Jewish Bengali Wedding | Yashreeka + Elika

multi-cultural wedding brooklyn

Updated: May 27, 2025

Here are some of my favorite frames from part one of Yashreeka and Elika’s vibrant, joy-filled celebration at one of my favorite Brooklyn venues, The Green Building. This wedding was a gorgeous fusion of cultures—Jewish, Bengali, queer, and deeply personal—and I feel so honored to have been part of it.

Planned beautifully by Phoebe of B’Burg Events, this celebration was full of meaningful rituals, bold colors, incredible music from DJ Tikka Masala, and an energy that filled the room from the moment the dancing started. A big shoutout to my amazing second shooter, Katia Repina, who helped capture the love from every angle.

Stay tuned for part two, and get ready for more dancing, more color, and even more love.
