Deepa and Vikrumโ€™s South Asian Indian Wedding at the Grand Lodge in Cockeysville Maryland

Deepa and Vikrumโ€™s South Asian Indian Wedding at the Grand Lodge in Cockeysville, Maryland

Venue Location: The Grand Lodge, 304 International Circle, Cockeysville, MD 21030

After an amazing engagement session with Deepa and Vikrum at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, we knew that their wedding day would be nothing short of fabulous at the Grand Lodge in Maryland. Both are natural behind the camera, but believe it or not, most do not come to us so comfortably behind the lens. Hence, helping clients navigate that awkwardness during their session is imperative for natural and organic images on their wedding day. One of the reasons we give our sessions complimentary to our clients is that we, as their photographers, can understand the value of it before their wedding day.

A great engagement session for us involves multiple things, first and foremost, our ability to establish trust and understand how this particular couple photographs best. Then, we deliver a gallery that not only captures them in their natural state but also a few beautiful posed photos to make the parents happy and a couple headshots for our clients to be able to update their profiles on the web with some beautiful new images. We truly try to make this a win-win for both of us, giving this time to one another to build a relationship and invest in the quality of the imagery, which is the outcome of such an investment on the wedding day. Especially in this case, given I only met with Mom and Dad over Zoom, so this was our first time speaking to and meeting the couple.

I hope you enjoy viewing a few of our favorites from our time with them as much as we enjoyed taking them with Deepa and Vikrum at the National Cathedral, a backdrop that never disappoints!

    Okay, we said it. Somebody had to.

After 20 years and more weddings than we can count, here's what we've learned: the couples we click with best aren't chasing trends or a perfectly styled feed โ€” they want photos that still mean something at their 25th anniversary, when grandparents aren't in the room anymore and that mandap is the only place they still "are." If that's not you, no hard feelings, truly. But if it is... we'd love to hear about your day. Drop a comment or DM us โ€” let's talk.
    The bride told us: don't miss the little things. So when the caterer started serving ice cream person to person instead of setting it out on the table, we did what we do best โ€” a little hide and seek to catch it before it melted (literally and figuratively). Pink kulfi in martini glasses, mithai on the side, a potli bag waiting for its moment โ€” this is the kind of detail that disappears in about four minutes flat if nobody's chasing it.

I scream, you scream... you get the idea. Got a detail you're worried we'll miss? Tell us in the comments or send us a DM โ€” we love a good challenge.

    That smell right before a wedding starts? Jasmine. Trays and trays of it, strung tight into garlands, waiting to be placed in the bride's hair or wrapped around a wrist. It's such a small detail in the grand scheme of a wedding day, but it's everywhere in Indian culture โ€” poojas, weddings, welcoming guests, even just Sunday mornings at home. There's something about fresh jasmine that makes a moment feel official, like the day has really begun.

We always try to get a frame of it before the flowers go anywhere near the bride โ€” the texture, the fragrance you can almost feel through the photo. 

Have jasmine flowers been part of your family's traditions? Tell us in the comments, or DM us if you're planning a wedding and want photos that catch these small, fragrant details too.
    That look on his face โ€” half amused, half "do I have to do this again?" โ€” while someone (probably an uncle or family friend) rubs turmeric into his hair mid-haldi. This is exactly the kind of moment I mean when I say kids learn what they live.

Every family does haldi a little differently โ€” who sits where, who applies it first, how long the teasing lasts before someone finally wipes their face. Even families from the same town, same language, same background โ€” it's never identical. That's what I love photographing. This little guy is absorbing all of it, and someday he'll be the one holding the turmeric for someone else.

Want photos that catch these in-between moments, not just the posed ones? Send us a DM โ€” we'd love to hear about your day.
    This is the hug that gets me every single time. The bride in her flower jewelry, glowing from a morning of ceremony, wrapped around the woman who probably held her as a baby. Grandmothers show up different at weddings โ€” there's a softness, a pride, a whole history in the way they look at their grandchild in that moment.

We photograph a lot of weddings, but it's these in-between hugs that we chase hardest. Years from now, this is the photo that gets pulled out and passed around. Tag someone who needs to see their grandmother's/nannamma's face like this, or drop a ๐Ÿ’› if this reminds you of your own.
    Okay, I have to be honest with y'all โ€” I am NOT a pani puri girl. ๐Ÿ˜… My brother-in-law hyped these up so much in Hyderabad that he drove me over an hour through absolutely brutal traffic to hit up one of the best spots for it, and when that crunch/cold tamarind water/cilantro combo hit me all at once... I just wasn't ready. Coming from the girl who makes her own idlis and dosa batter from scratch with a stone grinder, you'd think I'd be all in on this one. Maybe I just need round two with lower expectations!

We photograph SO much incredible food at Indian weddings and I love learning the stories behind every dish, every family favorite, every 'you HAVE to try this' moment. Tell me โ€” am I wrong about pani puri, or does everyone feel this way the first time? ๐Ÿ‘‡ And if you're planning a wedding full of food, family and moments like this, DM us โ€” we'd love to talk.

    Okay but when the bride's parents look this good together, they deserve their own feature on our page! All jokes aside, Aish's mom, Geeta, was truly the hero of this day. That smile says it all.

Parents don't get nearly enough camera time at weddings, and we're always looking for these moments. Tell us in the comments: who was the real MVP at your wedding?

    Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend clearly never met this Manisha's pooch!

Right before we headed out for portraits, she got down in her lehenga, veil and all, just to say goodbye to her pup. No hesitation, no worry about her dress. That tells you everything about her. Moments like this are exactly why we love showing up early on wedding days, because the best photos usually happen when no one's posing.

Tag someone whose pet would absolutely be in their wedding photos, or DM us if you're planning a celebration and want it documented this honestly.
    This one gets me every time. ๐Ÿฅน Manisha and Kevin moved their whole wedding timeline up so her Dad could be there to see her married - because sometimes love means letting go of the plan you had and holding onto what actually matters. We weren't able to be there for that particular celebration, but seeing this photo and hearing that her father got to share in her joy? That's everything. Sending you both so much love, Manisha & Kevin. ๐Ÿ’š

If your family's story doesn't fit the 'traditional timeline' either - we get it, and we'd love to help you capture it anyway. Drop a comment or DM us to chat!

    Okay, we have to talk about this sherwani ๐Ÿ˜ Every single detail on Durgesh's custom tailored jacket โ€” the gold embroidery, the mirror work, the leaf motifs โ€” was chosen with so much intention, and honestly? We're just as obsessed with the customization as he is. Moments like this remind us why we love capturing the little details just as much as the big ones โ€” the hands, the fabric, the story stitched into every thread.

Got a custom look for your big day? We'd love to hear about it โ€” drop a comment or DM us to chat!
