Maharashtrian wedding at IIT Bombay

Prashant & Antara had an amazing wedding under a tree at IIT Bombay. 

We had a chance to cover Prashant and Antara’s beautiful and colorful wedding in Powai, Mumbai. The first day of the festivities started with a vibrant haldi at Meluha The Fern. We saw very joyous yellow vibes, and no one was spared. The action was soon followed by a flower and water shower, and things turned out to be really epic and crazy. The evening was glitzy and glamorous as our dearest couple entered hand in hand for their sangeet, followed by some singing and dancing. The crowd was enthralled and it was indeed one beautiful evening of catching-ups, get-togethers, and new memories got made, along with cherishing old ones.

The wedding day was a beautiful one, it was a Maharashtrian wedding at IIT Bombay. Antara’s father is the Dean (R&D) of IIT Bombay and heads the mechanical engineering department of IIT Bombay. And therefore, it naturally just fell in their plans to consider IIT Bombay for the wedding. The IIT Bombay campus is a green heaven and nestles among the hills, flanked by Powai and Vihar Lakes. Check out one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve shot overlooking Powai Lake – Jatin & Levina.

The aura at Prashant and Antara’s wedding was magical. The mandap was set under a tree and was spectacular in every way. Antara was excited, getting ready and donning a red kanjeevaram, and looking like a dream. Prashant complemented her in his cream sherwani. The entire day was beautiful, and a rightful reminder of the fact that day weddings are just the best for great photos. They also went out of the conventions, as they had woman priests officiating the wedding. We are thankful to be a part of this stunning occasion. Browse through the beautiful gallery of this blissful wedding.

Father’s Day 2023- A Photo Story

Our Fathers are our first heroes.

A father is someone who is always present when you experiment and pulls you up when you fall. He watches from the shadows and silently guards us against all threats of the world. A father is someone who we look up to no matter how tall we grow. They silently support us with the warmest smiles and sometimes with heavy hearts. We cannot imagine our lives without them. 

And of course words are not enough to express what they mean to us, and hence we have photographs. Like they say – A picture is worth a thousand words. Here are some of our favorite pictures over the years, and how we love and cherish them. On this Father’s day, here’s honouring our fathers, grandfathers, brothers, uncles, or any important male figure who have played a significant role in our lives. Happy Father’s Day to the amazing fathers out there. Thank you for guiding us in the right direction and being a source of strength and support.

The pre-wedding celebrations kicked off with an explosion of colors and joy as Arvind and Keerthi’s families came together at the magnificent Mrugavani Resort, just a short 5-minute drive from Ridhira Retreat.

Telugu-Tamil wedding at Dream Valley Resort, Hyderabad

We had the absolute pleasure of documenting the mesmerizing wedding of Nikhita & Sreekar. The celebrations occurred at the picturesque Dream Valley Resort, providing an attractive backdrop for all the events. From the vibrant Mehendi ceremony to the heartwarming Haldi rituals, culminating in a captivating reception, every moment was a joy to capture. We’ve always loved covering Telugu weddings and here are some of the best experiences we’ve had: Lavanya & Rithvik, Priyatham & Manaswi, Bhagya & Vignesh

Nikhita & Sreekar’s wedding festivities commenced with the brisk and breezy Mehendi ceremony, beautifully adorned with shades of pink. Nikhita’s radiant smile, and intricate henna designs, complemented by her exquisite outfit from Taruni Clothing, and Sreekar’s joyous personality, made for some enchanting shots.

 

 

 

As the sun dipped, the couple and their loved ones came together for an unforgettable Sangeet night. The energy was palpable as everyone danced and celebrated in high spirits. Lavanya Reddy, a talented and enthusiastic dancer, had choreographed eye-catching and show-stopper performances for Nikhita & Sreekar.

 

 

 

Day 2 began with the sacred Haldi ceremony, where the couple, with their families and friends, celebrated in hues of yellow. The infectious atmosphere and aura of a Telugu haldi never fail to amaze us and we got to capture some best candid moments. Following the Haldi event, the traditional Pellikuturu ceremony took place.

 

 

 

Excitement was in the air as everyone prepared for the evening’s main event – the wedding. Against the setting of the earthy Dream Valley resort, the couple exchanged vows in an enthralling ceremony, surrounded by loved ones. The venue was transformed into a place of opulence and romance. The theme of the wedding was as such where conventional met contemporary. The graceful mandap with a green, pink, and white palette made a perfect backdrop for the photos and videos alike. Contrasting to the mandap, Nikhita wore a traditional red-gold saree, dressed as a Telugu-Andhra bride whereas Sreekar was dressed in a white Pattu Veshti and shirt as a Tamil groom. The ethereal ensembles by Kanakavalli brought an air of desi splendor to the occasion. The expert touch of Siro Makeup Studio ensured that Nikhita’s natural beauty shone through effortlessly.

 

 

 

The final day of the celebrations, held at Siara Retreat, was marked by a chic and smart reception, with a live clarinet performance adding a touch of sophistication.

 

We were thrilled to be a part of Nikhita and Sreekar’s alluring wedding journey. The pictures from their wedding truly radiate happiness and grace.
