Mother’s Day 2023: A Photo Story

Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate and appreciate the love and sacrifices of mothers. We have had the privilege of capturing the beautiful moments of countless mothers on their son/daughter’s wedding day. We have seen the silent, warm, and beautiful moments of their unconditional love & support for their children. For us every time its Mother’s Day when we witness and get to document these beautiful moments full of love, happiness, care, and joy 🙂

On this special day, we want to take a moment to honor all the amazing mothers out there. From the late nights and early mornings to the tears, smiles, and laughter, “She” is the one who has been there through thick and thin. She is the one who makes silent sacrifices every single day just so you can have the best of everything. A mother is literally like our superhero.

The joy and pride that mothers feel on their son/daughter’s wedding day is overwhelming. It’s a bittersweet moment for them, as they are thrilled to see their child start a new chapter in their life but also sad to see them leave the home. Nevertheless, they put their own feelings aside and focus on making the day as special as possible. One of the most emotional moments of a wedding day is when the mother sees her son/daughter in their wedding attire for the first time. It’s a moment filled with so many emotions, it’s a reminder of the love and bond, the sacrifices that were made to get to that moment, and also the fact that children grow up so fast. To the mothers of the brides and grooms that we have had the pleasure of working with, we want to say a special thank you for entrusting us with capturing your son/daughter’s special day. It is an honor to be a part of such a momentous occasion and to witness a rollercoaster of emotions that a mother feels as she watches her son/daughter get married.

Here’s to every extraordinary, loving mother in this world, we wish you a happy Mother’s Day filled with joy, laughter, and cherishable moments. Thank you for all that you do.

Rithvik & Lavanya’s Telugu wedding in Hyderabad

Lavanya-Rithvik’s Telugu wedding in Hyderabad was a beautiful one, filled with excitement, emotions, energy, and of course, amazing color palettes. We covered Rithvik’s sister Rishika’s wedding in Vishakhapatnam in the year 2019, it was an exhilarating feeling to be reuniting with the family again to cover Rithvik’s wedding 🙂

The wedding was made truly special by their story, which was one of gradual discovery and growth, culminating in a beautiful union that we felt excited to witness and capture on camera. It started when Lavanya and Rithvik met on an online dating platform and felt a spark. Their first meeting was promising, and they realized they had a lot in common. Over time, their relationship grew and evolved, with Lavanya bringing positivity and energy to Rithvik’s life.

The festivities began with the Sangeet at Prestige Nirvana Club, Hyderabad. The venue’s seamless fusion of greenery and symmetric patterns resulted in aesthetically pleasing pictures. Lavanya and Rithvik looked fabulous in their matching Lilac outfits. The mood was lively and upbeat, with family and friends joining in to celebrate the couple’s impending union, with their spectacular performances. Every performance was a treat to the eye and we just enjoyed capturing every moment of the evening. Lavanya and Rithvik looked radiant as they danced the night away, surrounded by loved ones who couldn’t wait to see them tie the knot.

 

The following day, the Haldi ceremony transpired. Lavanya’s ceremony came about at Ashiana Banquets, Hyderabad, while Rithvik’s unfolded at his house. The atmosphere was filled with fun and laughter as friends and family covered the couple in turmeric paste. The exuberant aura of a Telugu Haldi never fails to captivate us, and we cannot resist the allure of documenting lively celebrations through our lenses.

 

As the day wore on, the enchanting ambiance of Ashiana Banquets played host to Lavanya and Rithvik’s heartwarming wedding event. With the calm yet lively surroundings at the venue along with stunning decor highlighted by red-white palette flowers and fairy lights, we got some amazing photographs. Lavanya looked breathtakingly beautiful in a Telugu bridal saree, adorned with jewelry and intricate henna designs. Rithvik cut a striking figure in his traditional Telugu attire. The couples exchanged garlands and took vows in the presence of their loved ones.

 

As their photographer, it was a delight to capture their chemistry. From the playful banter during the Haldi occasion to the emotional moments of their big day, from Lavanya’s tears as she saw Rithvik step out of the car on the wedding day to the laughter and fun they shared during Talambralu, every experience we witnessed was unique in their own way. When looking through the pictures of their wedding, one could see the joy and love emanating from every frame.

Weddings are a special occasion, and every couple deserves the perfect celebration to mark the start of their journey together. This was the case for Naina and Apaar, whose wedding events were nothing short of spectacular. Their wedding took place at the stunning Vivanta Dwarka, New Delhi. Sprawling over 7 acres, the venue is an ideal location for celebrations. As their photographer, we were thrilled to be a part of their special day, capturing all the details that made their wedding unique.

The nuptial ceremonies in Delhi are infused with a distinctive charm, owing to their grand nature, where the festivities unfold into a kaleidoscope of emotions, ambiance, cuisine, attire, embellishments, and other enthralling elements.

As their wedding photographer, it was an honor to capture the beautiful moments from Naina and Apaar’s celebrations. The decor was impeccable, and every event was uniquely themed, which added to the charm of the occasion. The attention to detail was visible and it was evident that the couple had spent a lot of time planning their special day.

While the decor and events were stupendous, the story of how they met was also amazing. They met through mutual friends in 2017 but didn’t connect immediately. It wasn’t until they met online that they started talking, and the rest, as they say, is history. Their proposal in Puerto Rico, on a secluded beach, was nothing short of magical. Their wedding was a true representation of their love and commitment to each other.

Naina and Apaar’s wedding transpired over two days. Starting with day 1, the mehndi ceremony was decorated with vibrant colors and intricate designs, which matched the theme perfectly, creating a festive atmosphere. The couple made their astonishing appearance with colorful smoke guns and dhol-tasha, while their loved ones cheered and danced along. Following the mehndi function, the engagement ceremony came about in the evening. The venue was transformed into a stunning setup with a beautifully decorated platform with chandeliers above, fairy lights, and verdant green drapes. The couple exchanged rings, a moment filled with love and joy. We captured some beautiful moments of the day, filled with enthusiasm.

 

 

Moving on to Day 2, the Haldi ceremony was a lively affair. The space was decorated with marigold flowers, which added a pop of color to the occasion. As Naina and Apaar stepped into the venue in their flamboyant pink and yellow outfits, their family and friends showered them with a cascade of yellow petals, played fun games, and soon smeared them with turmeric paste and water. Finally, the wedding event, which was the highlight, commenced on the evening of day 2. Naina’s sparkling jewelry and intricate henna designs complemented her breathtaking red bridal attire, while Apaar’s confident smile added to his dashing look in a rose-gold sherwani. With the Phoolon Ki Chadar held high above her, Naina’s grand entrance commanded everyone’s attention, while Apaar stunned the crowd with his baarat, rolling in a vintage Rolls Royce. What made the wedding arrangements truly mesmerizing were the spherical mandap, lanterns, fairy lights, and even the carefully decorated chairs. Soon, the couple performed the rituals and exchanged their vows, it was an emotional yet beautiful affair.
