Celebrating Culture and Achievement: A Graduation ceremony at the Colonial Inn in Hillsborough, NC

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing the Indian graduation celebration of three young people at the Colonial Inn in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Despite the hot weather, the evening was beautiful, filled with warmth and joy that extended beyond the temperature.

The Colonial Inn provided a picturesque backdrop for this special occasion, its historic charm adding a unique touch to the celebration. Everyone I met was incredibly kind and accommodating, creating an inviting atmosphere that made my job a true delight.

Though I was only there for a little over an hour, I captured many memorable moments. The vibrant colors of traditional Indian attire, the heartfelt interactions, and the genuine smiles all contributed to a rich tapestry of images. The kindness and hospitality of everyone left an indelible mark on me, making this brief shoot one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had.
