Sara and Kevin @ the Blossoms, Oh my!

So it was actually Ms. Sara who chimed in for the blossoms initially and how dare I tell her “No.”, as one of our past clients viewing our previous posts stated just a moment ago on our Facebook page “Did they offer you a million dollars?”… we were laughing hysterically because we have not been back to the blossoms in three years because it just was too insane the last time we were there! But luckily Sara and Kevin were troopers and they just followed our lead doing anything and everything we asked, the result… that you can see for yourself and no one would know that there were a gazillion people around, just Sara and Kevin in DC!

Sara and Kevin will be getting married in June at the fabulous Four Seasons and we just cannot wait! Sara is the most joyful, bubbly, charismatic soul I think that I have met till now, she is so tiny yet packs such a powerful punch in her personality, she is one that once you have met her she is so genuine and pure hearted that you cannot help but fall in love with her. This explains Kevin 😉 He is the exact opposite as far as being laid back and subtle, full of humor and up for anything as long as it makes Sara happy… including rescuing their duffle bag from the Metro, but that is a story for them to share being posted on the blog I could not even begin to do it justice!

We knew the moment we met the entire family at our studio that this was a couple that truly won our hearts, we are not only honored to have been selected as their photographers, but were more than happy to endure the blossoms to spend some time with them on a bit of a double-date during their session, much love goes out to you both!

Shatakshi and Madhu brought SO much energy to the day! Here is a recap.

A little more personal than our usual wedding day around here. 🤍

Our niece Shelby is getting married this October, and with me having the honor of being her Matron of Honor, we turned our home into a little Tea & Mimosas garden party to celebrate her. 🌸🥂

Srinu and I created the décor ourselves — apparently 20+ years of working alongside some incredibly talented wedding creatives has rubbed off on us just enough to become dangerous with flowers and balloons. 😂

But as pretty as everything turned out, this little Reel is really about what happened once our home filled up.

Moms. Sisters. Daughters. Cousins. Friends who have long since become family.

Everyone showing up for one person we all love so very much.

We spend our lives preserving celebrations for other families, and every once in a while we get the reminder of just how important it is to preserve our own.

The details made it beautiful.

The people made it matter. 🤍

October, we’re coming for you, Shelby. 🥹

Kavya + Kyle 😍 Their wedding at Stonewall Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, was every bit as emotional and beautiful as we hoped it`d be. There`s always a quiet moment right before a bride steps out — everything slows down, and you can just feel it. Kavya`s was one of those. Two families, two cultures, one couple who are so clearly, completely in love. We`re still smiling over these teaser images!



Want a wedding day that feels this real and this loved? Send us a DM or book a consultation with us — we`d love to hear your story.

You may know WHAT they’re doing. But do you know why her footprints are red?



Let’s break down Kanku Pagla.



If you’ve been to a Gujarati wedding, you’ve probably seen some version of this: the bride’s feet covered in kanku — the red vermilion associated with auspiciousness — and the footprints she leaves behind.



Sometimes on cloth, sometimes on paper, sometimes carefully preserved. Depending on family, community and generation, when and how it’s done can look completely different.



But the tradition underneath all those variations is what fascinates us. Kanku Pagla literally means those red, auspicious footprints. And the symbolism reaches much further back than the keepsake we see today. In Hindu tradition, Goddess Lakshmi — prosperity, abundance, good fortune — is represented by her footprints. And a new bride arriving at her marital home has long been associated with the arrival of Lakshmi herself. That’s why one of the most recognizable forms of Kanku Pagla occurs during Griha Pravesh: the bride steps into kanku, leaving her red footprints as she enters the home for the first time as a married woman.



Over generations, families carried and adapted that symbolism into their own traditions — including pre-wedding ceremonies like the one we’re photographing here.



And THAT is what we think matters.



South Asian traditions aren’t frozen in time. They travel. They change. They become regional, then familial. Grandmothers teach daughters, daughters teach granddaughters, families move across oceans…and sometimes the way something is done shifts while a piece of its original meaning quietly remains.



So the next time you see a bride’s feet painted red and paper sliding beneath them…don’t just see two little red footprints.



You’re watching a family carry forward an ancient idea of auspicious beginnings, prosperity, and the threshold between one chapter and the next.



Maybe that’s why we’re a little obsessive about photographing things like this.



Twenty years from now, someone will know those are her footprints.



We want them to know why they mattered.
