Wedding photography is a curious thing – we truly believe that some marriages are created in heaven…even if they are arranged here on Earth! Nikita and Sameer wed a few weeks ago in the NCR and we had such a wonderful time shooting their wedding. Even though we do this for a living, it is always an incredible experience to be around a couple who are deeply in love.
Nikita & Sameer both live in Australia, as their families relocated there many years ago. Sameer’s parents saw Nikita at a friends home, during a Puja and instantly decided that they just had to introduce her to their son. The attraction and connection between the two young people was fairly instantaneous too — not very long after they met and began to date, Sameer organised an elaborate day out for Nikita, going around town in a carriage, and proposed! She obviously said yes, after which they met up with the parents to celebrate and seal the deal.
They decided to have the wedding in India, where both their families are from. The wedding in Delhi was a one-day affair, held at the Kempinski hotel in Ghaziabad. It was a medium sized affair, but so full of love, laughter and camaraderie that it was a delight to shoot.
We managed to squeeze in a small couple shoot at Rajpath in Central Delhi.
Oh, we just LOVE central Delhi!
#HAPPY! We’re happy too!
Curious bystanders notwithstanding – we just wanted to build in an element of Delhi to their wedding story
They make such an adorable couple!
We got in a little early, on the day of the wedding, to take a few pictures before they got ready for the wedding…
An apple a day keeps the doctor away…and your rings together too!
Sameer had a few of his friends from Australia over for the wedding too…
Show us your mahendi!
Strike a pose!
We found a pool table near the area that was being used to place Sameer’s pagdi!
Too many caption ideas come to mind 🙂
We loved the day(light) baraat outside the hotel…
This would have been a nice time for a selfie
Rocking the baarat – Australian style!
We found a few moments alone with the bride before she made her grand entrance…
The ceremony was simple yet beautiful…
The simple mandap during twilight
The happiest moment of all — laddoo time!
Open wide..aaaaaaa!
With a quick change of clothes, the couple returned for the reception…
Nikita was looking gorgeous in her reception outfit too!
Jaimala part 2…
After a few group pictures, there was dancing…
The first dance
It ain’t a wedding until the epic selfie has been taken!
There were emotional speeches…
And, finally, the tearful Vidaai…
It really was a wonderful wedding — don’t forget to watch the trailer from their wedding movie to hear their story, from Niki & Sameer themselves…
