A + K’s Indian Wedding at Dover Hall in Richmond, VA

Meet the Couple

A + K are a couple of food- and nap-loving NYC physicians + badasses who were looking for a progressive wedding photography team who shared their anti-Trump politics and who would would “get” their inter-cultural wedding at Dover Hall in Richmond. AND OMG DID WE GET IT. This was one of the most colorful weddings we have ever had the joy of documenting, and their love for each other was radiating the entire time. They chose to incorporate many of the beautiful Indian wedding traditions, including Sehra Bandi (turban ceremony), Baraat (pre-wedding parade with dancing and the groom on a horse), a wedding ceremony under a flowery mandap, and amazing performances during the reception. The bride wore TWO different wedding saris (why do one first look when you can do two?), and the groom wore a traditional Indian outfit for the ceremony and changed into a dapper tux for the reception. It was also extra fun to see these traditional Indian elements taking place at a very Anglo space like Dover Hall — and there were countless little details that A+K brought in to make the event a truly immersive experience. When speaking to them before their wedding, A said of K “We get through everything together. She is true partner in crime and a best friend, I hate going any place without her.” He summed it up by saying he feels incredible about their partnership, and we tend to agree. We also feel so lucky to have been there to capture their love. Now prepare your eyes for MAGIC!!
