Indian Wedding

Dance your dance like no one else - An attempt at visual poetry

What we have seen, and continue to see in weddings inspired this attempt

Our collaborative creative process is such that there is no specific starting point, especially because we don't know what form things will take. Last evening, after finally being home together after months on the road with time and freedom for our creative energies to play, it has taken a form of visual poetry inspired by photographs of moments we have shot across weddings

As Ekta came to me with a curated bunch of visuals, I started writing. And things started coming together such that every line of the poem corresponded to the visual accompanying it, and it built over time. So that is how you read it. One line, with a visual, and then the next line with the next visual.

Pooja & Manjot's heartfelt wedding at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, India

Pooja & Manjot's heartfelt wedding at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, India

While Pooja & Manjot knew, and knew of each other for a while; it took some time for their story to brew. What they share in common is a love for good food, good music & dance. At the same time, they are quite different from each other in some ways - if you know them, you know what we are talking about. One thing though, is for certain - that together, they are electric.

Mehandi & Shivam's destination Indian wedding at The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur

Mehandi & Shivam are opposites in so many ways, and yet so similar in some.

Mehandi can light up any room she is in, spreading so much love around, it is unbelievable. On the other hand, you will find Shivam in the same room, in the middle of his closest friends, trying to stay out of the spotlight.

And then Mehandi will find him and pull him onto the dance floor, and you will see what love is.

Aashna & Aniruddh's wedding in the mountains of Mussoorie, JW Marriott

Aashna & Aniruddh's wedding in the mountains of Mussoorie, JW Marriott

#ComeWhatMay. Never has a hashtag been this relevant and meaningful. Over the last year, Aashna & Aniruddh faced whatever challenges life threw at them with a smile on their face and unconditional love in not just their hearts, but also the hearts of their friends and family. And so, when they got married in May at The JW Marriott in the mountains of Mussoorie, ‘Come What May’ had become more than just a hashtag - it was a collective cheer for having conquered hurdles together, and a rallying cry to come together and face any more challenges that life would bring. To stand united in the love of family & friends. And we were fortunate to be in the midst of all this, witnessing and experiencing it, and growing as human beings.
