Sara & Dev

Sara and Dev had eight months to plan a wedding around two demanding jobs and one very specific rooftop in Lower Parel that Sara had been in love with since a friend’s birthday party three years earlier. Everything else about the wedding was built around getting that one venue at golden hour.

It worked. The ceremony started forty minutes before sunset, timed almost to the minute, and the skyline behind them did something no studio backdrop ever could. We positioned two shooters on opposite ends of the rooftop specifically to catch the moment the string lights switched on mid-ceremony — nobody had planned it that way, but it happened right as they exchanged rings.

City weddings move differently than destination ones — tighter spaces, louder rooms, more energy per square foot. We leaned into that instead of fighting it, shooting wider and closer to the crowd than we usually would, because the crowd was half the story here.

By midnight, what had started as a 120-person wedding had turned into what felt like a rooftop party that happened to have vows in it. That shift — from ceremony to celebration to something looser and louder — is exactly the arc we tried to build into their film.
