A wedding is an interesting occasion for the bride and groom who are band in the middle of it. All eyes are on them, and rightly so. The way a bride and groom flow through the wedding in this scenario tells you a lot about them and their approach toward life.
I’ve been struggling to find the right words to describe Yashasvini & Shasvat, and then as I write this, the words are revealed to me. You see, I am sitting on a chair adjacent to a garden where birds fly in and out of view. Most of the time it is a lone bird that perches itself on a branch, and sings little song before flying away. And then on some special moments, a pair of song birds arrives. They dodge around each other when they are airborne, being close to each other all the time, and then find spots on a branch to sit close together. It seems like they sing to each other, and then one flutters its wings and takes off, and the other follows almost instantly. These birds remind me of Yashasvini & Shasvat’s flow throughout their wedding. They were inseparable.
If you know Yashasvini & Shashvat and the world they inhabit, it is clear that it is all larger-than-life. And within this world, these two seem to have built a tiny oasis of their own, where so much is shared with just a glance, where the way one clasps the other’s hand in a crowd is enough for both of them to know the rhythm at which each of their hearts beat.
The memories from their wedding are so clear for us - it began with Shashvat’s haldi at home which started with a ganesh puja and ended with his friends tearing his kurta before showering him with bucketloads of water. This was followed by a dance practice where all three of Shashvat’s adorable dogs ran around the practice room as everyone danced. The evening mehendi was held at Yashasvini’s home, where a village from Haryana was recreated in spirit, and the Jindal’s put on their dancing shoes before the Dholis and the DJs took over. Yashasvini’s haldi was an intimate family affair full of emotion, and the sangeet later that night had Michelin star pop up restaurants, incredible drinks, and saw performances by Jubin Nautiyal and Baadshah. And then finally the wedding day - Shashvat brought the baraat to Yashasvini’s home, where they got married in a beautiful, meaningful ceremony.
It has been such a privilege to document the Jindal and Somany families across these celebrations - there is so much that happened, and we are so proud of our entire team that documented the infinite memorable moments of this wedding. While most of it is for the eyes of Yashasvini & Shashvat and their friends and family, here are a few glimpses of the bride and groom, sharing a few special moments with each other through their wedding.
