Engagement

An engagement photoshoot is something
you will cherish for the rest of your life.
The Photos you place on your mantle will
be a memory of a moment in time when you
and your beau were happiest.
Ideas for your
Engagement Shoot
Urban: Find a spot in the city that is filled
with graffiti. This can serve as an interesting
backdrop for ultra trendy photos.
Underwater: Perfect for an ultra modern,
timeless and weightless look.
Themed: Try “Mad Men”, “80’s Prom”,
“1920’s Vintage”, “Super Heros” Really
anything works! The best way to pull this off
is through costumes, a few props and the
location (which I am sure your photographer
can help with).

“I absolutely loved our decor, and,
my obsession with cirque du soleil
was brought to life with the aerialist
which was amazing.” 54
our inspiration
We really wanted to go for a modern,
clean and dramatic look. Our ceremony
was colourful with an edgy feel, which
was captured perfectly with the
plexiglass mandap and ice chiavari
chairs. For the reception, we went
for a completely different look with a
contemporary elegant feel.
we loved
The high ceilings and modern look of
the Paramount Event Centre made it
the perfect blank canvas to bring our
contemporary Indian wedding to life.
The elegant lighting and level of service
was phenomenal.
tips & advice to couples
It’s all about the details. It is so important
to spend time on the little things and to
be organized! We were so lucky to have
an amazing wedding planner, Raana from
Sapna Weddings, that worked with us to
make it an absolutely perfect day. {

Midnight
in Paris
It is at the
edge of a petal
that love awaits.
A grand centrepiece, with an abundance of orchids in whites and
whispering soft pinks, is perfectly finished with a crystal draped
manzanita tree. Hydrangeas, sophia roses and cascading pearls, anchor
the setting along with a runner of lush rose petals and romantic
candle light. Exquisite black lace chair backs add a romantic touch.

Pink roses, lace and crystal
invoke romance and provide
a vintage balance to the nontraditional seafoam gown and
bridal party ensembles in this
gorgeous setting.

The Gown
The bride’s seafoam net gown lined with gold
lamé with a crystal and bead encrusted halter
neck bodice is an non traditional choice.
The Suit
The groom’s gray blazer with double-piped lapel
is a sharp look, with a slight vintage edge.
