North Indian wedding at Vivanta Dwarka, New Delhi

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.

But first, check out their amazing film!

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, ambience, 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.

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!

Marwari Wedding at Taj Lands End

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!
