Wearing a bridal veil is a cherished tradition in many cultures, adding elegance and beauty to a bride’s look. This stunning Ethiopian bride posed gracefully with her veil draped over her face, creating a moment filled with softness and emotion. I captured this portrait near Stone Mountain, GA, beside a quiet pond where the gentle sunlight filtered through the veil and warmed her face, giving the image a dreamy, romantic feel.
Over the years, I’ve learned how deeply culture and religion shape the meaning of a wedding day. Ethiopian weddings, especially those rooted in Orthodox Christian traditions, are rich with their own customs, couture, and symbolism. Photographing these moments is more than taking a picture—it’s an art that honors the heritage, dignity, and beauty that each couple brings to their celebration.
