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.

Maharashtrian Wedding at The Westin, Powai

Abhijeet and Siddhata tied the knot at the iconic The Westin with its serene lake views situated in the bustling suburbs of Powai, Mumbai. Maharashtrian Weddings are known for their simplicity but they are truly beautiful with the rituals and attires. Their wedding photos showcase the charming aspects of the property such as the lush green venue and the calm blue lake.

Abhijeet first saw Siddhata in their University Library where at first sight she left such an impression in his mind that he got nervous to talk to her at that minute but after a few weeks of small talk he finally asked her out for coffee… They soon dated throughout University and after graduating when she moved to a new state miles away from him. He used to spend half his salary to visit her every few months! But that hard work paid off and the day finally arrived when the two joined hands and decided to make it a forever thing.

Set against the backdrop of the serene lake, their wedding mandap was decorated with various types of roses that illuminated the glow on both their faces. Abhijeet rolled up in a Maserati to his baraat and everyone danced around him and paved the way for him. Siddhata’s entry was fun and light-hearted as she made her way to the Mandap when the moment their eyes met, it was like witnessing pure love. The love and happiness around them were lit in every way. We got to witness cute moments unfold throughout the wedding, Abhijeet could not take his eyes off Siddhata, and it made our work easy. They had the Reception in Raddison Blu, Nagpur where their closest friends and family joined them in completing their special day.

Check out these beautiful images from their wedding!

 

 

 

Pre-Wedding Shoot in Lonavala

Pre-Wedding Shoot in Lonavala

When we were talking with Harsh & Alisha for couple shoot options, we immediately suggested The Machan Treehouse Resort in Lonavala for them. It was a good choice, given how hectic wedding preparations can get, and provided an ideal winding-down opportunity for these two before the wedding actually began! #Win!

And for us, we couldn’t be happier to click some truly epic shots and get mesmerized ourselves as we captured the couple letting themselves loose in the wildlife. 

Away from the chaos of civilization, this was a perfect place for a digital detox and solitude, something which we all crave from time to time. We reached Lonavala early in the morning and had the morning mist greet us, adding a hint of romance as well as taking our pictures to a whole new level, giving us all the right #feels

Apart from the Machan, we also took our couple to the peaceful Pavana lake. A stroll around this bounteous water body is plenty for any tired city soul to rejuvenate, as we saw in the case of Harsh and Alisha. We cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick getaway!

Thank you for choosing us Harsh & Alisha, this was great fun 🙂

Two Weddings – Four Days of Fun, Dance, Joys & Happiness!

Karan & Sonia’s wedding celebrations had two weddings and four days of celebrations – and we loved being a part of it. This is a christian maharashtrian wedding we covered 🙂

The wedding festivities kicked off by a light-hearted meet and greet event at Kino’s Cottage celebrating Sonia’s malayalam roots in style, a vibrant welcome party kicked off the festivities. The evening saw some performances and soon it broke into a quick after-party. The next day was the catholic wedding which happened at the Francis Church. The day started with Karan & Sonia getting ready at their respective houses. We witnessed moments, with so much peace and calmness at the church. However, things soon turned crazy at the evening reception. And the evening saw dances, toasts, wedding march and some great food spread.

 

A week later, the maharashtrian wedding was planned. The first day of the maharashtrian wedding celebrations saw the sangeet. Karan & Sonia made a grand entry, which was beautiful and stunning. Further, their dance performances made the crowd go tottaly in awe of them. Later, the party went on till the wee hours of the night making people come to their true elements.  The wedding day started early, and saw décor in a palette of lavender that lit up the lush greenery of Taj Lands End Mumbai. Check out our other weddings covered at Taj Lands End (Vishesh-Dhvani, Sanjana – Rahul, Mugdhaa-Devam). Sonia wore a purple navari and looked gorgeous in every way, while Karan wore a serene blend of white and blush. Their day wedding was beautiful and dreamy in every way, and would give you serious wedding goals. 

 

It was our absolute pleasure to work with Sonia & Karan. We spoke for the first time over a zoom call, and had a great rapport. Over a few more zoom calls, the decision was made. And these guys had us on-board with almost nine months left for the wedding. 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. 

Marwari Wedding at Taj Lands End

Marwari Wedding at Taj Lands End

Mugdhaa and Devam were destined to meet. They were working in the same company, but never came across each other. It was in the lockdown last year, they met through an arranged marriage match, set up by their parents. From the start itself, they had an instant connection. And therefore, it didn’t even take time, they got married in three months, from the time they started talking. And the energy and the happiness they bring out as a couple together, is totally infectious. You will get to see in the pictures! This was a beautiful Marwari Wedding at Taj Lands End, Mumbai.

The by-product of covid is that we can have real intimate events now. Considering the current covid scenario, the intimate weddings are here to stay. And that’s exactly what happened at Mugdhaa & Devam’s wedding. 

This is our second outing at the property (also check Vishesh-Dhvani’s wedding). The first day was marked by Mehendi. As Mugdhaa sat putting mehendi, her mom, aunts and grandmother performed for her, even dancing on the songs Mugdhaa used to dance while she grew up. A lot of beautiful stories and anecdotes were shared, followed by smiles and happiness all around. The next day started with poojas and some rituals. This was a Marwari wedding, so we know there would be quite some rituals.

But everyone were excited about the evening, since it was the sangeet. Let us tell one thing – everyone in Mugdhaa’s family loves dancing, and despite everyone staying at different cities/countries, they were really prepped for the sangeet. The sangeet was absolutely amazing and magical. Mugdhaa surely won hearts with her solo performance on “Bawraa Mann”. Mugdhaa & Devam’s performance & Mugdhaa’s parents performances were also a highlight of the evening. This sangeet would surely be remembered by everyone in family and us for really a long time.

The finale day started with Haldi. and it was all yellow! A lot of happy and fun stories were created. The wedding was one beautiful affair, with Mugdhaa making entry on “Chaudhry” sung live by Mame Khan, followed by the stunning jaimaal ceremony. Mugdhaa’s parents decided to not do the kanyadaan ceremony as they don’t believe they can ever give up their daughter. We need more such examples in the world to set the narrative and break the stereotypes.

We are truly grateful to all the amazing people who were a part of #devamhuamugdh, especially Mugdhaa & Devam and both sets of the parents.Thank you for having us and all your love, support and encouragement. We recently lost Devam’s father due to covid, which is really unfair on God’s part. He was such a sweet & jovial person, and we have so many fond memories of him from the wedding, we will always remember him through the pictures.

We will always cherish the sweet memories of this wedding, and here is their photo-set below. But before you check the photos, check their beautiful wedding film which we made with a lot of love!
