17 of 25: Rakesh and Vidya @ Sheraton National in Arlington, VA

Our Labor Day Bride and Groom, Rakesh and Vidya! This was a couple that had their hearts set on us even before they walked through the door. Rakesh refused to leave until we allowed him to secure their wedding date!

Vidya herself has to be one of the most quietest, laid back, down to earth South Asian bride that I have EVER met, not that I don’t love all our girls the same! It was just so nice to have her embrace the fact that she trusted whatever we did, recommended knowing that she hired because we would do whatever it took to ensure that she had wonderful shots of just how her day was, just as it happened. I have to admit that before even blogging I knew which shot was my favorite, ever so vivid there is one image hands down that I love more than any other that we had taken on her wedding day even though Rakesh and Vidya have a lot of images to LOVE!

Both their families are equally amazing and to hear Vidya’s dad speak of her was almost enough to bring tears to any daughter’s eyes, her dad explains her as an “Atomic burst of joy…”, Vidya is just that and Rakesh so very well adds to the beauty of her joy, you see them together and his focus in life is making sure Vidya is always happy! That is an ideal hubby for sure.

We hope that you will both keep in touch and that we may see you around in the New Year!

Raksha Sutra... for those of you who did not know what the threads are that the priest ties to the couple and the family members. They are sacred threads blessed by the priest for the wearer. It is one of our kid's favorite parts when going to the temple or having family functions. 🧶
I love how Himica before doing anything else looks around to acknowledge who all was present in the crowd. It was a sweet and kind gesture I felt as you could feel how important it was to her we were all there! 🥰
There was a moment I thought he might not make it through that gate! However his uncles came through for him here 🤑
When your boys are equally ready for it! Here comes the groom 🥳 (or bridegroom to those aunties and uncles 😄)
Westfields Marriott's terrace in the summertime is one of the best places for a B&G to be! 👩🏽‍❤‍👨🏽
The most influential men in your lives tend to be your father, brother, and uncles #FACTS, it is no wonder they party the hardest with you. 🤩
Sepia tones will never go out of style. By the looks of their glances at each other, I don't think they will to each other either. 😍
Lady in Red 🎶

Because for those who might not know the song is about how beautiful his wife looks and how much he loves her. This photo sparks that kind of RAW emotion. Himica's smile is one of such purity. I feel we were so lucky to be their chosen ones 📸

If Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz had chosen gold, I do believe those slippers would of looked a little more glamorous! 👠 But this gal here won't need to click her heels because she has already arrived! 🏰

Loving everything about this snap 📸, her genuine smile, playfulness, the beauty of her mehndi and the perfection of her hair and makeup, the minty-sageness of her lehengha and jewelry, her flowers in her hair, and lastly the bling of her ring - the reason we were all there!
