Couple’s Portraits

Groom’s Baraat

The bride isn’t the only one who gets to make a grand entrance during an Indian wedding ceremony. The groom enters the ceremony during a procession called the baraat, where he is escorted by friends and family to celebrate the beginning of the wedding ceremony.

Traditionally, the groom rides into his wedding ceremony on a white horse or elephant, but many grooms, like ours pictured below, choose a more modern approach. A classic car is a very popular choice for contemporary grooms looking to make a flashy entrance.
