Washington DC Engagement Session: Lisa and Akhil in Georgetown

Sunny Mathur — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 19:05:58 +0000

Lisa never took games too seriously, she would play to have fun and enjoy the company of others. Akhil was the polar opposite; he was competitive in nature and everything was taken as a personal challenge. These two met in the oddest of circumstances; Akhil and Lisa were placed on the same flip cup team at a friends Halloween party. Lisa’s first memory of Akhil was Akhil directing Lisa how to “properly” play the game. They playfully bantered back and forth about the game, about each other and their mutual friends. Akhil brought up the “science” behind flip cup and soon sparks began to fly as they flirted, talked and laughed together.

A few short weeks later Akhil asked Lisa out to dinner in Northern Virginia with desert in Georgetown; their marathon first date had them both head over heals for the other and soon their long distance love story began; filled with playful banter, trips to the movie theater and walks around Georgetown.

Their Washington DC engagement session incorporated many of the elements that made up their courtship over the past three years including movie theaters, parks and Georgetown itself (sorry no flip cup). Akhil and Lisa we had an absolutely amazing time photographing your engagement shoot and cannot wait for the wedding!

Leesburg Virginia Engagement Shoot of Kina and Tony at the Winecroft Vineyard

Sunny Mathur — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:08:26 +0000

6 years. That is how long it will be before Kina and Tony finally get married. 6 years of dating; 6 years of laughing together, crying together and simply being together. Six years of wine tasting, couch surfing, job hunting, house purchasing and life side by side. Within those six years these two have seen everything about each other and know they have found their soul mates.

Kina and Tony met during a Navratri garba, they talked, flirted and laughed togehter at the end of the night they went their separate ways. However Tony knew in his heart that there was a spark between them and he wanted to see Kina again. He knew there was something more than a new friend and started to pursued her. Tony would come up with elaborate reasons to talk to her, randomly bump into her and finally ask her out.

As the weeks went on she finally accepted and their first date was at CHAMPS, the conversation flowed smoothly as they spent hours just talking, laughing and enjoying each others company. As the night ended Tony asked Kina out again, she shyly smiled, accepted and thus began their beautiful relationship.

Kina and Tony will be getting married in less than a month and we cannot wait for the festivities to begin!

Northern Virginia Indian Wedding of Meena and Venk at the Sunset Crest Manor

Sunny Mathur — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 18:55:08 +0000

She sat down on her couch with a glass of wine and her phone; nervous, apprehensive and intoxicated with excitement. Venk and Meena had one of their scheduled phone calls and she couldn’t wait. Meena and Venk both knew from their first phone conversation that they had met the person that they were going to spend the rest of their lives with, even though they were over 300 miles apart. Their phone conversations began as a weekly phone call that turned into daily three hour long conversations. Soon after they were e-mailing each other, texting each other and simply calling the other to hear the sound of their voice.

Venk is a kind warm hearted child at heart who loves the outdoors and spoiling Meena. She is beautiful, witty and a perfect balance between diva and tomboy. They talked for hours upon hours sharing intimate details about their lives with each other. She balanced her full time law school course load around their scheduled phone conversations. Their long distance relationship blossomed and soon Venk came down on an almost weekly basis to see Meena. Their dates ranged from dinners at the most exotic DC restaurants, to hiking trips across the county and to hookah sessions at all the local hotspots. Soon their long distance relationship was too much to bear and Venk moved to the Washington D.C. area simply to spend more time with the love of his life (and their dog Link).

Meena and Venk’s traditional South Asian wedding took place at the beautiful Sunset Crest Manor on Chantilly, VA. Meena and Venk love the outdoors, camping and hiking are one of their favorite things to do. That was the primary reason they planned for months for the perfect outdoor ceremony and reception.

Mother nature had other plans. It was a stormy weekend, thunder and lighting galore and then hurricane Irene made landfall. Down trees, powerlines, and flooded streets were common in the affected area. It was difficult to get navigate around the city let alone host a wedding.

Yet the loving families, friends and close relatives of Meena and Venk headed out to Sunset Crest Manor to celebrate the marriage of Meena and Venk. Friends and family pitched in to turn the once outdoor ceremony into a gorgeous barn style wedding. Family and friends packed into the barn and smiled, cheered and congratulated the beautiful couple. The ceremony could not have been more beautiful as the two love birds smiles incessantly, laughed and simply enjoyed knowing that they were moment away from being married.

Once the ceremony was over; family and friends headed over to the manor for a beautiful lunch and rested before the reception. Meena looked stunning in a beautiful teal lengha that made Venk lose his breath and become speechless. Their eyes never left each other as we photographed the two of them alone and then the family formals.

The reception took place in the beautiful barn as well with gorgeous decor designed by family and set-up by friends! Once the speeches were over and the beautiful couple cut the cake; friends and family danced the night away!

Meena and Venk is was an absolute pleasure to photograph your wedding. We hope you love the images as much as we do.

After a few weeks of planning and conspiring we created a video that told potential brides the reason wedding photography is so important. We wanted to give them a message as to why couples love so deeply, laugh so loudly and love like no one is watching And what better way of doing that than giving couples a better understanding of us? We hope you enjoy the video!

Washington DC Wedding photographers Photographick Studios discuss why wedding photography is so important “in this thing called life.”
