The groom kissing the bride's forehead, both in Maharashtrian dress, from Shreya and Kushal's wedding

A wedding story

Shreya & Kushal

The day

Maharashtrian styling, purple and gold, with a haldi nobody walked away from clean. Four ceremonies, each with a completely different light.

01 / 04हल्दी

Haldi

Turmeric from the hands of everyone who loves you. It's cold, it stains, and nobody leaves clean.

02 / 04मेहंदी

Mehendi

A long afternoon of sitting still while the henna dries. The colour deepens overnight.

03 / 04संगीत

Sangeet

The night both families perform for each other. Rehearsed for weeks, forgotten by the second song.

04 / 04फेरे

Pheras

Seven rounds of the fire, a promise with each. The quietest stretch of a loud day.
