vaidehi + samir | BAPS SHRI SWAMINARAYAN MANDIR WEDDING

filed under:

Weddings

A chance online meeting for these two led to a lifechanging coffee house date.. followed by several more.. and then an incredible proposal in Miami involving a drone carrying in the ring. Uhm. True story.

Vaidehi and Samir’s traditional Hindu wedding had SO many celebratory details that a whole weekend was just barely enough to cover it all! There were so many amazing events, but one of my absolute favorite parts was watching Samir, a West Point graduate and army officer, make his entrance behind a HUGE humvee equipped with music-blasting speakers. The energy of his baraat truly set the tone for the rest of the wedding, and I’ve never seen two families come together so closely to celebrate a union like I witnessed on Vaidehi and Samir’s special day. Without further ado.. enjoy!
