Neha & Brandon’s Traditional Wedding

The Foundations: Mehendi & Haldi at Home : The festivities kicked off where all the best stories begin: at home.

• The Mehendi: We captured the quiet, rhythmic artistry of the henna application. These frames are filled with the fragrance of eucalyptus and the intricate maps of love drawn on Neha's skin. It was a day of close-knit laughter and the slow, beautiful anticipation of the days to come.

• The Haldi: A stark contrast in energy, the Haldi was an explosion of golden turmeric and pure, unscripted joy. Capturing Brandon and Neha drenched in yellow paste amidst a flurry of marigold petals provided some of the most vibrant, high-energy shots of the entire weekend. It was a ritual of light and purification that set the stage for the ceremony.

  The Grandeur: Wedding & Reception at Hilton Polaris, Ohio

  The celebration then transitioned to the Hilton Polaris, an iconic Columbus venue that provided the perfect canvas for a premier fusion wedding.

  • The Fusion Ceremony: Seeing Brandon and Neha bring their families together was a cinematic dream. The fusion elements were handled with such grace—honoring traditional Indian rituals while maintaining a contemporary American elegance. The scale of the Hilton’s ballroom allowed us to use wide-angle cinematography/Photography to capture the sheer magnitude of the union.

  • The Reception: The night was a sophisticated affair. We utilized the venue’s dramatic lighting to create editorial-style portraits of the couple in their reception finery. From the high-energy Sangeet-style performances to the soulful first dances, the energy was electric. The reception was the perfect "final act," showcasing the couple's transition from two individuals to a powerful, united duo.
