Ayesha & Ankit | A Sangeet & NOLA Wedding | 10.08.16

James Shaw November 1, 2016

I tried to keep this post as short as possible, but it was hard.  This was perhaps the most photogenic wedding I've ever shot...just color and life everywhere.   I don't know how these two did it.  I felt like I shot two weddings in a row.  The Sangeet is basically just a huge party the night before the wedding, where all the guests sing and dance well into the night.  It was awesome.

This was my first Indian wedding, and it did not disappoint.  Congrats to Ayesha and Ankit, thanks for letting me be a part of your day! 

(Also, it should be known that the National WWII Museum is an amazing place to have a reception!)

In celebration of the crazy ass year that has been 2020, for the first time ever I'm offering up prints from a post apocalyptic New Orleans, all taken in the past couple of months.

Man, I LOVE this city.  I love the culture of this place.  It's the most unique city in all of America, and it's not even close.  It's been a melting pot for centuries.  It's real.  It's authentic.  There's nothing pretentious or fake about it.  We h
I pray for all the black children of this country and all of the families that have lost loved ones unjustly.  My heart truly breaks for them.  I've had numerous interactions with police and less than desirable people over the years, and never once h

Finally getting around to publishing some very old blog posts. These are some very somber photos of what remains in Paradise.  It was the deadliest wildfire in California history.  PG&E just pleaded guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter
