A shimmering Southern California skyline, the elegant Hilton San Diego Bayfront as your backdrop, and the energy of two soulmates ready to celebrate theirs forever. That's precisely what happened when Prutha & Sam tied the knot in a wedding that was nothing short of film magic with a side of modern flair. With a mix of traditional flair and modern finesse, every detail was carefully curated to reflect Prutha & Sam's story. And trust us—this couple had us grinning, tearing up, and (yes) pulling out our dance shoes more than once.

Set against the coastal elegance of San Diego, the wedding ceremony honored Indian traditions with a deeply emotional and joy-filled vibe. The mandap was a floral fantasy Sacheens Decor & Events brought to life. Subham Events by Kavita ensured every moment flowed seamlessly—from baraat to vows—infusing style, grace, and, yes, the perfect amount of dhol energy.

We'd be remiss not to begin with the brilliance of Samson Productions, who didn't just document the day—they told a story. Their cinematography captured every loving glance, every firework-worthy moment (literal and emotional), and every side-eye from the aunties during the dance floor madness. From dreamy slow-motion shots to electric reception highlights, Samson made magic. Their photos? Frame-worthy. Their films? Full of emotion and energy. We're talking about goosebumps-level artistry here. Samson's work is a love poem if a picture's worth a thousand words.

The bridal glow? Unmatched. With Glamorized by Penny Kohli handling hair, makeup, and mehndi, Prutha was a vision of radiance from sunrise to starlight. Her look was effortlessly regal, and her mehndi design was the kind that makes you pause your scroll to zoom in. Penny's artistry highlighted Prutha's features and made them unforgettable. When it was time to party, the ballroom was transformed into a wonderland of lights, music, and cake (yes, we have thoughts on that cake!). With Manohar's Delhi Palace serving up a feast and A Piece of Cake by Pavani dazzling taste buds, guests were in for a culinary joyride.

But let's not skip over the entertainment. Dhamaka Productions had the dance floor lit—every auntie, uncle, cousin, and college friend dancing like nobody was watching (except, of course, Samson's cameras). And just when you thought it couldn't get better, Shambhu Drums & Live Sound brought the house down with live tabla beats that added an electrifying desi twist to the DJ mix. Cue goosebumps.

Prutha & Sam's wedding was a celebration of love that was bold, beautiful, and deeply meaningful. From beginning to end, every moment sparkled—thanks to an all-star team of vendors and one incredible couple whose love lit up the entire coast.

A perfect fusion of traditional Indian elements with modern elegance and a whole lot of personality.
