Mungni: Indian Engagement Photography: Jamila & Jibran

Ornate henna, colorful saris, and two beautiful families joining together to exchange gifts, food and good wishes– what a delight it was for Kris and I to be a part of Jamila & Jibran’s engagement ceremony!  This is actually my first color-only blog post and I think you will soon see why…

Jamila was lead in by her sisters and friends with a procession of candles and flower petals:

Their grandmothers are exchanging sweets as part of the ceremony:

Each family member circled this basket for flowers around the couple and presented them with gifts.

Jamila’s mother is giving Jibran’s brother a sweet and wishing him and his wife well.

The saris are beautiful– I could not get over the variety of colors, patterns and decoration, simply stunning, ladies!

Jibran loves the TV show “The Office”, so Jamila’s family created an Office-themed gift basket including this high-five worthy T-shirt:

“Yeah, whatever. No big deal. The hottest girl in the world loves me.” I think Jibran agrees with Michael on that one.

Jamila’s friends are located throughout the country but they met together and created a special dance for her and Jibran.

Taha’s speech was funny!  You can almost almost read it for yourself through the paper ;).

  1. Jibran is my cousin and I was sad I was unable to be at this event, thank you so much for capturing it so wonderfully!
