A New Delhi Wedding Photography Story<\/span><\/h2>\n

Picking up from Karishma & Aditya’s Engagement in Delhi<\/a>, last year, we were so excited to be a part of their wedding this year. Despite being an “arranged” match, they hit it off instantly.<\/span><\/p>\n

To think,\u00a0Aditya almost didn’t agree to meet Karishma the very first time because he was worried that a Delhi girl just won’t be able to adjust to life in Bombay. We’ve heard this Delhi-Bombay tussle many times before, right? Thankfully his Dad paid no attention and booked him on the flight to Delhi, giving\u00a0Aditya absolutely no chance to back out. All it took was one meeting for these two to fall head-over-heels in love. Yes, it’s true. They will tell you themselves in the wedding movie we made for them (at the end of the post). <\/span><\/p>\n

Even during the engagement, they\u00a0couldn\u2019t keep their thoughts, eyes or hands off each other. They share such a lovely chemistry that it was a real pleasure to spend time shooting their special day. During the wedding, it was lovely to see that their chemistry was stronger than ever and this Delhi-meets-Bombay match was one of our favourites from this past season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wedding was an elaborate 3-day affair in Delhi, with both families staying at the Taj Palace Hotel.<\/a> It had all the elements of a destination wedding, right in the heart of our lovely city. Ample time and space for both families and sets of friends to spend quality time together, bonding them together in a way that only “big-fat-Indian-weddings” can manage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wedding festivities began with Karishma’s mehendi<\/em> and a laid-back mehendi<\/em> lunch at the hotel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The interaction between the couple is always such a pleasure to watch – their\u00a0happy and newly-in-love expressions never fail us!<\/span><\/p>\n

The evening was a traditional Punjabi sangeet<\/em>, with folk singers, dances, boliyan<\/em> and jaaggo<\/em> by the family. We really love it when “urban” families reenact these traditions, even if it is all in fun.<\/span><\/p>\n
