Intimate Bengali Wedding at Bougainvillea, Karjat

Bengali Weddings are a vibrant affair and involve many unique rituals that are followed very passionately and this sets it apart from other regions in the country. 

Arunabho & Sagarika’s wedding took place at Basho Bougainvillea in Karjat, set amidst the unspoiled beauty of lush green Sahyadri mountains and overlooking the stunning Mulshi Lake! They had their wedding after the first wave of covid died down, it was a truly intimate yet rustic wedding celebration with only limited close friends and family in the bliss of nature with breathtaking views. The colorful yet elegant decor complimented the charm of the backyard wedding festivities very well. The Petite Project did a great job creating the perfect vibe in this off-beat but breathtaking place. We had a great time capturing a lot of beautiful moments at this wedding!

Mehendi was a chill get-together where everyone bonded over a few drinks and danced. Haldi is always eventful and the friends and family had the time of their lives drenching the couple in water and flowers. The Wedding Ceremony has the most fun ritual, Saat Pak, where Arunabho waited anxiously for his bride who donned a red and gold banarasi looking gorgeous as ever!

Here is our story, in our own words! 🙂

Anupam – Being a wedding photographer, I was quite excited about my own wedding, and I had tons of ideas, but back then Soumi wanted a simple wedding, her only concern was to be dressed as a typical Bengali bride so we went along with what the bride needed. Being the most experienced person with respect to weddings, most responsibilities regarding planning came on to me. One thing I was clear on was that I wanted both families to stay in the same place for two days and have all the functions in one big venue, so we settled down for a RTISC Sports club in Navi Mumbai, which had ample of choices of having an open-air wedding and also banquets for indoor functions like Sangeet and cocktail. However not all things go as expected in a wedding, and we had problems with the default decorator of the venue. Apart from that we didn’t worry about other things going here and there, and just made sure we enjoy our wedding along with our friends and family. For photography we had our team to care of all aspects. 

Soumi –  I always wanted to be a bengali bride. This was a distinct wish right from my childhood. And when the time came, I told Anupam about it. I am really glad that he agreed, or he had no choice either (laughs)! We also agreed on having a single wedding (rather than two, Bengali and UP wedding in our case). Luckily, both our parents agreed as well. Then started the real wedding planning. I was lucky  about the fact that I didn’t have to worry about the photography & cinematography. So for me the major lookout areas were the makeup & clothes. For makeup, I booked Ishwari from Ish Bridal Make-up. Bengali brides have this typical forehead design, and the fact that she had covered bengali brides before gave me a lot of comfort. And she did a fabulous job! For my wedding attire, I wanted the red benarasi saree and we got that from Paaneri, Dadar. I wanted a saree because time and again, I can wear it and cherish the wedding memories forever. The wedding days passed away in jiffy, but one thing which me and Anupam ensured was to have a lot of fun and that’s exactly what has been captured in the photographs. Not only us, but our friends, families and the relatives let their hair down and totally enjoyed the wedding at RTISC Sports Club in Ulwe, Navi Mumbai. And when I saw the photos and the wedding film, I literally cried, out of happiness. It was overwhelming in every way. You actually get to know the wedding emotions when you see your own wedding photos and film. That joy is different, like living the day through the photos & film. And I am really lucky that Team KnotsbyAMP did such an amazing job!

Bengali Malayali Wedding

Whenever two cultures come together, it has always been an interesting fusion for us photographers to shoot, as it brings out the best of both the cultures. And it got more exciting as we shot Malvika & Sreejish’s Bong-Mallu wedding. Last year, around this time, we shot this amazing wedding, where Malvika and Srejish got married as per malayali rituals in the morning, and followed by bengali wedding in the evening having fun all throughout the wedding. 

But before you proceed to check out their photographs, you have to see their fun filled romedy “Happily Coupled” which we made for them! We won the Adobe Premier Pro Award for Best Video Editing by Better Photography for this wedding film!
