Justin & Harpreet | A Traditional Tea Ceremony at Bishops Bay


When Harpreet inquired about her engagement session she also made mention that the following day her & Justin would be partaking in a Tea Ceremony with their families by their sides. Growing up in the Western Culture I was unbelievably excited to witness these two officially get engaged (& for Harpreet to get her engagement ring). 

I arrived at Bishops Bay that morning with the sun shining and a tad bit of nerves (okay, a lot of nerves) running thru me. I was greeted with smiles, warm welcomes, and honestly felt right at home amongst their families. 

As Justin waited on the stage for Harpreet to come down, you could tell he was nervous. Fidgeting & trying to get comfortable. It was such an endearing moment before the ceremony started. With a big bouquet of roses he waited for her & as she came down the aisle with her brother there was a big smile splashed across her face. As she reached Justin, he handed her flowers & promptly went down onto one knee. Harpreet was beaming with excitement (you’ll see here in a bit) & they then slipped rings onto each others fingers. 

Typing this out, you guys, I’m just not doing it justice. SO.. I’m going to let the images do the talking. They’re full of color, vibrance, and I almost felt bad about turning some to B&W. Enjoy!
