Delhi Engagement Photography Story: Karishma + Aditya, Taj Mahal Hotel, India

A New Delhi Engagement Photography Story

Karishma and Aditya got engaged a few weeks ago in New Delhi, at the lovely Taj Mahal Hotel. When Karishma and her mother came to meet us for the very first time, we joked around with her about how she is too young to be talking about marriage – literally. She’s a design student at Pearl, barely in her final year! But 2 minutes of chatting with her and we just knew she was smitten!

After countless conversations within the family about “looking out for a good match for her”, Karishma warily gave in to exploring the idea of (an arranged) marriage, based on the assumption that it would take quite a while to find one. By then, she was sure that she would feel ready to get married. Little did she know that the very first meeting with the very first “proposal” would feel so right.

They hit it off instantly and, even during the engagement, obviously couldn’t keep their thoughts, eyes or hands off each other. They share such a lovely chemistry that it was a real pleasure to spend time shooting their special day.

We began by joining Karishma while she got ready for her big day...

She tried very hard to keep a straight face while we cracked some very silly and very inappropriate jokes!

A quick moment with her family before the madness began…

We love this space at Taj so much — of course, the hotel staff is predictably dignified and more than a little serious – they wouldn’t allow any photos even a few steps outside the venue hired for the event. So we had to work very quietly and very quickly on these!

There was a lot of excitable meet-and-greet between the couple and their families…

Then came the engagement and the families blessed the couple. And fed them lots of sweets, in true Indian style.

Before we wrapped up for the night, we snuck them away for a few portraits. Under the radar from the hotel staff, obviously!
