Over the years, we’ve seen weddings of every size, from grand celebrations with hundreds of guests to smaller, more intimate gatherings. Aditi and Anirudh’s South Asian micro wedding at the Hyatt Regency Dulles reminded us that the size of the guest list has nothing to do with the depth of love and joy that fills the day.

This celebration was a beautiful example of how a smaller wedding can still feel just as rich, vibrant, and meaningful—especially when surrounded by the traditions that make South Asian weddings so extraordinary.

The Hyatt Regency Dulles: A Perfect Setting for Intimate Weddings Located in the heart of Northern Virginia, Hyatt Regency Dulles provided the ideal backdrop for Aditi and Anirudh’s micro wedding. The venue’s modern design, spacious ballrooms, and dedicated staff made it the perfect choice for an elegant and effortless celebration.

With fewer guests in attendance, the Hyatt Regency’s versatile spaces offered Aditi and Anirudh a chance to create an intimate atmosphere without sacrificing any traditions that make South Asian weddings so memorable. From the mandap set up with warm, golden hues to the thoughtful table settings for their closest friends and family, every detail was perfect.

The Beauty of a Micro Wedding Aditi and Anirudh’s wedding day was a reminder that sometimes, less truly is more. With a smaller guest list, the focus shifted to the moments that matter most—those shared between the couple and their loved ones:

• Aditi’s family lovingly helped her with the finishing touches of her stunning red and gold bridal saree.
• Anirudh’s quiet, joyful anticipation as he waited for his bride under the mandap.
• The warmth and laughter were shared during the traditional pheras, surrounded by their closest family members.

The smaller scale of the celebration allowed for an intimacy that’s often harder to find in larger weddings. Each guest felt connected to the couple, and every moment was filled with an extra layer of emotion and meaning.

Tradition Meets Intimacy What we love most about South Asian weddings is the deep cultural significance of every ritual. Aditi and Anirudh’s micro wedding didn’t compromise on these traditions. From the sacred vows exchanged during the pheras to the blessings of their families, their day beautifully blended tradition and intimacy in a way that felt both authentic and timeless.

And while the celebration was smaller in size, the joy, color, and vibrance that define South Asian weddings were still very much alive.

Capturing the Little Moments That Matter For Srinu and me, photographing micro weddings like Aditi and Anirudh’s is always a memorable experience. Smaller celebrations allow us to focus on the details, the connections, and the quiet moments that make a wedding day so personal. It’s about how Aditi smiled when she caught Anirudh’s eye across the room or the tearful hugs shared after the ceremony.

These moments tell the story of the day, and we feel honored to have been there to capture them.
