Tampa, FL Indian Wedding by Sona Photography

Ashley & Justin's love story began in 2011, during their undergrad days at the University of Central Florida. Their first meeting was brief, just a glance across a crowded room, but fate had more in store. It wasn't until a year later, when they reconnected on campus, that sparks truly flew. As Ashley puts it, from that second meeting, they naturally gravitated toward each other, making it clear that Justin was undeniably "the one."

Fast forward to a romantic trip to Paris, Ashley's dream city. Amidst rainy, chilly weather atop the iconic Eiffel Tower, Justin seized the perfect moment. While Ashley searched for shelter from the rain, Justin was preparing something unforgettable. "I saw him pull the box out of his pocket," Ashley recalls, "and I just knew. He finally got down on one knee, and it was the easiest yes of my life." The wedding planning was a joyful experience for Ashley, who especially cherished the weekly "planning meetings" with her mom and aunt, as Justin playfully called them. From shopping adventures to delightful bridal showers, every event was filled with laughter, warmth, and endless love from family and friends.

The couple's ceremony at the elegant Hilton Tampa Downtown, known for its refined interiors and spacious ballrooms, was beautifully orchestrated by the dynamic team at Fierce Events and was nothing short of spectacular. Occasions by Bali worked their floral and décor magic, transforming the venue into a breathtaking floral paradise that complemented the couple's royal attire perfectly and filled the air with a romantic, enchanting fragrance. Michele Rene The Studio enhanced Ashley's natural beauty with classic and elegant makeup and hairstyle that perfectly balanced timeless glamour with modern touches, making her look and feel like royalty.

Every detail, from the flavorful and authentic appetizers at Minerva Indian Restaurant and the delectable cakes and treats from Publix to the energetic beats provided by DJ X Factor, which kept the dance floor alive, contributed to an unforgettable celebration that was both luxurious and deeply personal. The evening's vibrant spirit was captured from every angle by MK Thommy Studio, whose cinematic artistry turned fleeting moments into lifelong memories. At the same time, guests enjoyed playful and lighthearted memories at the ShutterEye Photo Booths, leaving everyone with fun keepsakes to take home.

A heartfelt recognition goes to the brilliant team at Sona Photography, whose artistry beautifully blends contemporary elegance with vibrant cultural traditions, capturing every candid smile and sincere emotion in breathtaking detail. Renowned for their expertise in South Asian weddings, they skillfully documented each cherished moment, from the intricate details of Ashley's bridal lengha to the joyful expressions shared during the lively reception. Their authentic storytelling approach turned Ashley & Justin's special day into a stunning visual narrative, preserving memories filled with laughter, love, and genuine joy for years to come.

To future brides, Ashley shares her wisdom: "Enjoy every second of the planning and your wedding day because it truly goes by in a heartbeat—but it will be the best heartbeat of your life."

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
I met the groom in 2011 while in undergrad at the University of Central Florida. I went to a party with a friend and saw him looking at me from across the room. I didn’t have contact with him until about a year later when we reconnected on campus. That’s when I knew he was “the one”. We have gravitated to each other since that second meeting.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We were on vacation in Paris, France. I had always wanted to go visit the city, and seeing the Eiffel Tower was a bucket list dream of mine. I had a feeling that he would propose after talking about marriage for several months. He waited until the last night we were there. We had late-night tickets to go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. It was also raining and cold that day. We got to the top, and it was windy and raining, and we tried to find an area that was covered.  While I was busy looking around, I saw him pull the box out of his pocket, and I knew. He finally got down on one knee, and it was an easy yes.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I decided to have a girls' shopping weekend with my mom, my close aunt, and my cousin. I had arranged to find a white bridal lengha at Nazaranna in New Jersey. We got to New York a day early and decided to go shopping in Jackson Heights. While looking around the shops, I found the most gorgeous red and yellow lengha. Once I put it on, I didn’t take it off for another hour. I felt so gorgeous and like it was the one. I had originally wanted a modern white look. However, after putting on the red, I felt like I was in Jodha Akbar. I loved the royal classic look even more. I still have a white lengha from nazaranna that I loved and wore for a different part of the Hindu ceremony.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The most enjoyable part was planning the whole thing with my cousins, friends, and family. I had “weekly meetings,” as my now husband says, with my mom and my aunt, where we would discuss what I had done and what else needed to be done. I also enjoyed all the times I got to meet up with my friends and family for wedding-related events, like dress shopping and a bridal shower. I felt so loved during the whole process.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Enjoy the wedding planning process and the wedding day as much as you can. Before you know it, your wedding day comes, and it’s over in a second! But it was the best second of my life.

Surround yourself with loved ones who uplift and support you, keeping you grounded and joyful.

Lindhurst, NY Indian Wedding by Bliss Wedding Films

Some love stories feel like they were always meant to be. Manisha & Jason's is one of them. Their journey began not with fireworks or grand declarations but with a simple question at a mandir wedding: "Do you know where the photoshoot is?" Little did they know that that moment would lead to lifelong snapshots together.

When Jason asked Manisha to "get glammed up" for a surprise, she didn't know she was stepping onto her red carpet moment. On a breezy August afternoon at the LIC Pier, Jason—accompanied by their families and closest friends—popped the question with florals, a glowing Marry Me sign, and a chorus of "Say Yes!" If that's not cinematic magic, what is?

Manisha & Jason envisioned elegance, minimalism, and meaningful moments for their big day. Every venue was thoughtfully chosen to reflect their journey. Their Sangeet came alive at Pearl Banquet in Hicksville, where a vibrant Jungle Disco theme set the tone for a lively celebration. The wedding ceremony found its perfect home at Chateau La Mer, Long Island, fulfilling Manisha's dream of a mandap over water. For the grand finale, the couple hosted their reception at Hyatt Regency Long Island, an elegant space that embraced their large guest list with impeccable service and charm.

