Traveling the ‘old fashion way’ in Kenya
After covering an ‘intense’ 4-days indian wedding on the coast of Kenya, Renaud (the filmmaker) and I decided to make our way back to Nairobi from Mombasa by the overnight train.

Preview — Wedding Photography in Kenya
Just wanted to share this straight out of the camera photo-trailer of a recent wedding I covered in Nairobi. As a wedding photographer in Kenya, I get to experience many different cultures such as Sikh and Hindu weddings and all kind of Christian weddings.
This shot was taken just after the ceremony when the priest was greeting the bride. Just love the look in his eyes and the super inviting smile.
