of cultures, and of hearts. A traditional Catholic ceremony on Saturday, and a Sikh reception on Sunday.
One of my favourite moments of the weekend came during our formal photos. In a tender, private moment, Queenie & Sonny read one another love letters. It was just the two of them (plus me, creeping on them with a zoom lens), and they simply poured out their hearts to one another in beautiful vulnerability.
This was my first experience photographing an Indian reception, and it was so fun! Queenie & Sonny performed for their guests; Sonny on guitar and Queenie singing “The Way I Am”. Queenie also sang “Can’t Take My Eyes off of You” accompanied by a Saxophone as a surprise for Sonny. The food was incredible, the party was energetic, and the love was tangible. The couple changed into traditional Sikh outfits at the end of the night and we snuck outside for a couple of portraits.
Queenie & Sonny are a perfect match. They are exuberant and joyful, jumping into all life has to offer. Our days together were filled with laughter and silliness, as well as raw, authentic emotion. I am so thankful to have been a part of such an amazing celebration and I wish you both a lifetime of love and laughter!
Much love, Carlin
