It was an absolute delight to meet Shoeb and Nadia and learn more about their culture. I will never forget how warm and welcoming their family and friends were to me. And thank you to the women who dressed me in the shari each ceremony. And thank you to all of you that taught me so much about your culture and religion (and also showed me how to eat with my hands). It was a joy  and honour to join you. Thank you Shoeb and Nadia for choosing me as your wedding photographer. It was an experience I will never forget.
I hope that I may get the opportunity to photograph another Bangali wedding or wedding of another culture. I am really passionate about embracing all peoples and cultures.
