Northern Virginia Indian Wedding: Akhil and Lisa

Sunny Mathur — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:25:12 +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 that must be won. These two met in the oddest of circumstances; Akhil and Lisa were placed on the same flip cup team at a friend’s 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 bringing in words like “momentum”, “velocity” and “spilt beer on wood law” and soon sparks began to fly as they flirted, laughed and talked together.

Two short years later Akhil planned out an entire day full of festivities to relive their relationship in an effort to woo Lisa into marrying him. With riddles in hand he escorted Lisa to Great Falls, VA and before the first stop was complete and before he could open the bottle of wine from their picnic lunch he got down on one knee and proposed simply because waiting any longer would be too much to bear. All she could think of was simply “this is the kind of love that you see in the movies.”

Six months later Lisa was sitting in her hotel room waiting for her wedding day to finally begin. Lisa and her mother sat together in the wee hours of the morning and reminisced as Lisa had her hair and make-up done. Lisa’s mom cracked jokes at Lisa’s expense and enjoyed their time together. Akhil was in his room four stories down and simply enjoying his morning as his parents helped him get ready.

Once they both got ready and prior to the ceremony we were able to take these two lovebirds away for a few moments as we captured some fantastic images of the two of them in love and enjoying each other’s company for the last time before they were to be married.

The Baraat was nothing short of spectacular as Akhil and his twelve groomsmen, family and friends danced to the music of a dholi escorted by DJ Lucky. The groomsmen danced all the way to the Mandap leading Akhil in to be married. Moments later Lisa entered with her bridesmaids and uncle. Lisa looked stunning as she sheepishly smiled all the way to the Mandap. The ceremony was a traditional Hindu ceremony with readings of beautiful scriptures, a walk around the ceremonial fire, the traditional seven steps precluded with the blessings of family and friends.

From the ceremony family and friends went directly into cocktail hour as they enjoyed fantastic food and beverages. The reception started shortly after with touching speeches, entertaining dances, a cake cutting and a reception people will never forget. Family and friends stayed till the early morning hour dancing, drinking and celebrating the love of Lisa and Akhil.
Lisa and Akhil we had an absolutely amazing time at your wedding and we hope you love the wedding images as much as we do.

Outdoor Hindu Wedding of Puja and Paul!

Sunny Mathur — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:00:42 +0000

Their fairytale love story started when Paul offered to carry Puja’s books back to her dorm from a class they shared. A simple gesture for a beautiful girl wearing a cast. Puja was recovering from a dislocated shoulder and any weight on her shoulder brought shooting pain. She happily obliged and Paul; the gentleman that he was walked Puja home, carried her books and offered his wit and charm. Soon their walks from class detoured to get a bite to eat where they laughed, joked and began to fall in love.

Fast forward five years and their fairytale love story writes a chapter that has a beautiful wedding. Puja and Paul were married at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly Virginia in a beautiful outdoor fall wedding filled with fall colors, rustic décor and a gorgeous flower draped wedding.

On the day of their wedding Puja began getting ready in the bridal suite with her bridesmaids and family helping her get ready. She had a stunning gold and Red Lengha offset with Toms Shoes that looked fantastic. Paul was on the opposite side of the hotel relaxing with his groomsmen sipping exotic beer before the beautiful ceremony started.

The ceremony was a gorgeous outdoor Hindu ceremony that united eastern and western traditions. Upon the completion of the Hindu ceremony including the walk around the fire, seven steps and the reading of the phere’s. The couple intertwined Western traditions such as the exchanging of rings and a first kiss that brought the cultures together and made the wedding truly unique and memorable.

Following the wedding was a stunning reception transcending the rustic elements and beautiful flower theme. The reception was filled with heartfelt speeches, beautiful Bollywood dances and friends and family celebrating all night long.

Puja and Paul we had an absolutely amazing time photographing your wedding and we hope you love the images as much as we do!

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!
