Prashant and Sukriti  dated each other for 7 years before getting engaged.

Prashant is a pilot and Sukriti works with a corporate as an HR.

“When the world is about to come to its end, I’ll have my pilot to fly me away” says Sukriti.

Here are a few words by Sukriti about how it all took place:

Together, in so many years we have seen a lot of ups and down and struggles, we have also celebrated each other’s success, we have cried, fought, loved and laughed together. We found perfection in our little imperfections. Together we complete each other.

On 26th October 2014, On the Bombay Sea Link, along with our closest friends, Prashant told me to get out on the sea link and light a sparkle, while  I was doing it, he went down on his knees and said to me “Complete my life and marry me”. It was the most overwhelming experience of my life. The most beautiful hug, one of the happiest moment of our lives.

Our families met, started deciding the details about marriage, we were asked where do you want get married, we said Kasol, everyone laughed and we moved on. We were asked to see all the venues in and around Delhi, every Sunday we went to see these venues, everything we saw and heard was exactly what we did not want to do. On Christmas evening  Prashant and I left for Naukuchiatal, as a break from the wedding frenzy. The night we reached Naukuchiatal, we met an amazing couple Kunal and Sonia (They own this cute little stay called the Lake Village), they inspired us to do what we love, celebrate our love and not just get married . The following morning we woke up and the decision had been made we were in love and we were in love with Naukuchiatal, we so had to get married there. We came back told our parents, they were extremely apprehensive, wedding planners refused to do a wedding in Naukuchiatal, saying its impossible, then we had Bhramatattva, who promised us our dream wedding.
And finally we had a dream wedding! After throwing a lot of tantrums we got to celebrate our love.

Our aim was to make our wedding as eco friendly as we could, we got our cards made out of Jute, our return gifts were all herbal products made in the hills, local flowers were used for decoration. It was a simple yet an amazing wedding.
The Baraat came on the boat across the Naukuchiatal Lake, the Varmala happened on a boat decorated for us. Our Pheras happened with the lake as a backdrop.

For everybody who worked with us to give us our dream wedding, we definitely made their lives hell – as we were very stubborn, we didn’t let our photographer do a “shoot shoot” for us, we were finicky about the kind of film we wanted, the songs. There were back to back functions, and my make up artist was so patient with me being cranky and crazy. We gave everyone a hard time, but when we saw the photobook and the wedding film, we feel it was all just worth it!!

Special thanks to our parents for tolerating our nonsense and supporting us and letting us do this!

Akshit and Munmun-the moment you interact with these guys you realise what a powerhouse together they are. Akshit is mostly silent and has been  my support system for some of the major shoots that I have executed. On the other hand Munmun is a girl full of life and jokes (trust me she got a joke for every situation).

Together these two form a great pair.

A few words by Akshit on how he felt about all of it.

So, the story goes like this  Munmun and I met on an online dating site and kept on dating  till one year, none of us proposed , it was mutual understanding between us and we continued to stay together for 5 more years after our first meeting. This journey was full of love and fights , loads of laughs and giggles. I am an architect and Munmun is an artist , the reason of this long relation was our creative minds that attract and hold us together each and every single time when we indulge in a conversation. It is just like she catches my thoughts even before I speak. The connection is strong between us two and it has just grown stronger with the passage of time.

Our cultures are really different , so the rituals doubled when it came to our wedding. However our wedding  took place according to Bengali traditions. She came with her face covered in paan leaves, seated on a wooden plank lifted by her brothers. Looking at her all dressed in the bridal outfit bought back all the memories that I had with her by my side. We were finally stepping into a new future all together and everybody was celebrating and cherishing our union with full vigour and enthusiasm. The energy throughout the wedding was just magical and I could not  have wished for something better.

Our couple session was executed by Tej and no wonder they came out to be more beautiful than I had imagined. Good work Tej and thank you for such amazing photographs.

Ineet and Ankit dated for more than 5 years.Both of them belong to the hospitality Sector and are filled with warmth. They have a taste for art and were the key elements for making the session possible.

Here is the wedding story in the words of Ankit.

