I have been anticipating this wedding for years now! Shannon and Seema are special to me and I am honored that they chose me to be their wedding photographer. I flew into Los Angeles a few hours before the wedding festivities began. I was greeted by a house full of friends, family and a lot of laughter. It was going to be an exciting day. Beautiful Indian culture, stunning brides & style for miles! Couldn't ask for more. I have photographed Indian weddings before and I have photographed gay and lesbian weddings before, but never have I ever shot an Indian lesbian wedding. WOW. My heart! There was so much love that consumed the SmogShoppe that evening. Friends and family came pouring in with smiles, hugs and tears… these two are clearly loved and in love. I am writing this blog a month after the wedding and I am proud to say that so much progress has been made in our country with the Supreme Court striking down DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) and Prop 8 in California! Love wins. ALWAYS. Congrats Shannon & Seema. Love you guys! UPDATE: For every LGBT wedding I book in 2014 I have decided to donate a portion to the Trevor Project. READ MORE HERE! PROMOTE LOVE and get involved in something bigger than yourself.

chitraJuly 18, 2013
Only one suggestion: i think it should be titled Beautiful Love Marriage, not Indian Lesbian wedding. I say this only because it should be the love that draws comment. What your orientation is that led you to this beautiful moment should be irrelevant. Also it reads as an oddity and shouldn't be so. Thanks for sharing your special moments. Incredibly moving to see so much honest love.
mansi majithiaJuly 18, 2013
one of the most beautiful weddings i have ever seen 🙂 you have to really love and understand their relationship.. to capture it this well.. great job 🙂

I think this would your 1000th comment, but still I would say that I am bowled over by the entire thing. Not leaving any specific comment for your photography as that indeed beautiful and I would been more than honoured if I was appointed in your place as the wedding-photojournalist. This is again a wonderful thing I have seen.

Stunning photography of an …. interesting concept.
AshelyJuly 18, 2013
This brought tears to my eyes. This is so beautiful. I am an Indian lesbian and have always dreamed of having the same kind of wedding. Everything that happened in this wedding has been exactly what I have dreamed to happen in my wedding. Especially, the part where I marry a woman out of my culture. After seeing this I can say that my dream one day will surely come true. Thank you Seema and Shannon for keeping mine and probably millions of other girls dreams alive, especially, those who wish to marry a woman out of their culture. I wish both of you all the happiness and luck in this new journey of yours. 🙂

I wish you both All God's Blessings and a long and healthy & happy life together!!!
tarannum araJuly 18, 2013
It is amazing to see this. I hope the world slowly broadens its vision and accept such weddings with arms wide open. Hats off to the Indian parents of Seema. In india parents still freak out at the idea of mere inter-religion marriage while Seema's parents accepter her sexuality and allowed her to choose a soulmate. This is amazing and beautiful. God bless the couple!

Despite being Indian and to lot of indian weddings, i am yet to witness such a splendid indian wedding. Both of you looked stunning. Your wedding incorporated gazillion tiny details of a typical indian wedding which is soo heart warming.

i just happened to come upon these pictures and i am in tears. i do not know you two but this was such a mesmerizing and breathtakingly beautiful wedding. I am a young Indian girl and know how strict Indian parents can be and like someone mentioned in a previous comment, i am so glad to see that the Indian parents are so open and accepting of these beautiful couple. Congrats to both of you beautiful ladies I wish I was a friend of yours because it would have been an honor to be a part of this wedding. Hats off to the photographer–these photos were PERFECT. i will 100% keep your contact information because you are definitely photographing my wedding!!

