Angela + Ravi | Toronto | Same Day Edit

We just experienced our first 3-day wedding extravaganza and loved sharing in all of Angela and Ravi’s festivities. On Wednesday evening we captured the Sangeet, a pre-party for family and friends to gather, to share food and enjoy music and dancing. The guests were all excited and talking in anticipation of the 2 days of wedding celebrations that would take place just a couple of days later. We were greeted by the warmth of their families and visually overwhelmed by all the brilliant colours and traditional Hindu tabla drumming and dancing. On Friday the Barat started about 5:30 pm. Ravi rode a beautifully decorated white horse and was led by a large group of his family and friends from one side of the parking lot to the other. There was drumming and dancing and singing as they made their way over to where Angela’s family and friends were waiting to meet them. The traditional union of both families was incredible. Once inside the Vishnu Mandir temple the actual Hindu ceremonies took place on a decorated stage. So many symbolic moments took place and the details were breathtaking. When Ravi said his 7 vows to Angela she asked for the last vow to be repeated (that Ravi would never look at another woman the way he looked at her) all the guests laughed. On Saturday morning we met up with the girls at 7 am at the salon. After receiving an email from Ange at 2:30 am I wondered how exhausted she must be, but she was just as excited as she was the day before and said that the adrenalin was really working as she began preparing for her day of Catholic traditions. They were married at St. Francis of Assisi and celebrated during their reception at Bellagio. Their grand entrance was nothing short of electric as they danced, jumped and had every single one of their 300+ guests out of their seats and on the dance floor. The party was just getting started. The evening was filled with emotional tributes to both Ange and Ravi’s fathers who have passed away but, who were definitely with them in spirit. I could never choose a favourite moment (or image) from these 3 days, so for now we’ll just share their Same Day Edit - when we showed it at the reception there were many tears of joy as it really did showcase the amazing 3-day journey and the joining of two cultures, that their wedding celebration was. We are so proud to be the keeper of wonderful memories and wish Ange and Ravi a lifetime of love and happiness!
