The artistic angles of Shang Chen Photography has me floored, especially through all the images of this Chicago Fusion wedding. This golden staircase spiraling downward around our couple looks amazing. It makes me want to run all the way down just so I can see more. Lucky for you Maharanis, no staircases here – you can simply scroll down! The traditional South Indian ceremony took place at the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago and a very simple and elegant fashion perfect for a modern fusion bride. Maharani Nina wore a two-toned sari with matching purple and pink bangles. I love all the traditional details but my absolute favorite that is characteristic of South Indian ceremonies is the bridal hair style, which is always long, floral and Rapunzal-like!
Stay tuned for the reception!
