Devin & Nisha
Indian wedding engagement party
Oasis Conference Center

Devin & Nisha had their formal Indian engagement ceremony and party at the Oaisis Golf Club and Conference Center.  In Indian tradition, this is the first ceremony to take place between the bride and groom, marking the beginning of their wedding concord. The two families welcome each other and strengthen their bond. During the engagement ceremony and ring ceremony, the engagement is made formal and the couple exchanges rings. Then family members present gifts to the bride and groom. The ceremony is concluded with the blessings of the elders.

Of course all of this is followed by a big celebration with food, drink, and dancing.

Days prior to the engagement party we did their formal engagement portraits at Washington Park in Cincinnati. The day of the engagement party was incredibly windy and limited us to outdoor areas that were sheltered from the wind. It all worked out and we were able to get some beautiful photographs of Devin, Nisha and their families.
