Roka & engagement

Where the two families meet.

Close-up of hands exchanging a ring over embroidered clothes

A roka or engagement is often small and quick, and families sometimes decide it does not need a photographer. Years later, it is usually the function people wish they had photographed.

Small, and close

In a living room with forty relatives, we work quietly and stay out of the way. The blessings, the sweets being fed, the ring that does not quite fit: we catch them without stopping anything.
