Picture this: a Maiyan turmeric ceremony on the beach in Mexico, right in front of the JUST newly opened Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos… Yes, that’s exactly where we celebrated!
Never seen a Maiyan turmeric ceremony? They top my list of all-time favourite wedding events to photograph. Excitement, emotion, activity, significance and COLOUR fill every moment! I live for these vivid bold colours, especially how they power storytelling in photography. Each Maiyan ceremony feels like Christmas morning to me.
During the Maiyan (or Haldi/turmeric) ceremony, family members paint the bride & groom from head to toe with a special turmeric paste. Turmeric brings healing properties, beautifies the skin AND carries deep significance in these ceremonies. The tradition holds that blessing the bride & groom with turmeric before their new chapter brings good luck & prosperity, which is why it happens a day or so before the wedding! Emotional yet playful energy flowed through the entire group during the ceremony.
Jasleen & Jug packed their destination wedding week (back in Sep 2019 – if only we knew THEN what travel would look like just a few months later… wow!) with festivities – I’ve never felt so tired yet energized simultaneously. Their multi-day celebration deserves a multi-post series! So many favourite moments fill our time with them, and I can’t wait to share them all. My heart overflows with gratitude to both my dear work partner/photog Hannah Cummins and to Jug & Jas for bringing us down as a team for this under Hannah. It was an absolute privilege – we love you guys!!
