and her wedding day....

I love learning about photography and although I am far from an expert I am enjoying honing my skills in an amazing corner of His creation. The people, the colors, and culture here are a privilege to capture. I am lovin' being invited to take pictures at friend's wedding because in addition to blessing them with photos of their day I get to snap some amazing cultures shots. Here are my favorites of the wedding last week.....

amazing colors...everyone waiting for the groom to arrive

you can barely see Anni's dress in the middle of the crowd

chanting and "dancing"

it gets pretty intense y'all!

the men folk through ever present laundry and a really funky coconut tree

all that dancing in the heat was tiring for some

the men praying

the groom & best men through the incense smoke

on the way to make it official

prayers of blessing

my student and her niece in their finest

and one self take of the sweaty (hey, we did a lot of dancing!) photographer and one of my English students before we all headed home. Happy Harusi!
