Tharunya and Vivek make such a lovely couple. They are both lawyers.They are friends with the earlier two ‘lawyers’ weddings I covered. I had met Vivek at Vaishnavi’s wedding and we spent quite some time chatting. Didnt know then that I would be covering his wedding to Tharunya a year later.

I started with Tharunya’s mehendi function a couple of days before the wedding. Nirmalya my second shooter was with me for their wedding at the sprawling Khedda resort off Kanakapura road just outside Bangalore. This was my second wedding at Khedda Resort so I was pretty familiar with the place.

We started with Tharunya’s makeup followed by Gowri pooja. The wedding mantap was made on the lawn in the central area beautifully decorated with colored drapes and flowers. The wedding followed for the next couple of hours with family and friends showering the couple with blessings and wishes. We snapped some quick group pictures just after the wedding wrapped it up with some lunch time pictures.

A beautiful couple, beautiful venue and a wonderful wedding.. Thanks a lot guys for making us part of your most important day. Wish you all the fun in life.. 🙂
