A night before marriage

Awais Yaqub

Went to Cusion's marriage in a village in Punjab Faisalabad (Lyallpur) This is my home town.
These are shots from event called "Mehndi". Mehndi has nothing to do with religion it is culture of this region to celebrate it.

Here is one of my far relative doing some stunts :wink

Here is my cusion bringing Mehndi or thing called Hinna used to decorate hands



He love to fireworks


They are all holding mehndi containers


Here is the groom surrounded in relatives. And cusions dancing on drum beat

I am impressed that the lighting seems just right in what looks like a difficult situation to shoot to me.