The talented team at Studio Sheen Events brought their vision to life, ensuring every detail flowed seamlessly. Stylish Events crafted the floral and decor elements, striking the perfect balance between minimalism and sophistication. Manisha's flawless beauty looks for each event were in the expert hands of Makeup by Gurdeep, whose versatility brought a fresh and unique style to every celebration. The artistic touch of Henna by Pallavi adorned Manisha's hands with intricate mehndi designs, telling stories of love and heritage.

Capturing the magic on film was Bliss Wedding Films, a team whose name says it all. More than just documenting events, they artfully wove Manisha and Jason's story into a visual masterpiece, where every glance, every laugh, and every emotional moment felt cinematic yet intimate. From the soft morning light during bridal prep to the golden hour pheras by the water, Bliss Wedding Films knew how to let each moment breathe, making the couple's love story the show's true star.

From there, the celebrations pulsed with rhythm and joy, thanks to the energetic beats of DJ USA's Arjun Patel and DJ Smooth's Akshay Luthra, who kept the party alive from Sangeet to reception. Live performances by Premier Drummers and Raj Daffu added layers of vibrant energy, perfectly complementing the carefully curated ambiance. The baraat procession, led by Ponies Will Travel, was a show-stopping spectacle that kicked off the festivities in style, ensuring every guest felt swept up in the magic. Enjoy today's footage!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
I first met Jason at the mandir during my best friend’s Mata Ki Chowki. I was a bridesmaid, and he was a groomsman. We exchanged glances but didn’t speak—until the day of the wedding.

That’s when Jason approached me, asking if I knew where the bridesmaids and groomsmen photoshoot was taking place. When I told him I wasn’t sure, he asked for my number so he could send me the details. What started as a simple exchange turned into texts, then FaceTime calls, and eventually, our first date—and the rest is history!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Jason asked me to find the perfect outfit and have my hair, makeup, and nails done—but little did I know what was in store. On a beautiful August afternoon, he brought together our families and closest friends and proposed at the LIC Pier.

A red carpet adorned with florals led the way, with a glowing Marry Me sign setting the scene. As he sang, "Girl, I got a question for you, can I get an answer?" our loved ones chimed in with "Say yes!"—creating a moment straight out of a dream. Then, in front of everyone dear to us, Jason got down on one knee and proposed. It was truly unforgettable.

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We began our search with venues, and one of my top priorities was having the mandap over water. Chateau La Mer on Long Island was the perfect choice, offering the breathtaking setting we envisioned. For our Sangeet, we wanted a venue that felt fresh and up-and-coming, and The Pearl in Hicksville was a perfect fit.

When it came to our reception, we sought a venue that embodied elegance while accommodating a large guest list. The Hyatt Regency – Long Island exceeded our expectations, not only with its grandeur but also with its attention to detail and exceptional customer service. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

MakeUpByGurdeep is truly a bride’s go-to makeup artist. After scrolling through countless MUA Instagram pages, Gurdeep’s work stood out—her ability to create any look was unmatched. For the same bride, she effortlessly crafted unique and fun styles for each event, making every look feel fresh and distinct.

Jason and I put a lot of thought into our décor, as we both gravitate toward minimalism. We saved the most elegant designs for our Reception, while our Sangeet was a vibrant Jungle Disco—an idea we envisioned together and brought to life with the help of our incredible team.

The décor closest to my heart, however, was for my Mehndi. Originally planned for another location, it was moved to my backyard, where my bridesmaids took on the entire setup. From morning till night, they worked tirelessly, hanging banners, draping curtains, arranging flowers, and adding countless thoughtful touches. Who knew a group of girls with medical backgrounds could pull off such professional-level décor? It was truly a labor of love.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I knew I didn’t want the traditional red—I don’t even own anything red. I wanted just a hint of it, but the base color had to be something unique (no pinks or whites). I shared my vision with my best friend—the same friend whose wedding led me to meet Jason.

At one point, I had a backup dress, but I wasn’t in love with it. Sensing this, she kept searching and then sent me the dress. The moment I saw it, I knew—it was perfect. I reached out to the vendor, Baljit from Zardozi Couture in Canada, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. After more than a year of searching, I had finally found the dress.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The time spent with your partner is truly special. Wedding planning is a creative journey—one that involves endless brainstorming, bouncing ideas off each other, and celebrating the moments when something just clicks. Each decision, big or small, is a reminder that you're in this together. (Jason and I would high-five whenever we had one of those "aha" moments—those were the best!)

More than anything, planning a wedding lays the foundation for marriage: teamwork. I’m grateful that Jason and I embraced this early on in our relationship, but for couples just starting out, cherish this process. It’s the first of many beautiful moments of working side by side—just the beginning of forever.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our wedding ceremony itself was the highlight for many of our guests. They described it as something straight out of a movie—filled with magical moments. From live painting capturing the essence of the day to our sunset vows, the soothing melodies of wedding tunes, and our pandit beautifully explaining the meaning behind each vow, every detail was woven together to create an unforgettable experience.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Jason and I have always been captivated by sunsets—the way they paint the sky with warmth and promise. It felt only natural to exchange our vows as the sun dipped below the horizon, our pheras unfolding by the water’s edge.

As if fate had woven its own blessing, our pandit smiled and noted that sunset is the most auspicious time for this sacred ritual. With a hint of amusement, he added, "I don’t know where they got this idea from," as if the universe itself had whispered it to us, guiding us toward that perfect moment and blessing our union.

Their first conversation was about a wedding photoshoot. Today, they're the stars of their show.
