Just a few days before Christmas we headed to St Albans to Photograph and film Amy’s Mehndi Ceremony.  We set off from Leicestershire in the rain but as we headed south the snow got thicker and thicker.  St Albans was a complete winter wonderland, really pretty.

The Mehndi ceremony is part of the Bridal preparations and usually takes place just before the wedding.  As we arrived preparations were under way, the stage was decorated with amazing fruit displays, candles and flowers and then Amy arrived, she looked amazing.  All her family and friends took part in the ceremony exchanging fruit and sweets with each other.  Then the Grooms family arrived bringing with them gifts of food.  The Mehndi was applied to Amy’s hands and the evening ended with a lovely meal.  The details and the colours were stunning, I couldn’t decide which photo’s to post so I put lots of little shots into a montage which gives an overall impression of the evening.

Watch this space as I also photographed Olid’s Mehndi a few days later, photo’s coming soon.
