The Mehndi is one of the most joyful parts of an Indian wedding: intricate henna, warm laughter, women singing around the bride and colour everywhere you look.

For Gaia’s ceremony I focused on the small details: the henna deepening, hands being held, and the way family and friends gathered around her before the main wedding day.