Congratulations to the lovely brides! All best wishes for laughs and adventures throughout life. I am an American Desi whose daughter came out as Bi when she was in high school. No matter the gender of who she marries, I hope to throw my daughter just as lovely a wedding as this.
HTJuly 19, 2013
Both very beautiful!
ManieJuly 19, 2013
This is beautiful. I've wanted a big, traditional Indian wedding since I was a little girl, and once I realized my sexuality, letting that wedding dream go was one of the saddest things. Your wedding is proof that it doesn't have to be that way. What an amazing hybrid of cultures, traditions and style to celebrate your special day! I'm so impressed; both at how you incorporated an american and indian wedding into one, and that you had the balls to do it! I hope you two have a long, happy life together! xoxo
JupiterJuly 19, 2013
I am so happy for both of you! These pictures are so beautiful, and you look both stunning and radiant. Best of luck on your endeavour through life together <3
Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many others, you have no idea the impact this makes.
callingonangelsJuly 19, 2013
This is beautiful beyond words. I am crying because it feels like i just saw a slideshow of my most heart wrenching dream come true! Shannon & Seema… Congrats to you both from the bottom of my soul! I am a complete stranger that is in awe of the love you have for one another and the commitment you've decided to make to each other. You are both beautiful, brave and blessed. I wish you both a lifetime of joy! I feel so goddamn fortunate and grateful to have stumbled upon this page today. Steph, you are an amazing photographer! You can feeel the love emanating from each shot.
Is there any way to get in touch with the brides? I'm an Indian lesbian living in a country where homosexuality is criminalized. I came out recently to my parents only to be told that I "must" get married to a boy… so i almost gave up on my own happiness. After seeing this, I realize just how much it's worth. I'm working on a novel actually and I'm collecting stories of Indian lesbians like myself because i think it has the power to dramatically impact the live of an Indian girl somewhere in the world that is too afraid to follow her heart. I would love to hear Shannon and Seema's story.
you can email me at: [email protected]
Again, thank you for this. Thank you!

True love– … it shows … its there in all the pics … from the mang tikka to the mehendi on the toes , the only thing i could see is pure love for each other.. i could see the oath "till death do us apart" gleaming on Seema – Shanon's face … I have tears in my eyes .. but those are from joy … seems like something is stuck in my throat and I feel breathless out of happiness … wish you guys all the very best for the the future near and far … Loved the Love in between you two and everyone around 🙂

I don't think I've ever posted a comment ever on any site before this. I feel rather stupid even posting this since I don't know these people from adam. But, as an Indian woman this made my heart so so happy. I loved how they carried out all the little traditions. I loved that they fed each other a cupcake (for shannon) and a laddoo (for seema). They thought of it all…Kudos and God bless you both. And, yeah to to all supportive family members on both sides who truly reveled in the celebration.

RehannaJuly 21, 2013
This made me cry, I'm a lesbian too and i grew up in a hindu family so this is the norm and i always dreamed of a hindu wedding for my partner and I but pundits in New York would never do this for homosexual couples. so seeing this possible is a blessing for me and hope that one day i can share this ceremony of intimacy and trust with my loved one. although i would not wear a sari but a doti instead. saris are not my thing. but this is amazing and congrats for the marriage.
SumanJuly 21, 2013

I don't remember anything in Hinduism that says anything against lesbianism…and the brides are kind of cute too.

Beautiful wedding. My father is from India and so I appreciate the beauty and tradition of Indian weddings. Congratulations to the couple.. Great photography.

What an amazing love dripping with color, understanding and beauty! I wish them ALL THE BEST!
A Happy Indian GirlJuly 22, 2013
@Rishabh: Hinduism does not say anything against homosexuality, and any homophobia that exists in Indian society is cultural and relatively new (slowly inculcated over 200 years). A lot of Hindu royals practiced it openly in the past, and Hinduism has a lot of LGBT themes in its mythology.
Seeing these pictures makes me so happy! Steph Grant you are a very talented photographer and you have captured the love and happiness better than anything I've ever seen! I may get your for my wedding! (Let me find a man first.) The brides are incredibly stunning, and Seema especially seems to have such incredibly vibrant energy – what a doll!
Were the guests crying? It looked like that in a couple pictures.
Congratulations to the new couple and may they have a long, prosperous, healthy and happy life together. This wedding gives me hope for our society.

tuesdeJuly 22, 2013
These photos have me bawling tears of hope and joy. My girlfriend Tiffany and I have been together 7yrs and always dreamt of a wedding like this – one incorporating tradition, accomodating two beautiful brides, surrounded by friends and family. I have never been able to envision something this perfect, however. We had even spoken about eloping, but this gives me renewed hope that weddings ARE for everyone – straight or gay – and they can be traditional!
MaryJuly 22, 2013
These are so stunning!! The photos, the brides!! Everything is so perfect. Congratulations to the happy couple!! <3

