The wedding details were finely selected considering Gaurav and his entourage of friends are alumni from the National Institute of Design. A warm, charming and loving bunch of people.

Mehendi / Henna tattoos on Gaurav’s and his brother’s arms – the tattoos spell out the brides’ names in Hindi. Both the brothers were getting married simultaneously. See Shikhar & Ritika’s wedding here.

Many thanks to Gaurav and Manasvi for allowing me to be a part of their wonderful wedding. I love how the images turned out – I try to use a different tone and effect for each wedding album depending on either the client’s preferences or based on the vibe I get – yeah – don’t ask me to elaborate! I made a lots of friends as well and it’s awesome connecting with everyone on Facebook afterwards. I still talk regularly with Gaurav – about things Android and #apps!
