My parents had two weddings in 1991; a traditional Indian wedding in my grandparents backyard, and a traditional Christian wedding at a chapel. They hired the same company to document both events. This video places each documentation side-by-side, highlighting the differences between each cultures display of marriage, as well as the way in which the videographers chose to document the weddings.

It’s a lovely piece Ryan, meditating on two cultural traditions practiced by the same people. And our wedding documentation strategies, and the values and formulas they employ. Great -especially for projection in the gallery – as a durational piece that people will go into at any time.
