Priya & Arjun

Priya and Arjun’s wedding was, by any measure, big — four days, six functions, and a guest list that felt more like a small town than a wedding party. Our job across those four days was less about finding moments and more about not missing any of the hundred happening at once.

The haldi was chaos in the best sense: turmeric on every surface, three separate photo booths nobody planned, and Priya’s cousins staging an ambush that left half the family bright yellow by noon. We shot most of it handheld, moving constantly, because standing still meant missing something.

The wedding ceremony followed tradition closely — full rituals, a family priest who had married three generations of this family, and pheras that lasted almost ninety minutes. We built a formal shot list in advance specifically for days like this one, so that even the posed family portraits felt considered rather than rushed.

What stayed with us longest was the last morning — a quiet breakfast the day after the wedding, when most of the "event" was over and it was just family again, tired and happy in equal measure. We asked to stay for twenty more minutes. Some of our favorite frames from the entire week came from that unremarkable, ordinary morning.
