Agya and Salil, Married! Part 2 of 4 | Boston wedding photographer

The wedding day for Agya and Salil could not have been more gorgeous. Sunny, blue skies, not too hot temperatures, we were all very excited to get things started at the Boston Long Wharf Marriott. If you missed part 1 – the sangeet, click here!

Binita Patel came along as my second shooter. We found Salil standing by himself in his hotel room, so Binita kindly helped him with tying something on his sherwani

Where was Salil you ask? Well, there was a ceremony where he would get the pagdi placed on his head. They went all out and rented a boat to cruise around the Boston Harbor! All the people you see entering the boat are guests on the groom’s side