Like most others, ours was a chance meeting too; we worked at the same place while we were still in college. Young, tender hearts, waiting to fall in love… And, we did!! Nothing too dramatic about it though.. Met, became friends, attraction grew and BAMM!!  Although it’s nearly impossible to define Love, We guess it means different things to different people. To us, it just felt right to be with each other…

They say Love is tested through years and years that go by and so was ours. We grew closer, and we grew apart, sometimes all at once. Our relationship was tested through good times, bad times, ok times… Sometimes  through thousands of kilometres of distance between us. Safe to say though (at the cost of being corny) Love conquered all !

Luckily, with our parent’s approval and support, the decision to wed was nothing short of a cake-walk. The real challenge lay ahead though, if only you could imagine the complexity of a cross-cultural marriage. Well, we couldn’t!!

The 1 year of preparation started to seem like a really long eternity. The This and the That, the cultures, the norms, the relatives, the meetings, the long, endless discussions.. OH, the discussions!!

We all did eventually agree to have ‘Royal heritage of Rajasthan’ as the common theme of our wedding events. Our Sangeet ceremony at the old, time-tested ‘ITC Rajputana’ set just the right tone for the wedding. The choreographed dance performances by friends and cousins provided all the crazy fun and we couldn’t thank them all enough for being part of this important day with all their hearts.

We think, after all the years that will go by, we wouldn’t be able to think of a better venue than ‘Vidhyadhar Bagh’ for our W-Day. The light, the flowers, the candles, the music and everything else couldn’t have come together better to make the grand spectacle that it was. How the scenes are etched in all our memories is a proof of that!! and this is all thanks to our family & friends who stood strong when everything was falling apart, the event-planner who created magical atmosphere at the venues, the vendors who made it all possible, the caterer whose wonderful food people will remember for many years and the photographers who helped capture all these lovely memories. We hope, we haven’t missed anyone here but even if we have, you live in our hearts even if we occasionally miss to mention you. Cheers!!”

As put up by Arzoo:

Firstly, Special thanks to our parent for tolerating our nonsense and supporting us and letting us do this!

Arjan and I met in an architecture college around 8 years back and introduced ourselves with a good fight, but as it is said the first fights generally lead to a good friendship and a good friendship can lead to an amazing love story and the same happened to us.

As we both are architects, our love life was always surrounded by beams, columns, building, and work that it was hard for people around us to understand the love we shared especially our parents.

Never was there a pompous proposal nor a surprise announcement of love for each other, but a mutual understanding of feeling we had for each other. But as “students” in college we always kept our priorities straight i.e. family and our education and thus we saw a lot of ups and down and struggles, we have also celebrated each other success, we have cried, fought, and laughed together. Together we complete each other.

After college, we decided to go separate ways in our life but our destiny brought us together again and we began our practice together. After that we started meeting frequently and with each other’s family and our lost love re-kindled. Then, our families realized that no one better complimented and completed us but each other, with that we got engaged on 31^st may,2015.

And with that the preparations started for my dream wedding and Arjan’s nervousness as he always wanted a court marriage and me a full on filmy wedding. As we had an inter-caste wedding, the rituals happened according to hindu wedding with all the rituals of five days.

I designed everything, from house lighting, stage decoration, themes, to our wedding card.

Because of the creative quotient  we had, we also wanted our pictures to represent us. We wanted them to be creative but very personalized too. So we decided  to get the shoot done from someone who knew us, and as Tej is our batchmate, we requested him to do it.

So after all the discussions, agreements, disagreements, we saw the photos and we couldn’t have been happier.

Shruti & Anupam from Boston have been together for almost 9 years. Full of love for each other ,witnessing these two and their union was an experience in itself.

Both of them are so welcoming and down to earth that you never  feel you are out of your comfort zone. This is perhaps the first couple I befriended very fast. While discussing with them what’s in my mind and what kind of shots am I planning we got to know that we guys were on the same page.

Sunny days and chilly nights welcome November. This amazing pair planned a beautiful wedding in Jaipur, Rajasthan where they tied the knot in a traditional Rajasthani way. All the three days the wedding was full of different celebrations throughout tunes, dances and what not. The energy was fascinating where you have no option but to let it sink in. Always squeezing time from their super busy schedule for some good photographs during the wedding they did a lot of good efforts to make sure they carry some beautiful photographs back to Boston. I remember both of them saying “ We don’t get to see such forts and palaces back there and we just want it to be depicted in a very different yet spectacular fashion”. Power to you guys for making it happen.