My daughter owner of PoshPenny.com is a photographer and is getting ready for a September wedding. She would be amazed at how beautiful these photographs are. The only thing I did not see, or maybe I missed it was the traditional kiss. Perhaps that is not part of their custom.
Either way great job.
Ms LindaJuly 23, 2013
The photos are awesome. You were able to capture, the real time moments of love and joy, with the deepness of caring color and emotion. Wishing them the luck of karma for the future.

Happy forever to you both. I have never seen such colorful wedding photos!! The photographer did a wonderful job of capturing the color, the movement, the excitement of the day. I think it would be a good thing to offer India- inspired wedding clothes to boutiques here in the states as an alternative choice in wedding attire. And the jewelry was so stunning!! Also loved the inked designs on the hands and feet. You simply wowed me with your beautiful choices.
Sarah KingJuly 23, 2013

And I know it's difficult to place in, but if possible can you please ad Pinterest buttons? I am shooting a wedding in a few months and I would like to pin your images for ideas. Again, just amazing work, on my second run though, I discovered what this album has from beginning to end. Emotion. I gasped, I squealed, I had tears come to my eyes, I was happy when it was finished. I, a perfect stranger, was entranced by your work. It was such a joy to see. Thank you!

I don't know these women but saw a link via Facebook and felt compelled to leave a comment.
I don't think I have never seen such a beautiful wedding ceremony! You can see the love in every photo you captured, what a gorgeous couple Shannon and Seema are! And what a stunning mixture of cultures.
I wish them both a lifetime of happiness together.
I hope that our government comes to their senses here in Australia soon and legalises gay marriage. It has been far too long coming!
Thank you for sharing these gorgeous photos, it made my heart happy today just seeing them 🙂

RakeshJuly 23, 2013
These Indian weddings are really something to savor for a lifetime. An Indian marriage ceremony is elaborate, full of rituals and customary celebrations that it is a sight to behold. Actually it looks like the couples are representing Gods and Goddesses in all their glory and a religious function is underway.
Really the richness of Indian culture is what enamored west so passionately. Sadly, the spirituality and grandeur of such a rich legacy seems to be lost in the tragic stories emanating from that country.
NinoJuly 23, 2013
It is an honor to witness such beauty and grace
as two souls permanently unite in an embrace.
Both leed and neither follows, for true equality manifested on your day.

You guys are total strangers for me as of now. But looking at the beautiful imagery by Steph Grant, I think this is one of the purest things that can happen. A cross cultural lesbian wedding. And looking at the images, I assume it was with consent from both the families. The world is definitely turning into a beautiful place.
Congratulations to the both of you. May you have a wonderful life ahead.

Seriously, who's the pundit (priest) who did this wedding??? I dont know any indian priest who would do this. And I'm a gay indian girl…never thought this would be possible. Im half amazed and half shocked. And a litle weirded out. But non the less, awesome!!!!!!!!!

CCLAugust 16, 2013
This gives me so much hope. I don't know you two, Shannon and Seema, but having the privilege of looking through your wedding pictures gives me a little sense that I do know you. How crazy is that!
Congratulations, and best wishes for a happy and healthy marriage. I am inspired…I'm currently going through a rough time with my life and questioning the sanctity of relationships. But…if you two can find peace with each other and love one another, then why can't I?
This was some of the most enthralling and engaging wedding photography I have seen. Nice work, Steph Grant!
You all give me hope for love, in a world and culture that so desperately needs it…
Best wishes,

This is really great to see a indian taking such a big step in her life. To come out in the open world and marry the person you love dearly is something which happens to very few people in the world. I wish all the best wishes to the happy couple .
To Seema,
being an indian i am really proud of you. May god forbid the parting of the love birds.
to shannon,
congratulations on being the daughter in law of an indian family. Wish you all the very best and a happy married life.
Greetings from Mumbai , India.
