Lockes: Mayuri & Kunaal, A Hindu Wedding

I was so excited for this unique wedding! I have developed a great relationship with the Mayuri and her mom Hema over the years. Their family is from India. It was fun experiencing their cultural traditions. Hindu weddings involve a significant amount of detail and are very colorful. To prepare for the ceremony, Mayuri had her body decorated in henna and her face adorned with jewels. She wore a sari for her wedding and a different gown for the reception. We did two different styles to compliment each look. Her groom, Kunaal, rode in on a horse! This was all held at Hotel Murano in downtown Tacoma, WA. My favorite part was the couples surprise dance to a mix of Micheal Jackson, Beyonce and Bollywood Hindi film music. Check out their entertaining first dance video below!
