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.

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!

India is a land of cultural diversity and so are its marriages. If Punjabi weddings are considered loud then Tamil weddings are simple and serene. Gujarati weddings are filled with traditional rituals and Christian weddings are modern and fun-filled. When two cultures come together and celebrate, it can only be fun and lively. Let us show you what happens when North weds South!

For Kinshuk and Drishti it was their parents who played cupid and introduced them to each other. From the first meeting, they felt an instant connection that soon turned into a conviction that they were meant for each, following which, there was no looking back!They decided to host their wedding in their home city at Saya Grand Club & Spa Resort, most of which they planned themselves with the help of their families. Initially they were supposed to get married in December 2020, but the wedding got pushed to February 2021, thanks to Covid!

The two days of wedding festivities kicked off Celebrating Kinshuk’s South Indian heritage in style, a vibrant welcome party kicked off the festivities.  A colorful hi-tea and Mehndi ceremony followed, which was replete with a lively décor of flowers in bright shades of orange and pink. The joyous occasion saw sunlit revelries of music and dance. A tunnel of string lights welcomed everyone to the Bollywood themed Sangeet night. The sangeet also marked energetic performances by Gurdeep Mehendi. Magical lights and groovy music added magic to the night as the couple and their families set fire to the stage with their moves, dancing till the wee hours of the morning.

And finally the big day saw décor in a palette full of blooms that lit up the lush greenery of the venue. A stunning blend of white and purple flowers made up the canopy of the grand mandap. Drishti donned the quintessential red and looked gorgeous in every way, while Kinshuk wore a serene blend of white and blush. Drishti’s bridal entry had all our hearts. Their day wedding was beautiful and dreamy in every way, and would give you serious wedding goals. Kinshuk & Drishti’s effortless chemistry made this wedding even more special, and we loved documenting every bit of their stories.

It was our absolute pleasure to work with Kinshuk & Drishti. We first got in touch with Kinshuk before covid came into picture, thereafter we stayed in touch and he always updated the wedding plans which had to be changed. We always aim at forming lasting relationships with our couples and families, and that exactly happened in their case. Along with our beautiful couple, both the families were super warm and enthusiastic, and made the wedding totally memorable.
