Bangalore Winters are cold enough for one to pull out their sweaters & cardigans. But this wedding, held over two nights in December 2015, warmed everyone up. It was the lovely coming together of two families - Priyanka's & Paul's. Friends travelled from across the world to be a part of this wedding. And boy did they have a ball!

The wedding was conducted as per Arya Samaj rituals by a lady priest - a first for me. She beautifully translated the vows in English for everyone's benefit. And these vows were among the most beautiful I had heard. Really! Turns out, it was the last wedding that the priest was conducting for she was retiring.

Lastly, I also got a chance to see some brilliant Makeup Artists at work namely, Sabrina, Salman & Nabila. Quite the experts at their craft!

Hope you enjoy the photos!

”I was extremely nervous about all the smiling that I had to do. But Elvin put me at ease by suggesting different poses I could do to appear more relaxed in photos. The photographs are amazing and he captured the emotions of the events beautifully.

Elvin arrived on time for every event. We were very happy with his professionalism and prompt replies. I don't think I had to chase after him for anything.

I got to see the album when my mum was visiting us and the pictures look amazing in print! It makes me so happy to look at the album. The photographs actually help me relive every event!” - Priyanka & Paul
