Kiran & Gianni – Syon Park

Syon Park – Italian & Indian Wedding

Kiran & Gianni chose to have their wedding ceremony in the Great Hall, post-ceremony drinks in the private Inner Courtyard and have their dinner and reception in the Great Conservatory with the palms and exotic flowers.   We were also able to take couple photographs in Syon House itself.

The wedding brought together an Italian family and an Indian family and we photographed their traditional Indian Ceremony with rituals over the days preceding the civil ceremony.   The whole few days were hugely emotional and happy – an absolute pleasure to be asked to document.  And the wedding was a happy reunion for us because the groom was the brother of one of our Stowe House brides.
