Good stuff!

Fall foliage against the colorful clothing is awesome!

I'm waiting for you to top that e-session photo you posted a while back with the couple kissing while the dude looks on. One of my favorite shots ever. Wish I could find it to look at it again

I'm getting some bad cognitive dissonance here.

1. Traditional Indian wedding = traditional photography.
2. Sergio = Non-traditional photography; PJ

1. Traditional Indian wedding = lots 'n lots of color.
2. Sergio = desaturated processing, b&w

I like the photography a lot, as per usual. If anything, the non-traditional nature of an Indian wedding (compared to a typical western wedding) seems to have amped up your creativity to a certain degree. I just can not shake the feeling that what we're seeing is pretty far out of the norm.

I have to assume that your clients knew that going in, so congrats dude. You rock'd it.

Sergio, there's a really nice depth and air to your images. I would think this is partly a result of lots of just natural light shot at nice big apertures, and the great dynamic range of a good sensor and raw processing. I've really pulled away from shooting that way, and this set shows why I really miss it.

*goes off to think about that a bit*

I *love* the "alternative" take on the Indian wedding.

I was only recently lamenting the low standards to which we hold a non-Indian photographer's take on an Indian wedding. It's supposed to be full of great colors and shapes. And it is, it really is. It's like having a porsche instead of a minivan. Or Gisele for a model instead of Rachel Ray. It should be really f$%ing easy to get nice shots. And we get all giddy when we get (or see) some reasonbly-nice images from an Indian wedding. Woohoo. Where is somebody doing something different with all this great material. Where is somebody actually looking past the pretty colors and seeing everything else?

Serg, it's just the style. The feeling I was/am having isn't a negative one, just a feeling that this is outside the norm of what we see. I think Tony kind of nailed it on the head a bit. Indian wedding all tend to look similar to a certain degree, and the more spectacular, the more a photographer's own personal style seems to sublimate in awe of the explosion of color and personality and brilliance of an Indian wedding.

At no point in time when I was looking at your pictures did I ever once second guess that these were yours.

I'm sure others can make a valid assumption that their own attempt at an Indian wedding was as successful in displaying their own personal style, and I'm not here to argue. Just an observation.
