As a wedding photographer, we understand the importance of being familiar with the names of the different Persian Ceremonies. This allows us to document your wedding like we have been a part of the culture for years. We find the rich culture and traditions so beautiful and elegant.
In this section we go over the most common traditions, we hope this also becomes a useful guide to the couple when planning their Persian ceremony.
Cambodian Wedding Traditions & Ceremonies
Southern California has one of the largest Cambodian populations outside of Phnom Penh. We have been very fortunate to be a a part of many Cambodian wedding celebrations. By far some of the longest wedding ceremonies we have photographed. A more modern ceremony might only last 5 hours. This deep rooted culture is full of vibrant colors decorated with gold.
Jewish Wedding Traditions & Ceremony
Jewish weddings are a blend of religious ceremonies and culture celebrations. An ashkenazi ceremony might have a different way of celebrating then a Sephardic wedding. Whether its a blend of the two or interfaith celebration we get to know the couple and customize our photography to the specific needs of the wedding couple.
Reconstructionist, Reformed, Conservative, Orthodox, Modern Orthodox, Chabbad Judaism. So many different ways to incorporate your family traditions we love to document your legacy.
Catholic Wedding Traditions & Ceremonies
Often, Catholic weddings are held inside the church either the bride, groom or their parents belong to. With the large number of Catholic churches in Orange County and Los Angeles, we end up documenting Catholic weddings quite often. Brides and Grooms always ask me if I'm familiar with the rules for photography in the church. This is because most Catholic Churches tend to have some of the strictest rules in regards to photography during the ceremony. We always familiarize ourselves with the Churches photographer rules and abide by them.
