We had so much fun being a part of Daniela and Rishi’s incredible multi-day wedding celebration! The festivities kicked off at a stunning private estate, where the intimate sangeet and traditional Indian rituals were held. Vibrant colors, lively music, and heartfelt moments filled the air as friends and family came together to celebrate. The celebration continued at The State Room in Massachusetts, where the elegant reception brought everyone together with breathtaking city views, a fantastic dance party, and heartfelt toasts. It was a joy to capture every moment of this joyful, multi-day celebration!

Indian Wedding Ceremony

Daniela and Rishi’s traditional Indian wedding ceremony took place at a private estate in Massachusetts.

The day began with the Baraat, where the groom arrived in a procession filled with music, dancing, and joy, as guests and family members led the way. The Mandap, beautifully adorned with marigold garlands, rich fabrics, and mums, became the centerpiece of the event, where the couple participated in sacred Hindu rituals such as the Saptapadi (seven steps) and the exchange of garlands.

Orthodox Ceremony + Reception

The following day was equally magical, beginning with Daniella and Rishi getting ready at the stunning Langham Hotel. Its tall windows and timeless vibe made for the perfect backdrop as they prepared for their day. The couple shared their first look at Post Office Square. We captured those sweet, intimate moments as the two privately exchanged their wedding vows.

Next, we headed to the breathtaking Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church for their ceremony. The church’s intricate details and beautiful iconography felt very classic. After their beautiful ceremony and a bubble exit, we explored some of Boston’s most iconic locations for couple portraits. Midway through, we took a quick break to satisfy the bride's sushi craving—a fun and spontaneous moment that added a touch of personality to the day (plus the sushi was phenomenal.)

As the sun began to set, we arrived at The State Room for their reception, and our jaws truly dropped at the sight of the sleek, modern details and breathtaking florals that transformed the space. The view from the venue, overlooking the glittering city skyline, is always unbeatable! The couple made their grand entrance, and the celebration kicked into high gear with a lively dance floor, where they and their guests danced the night away, celebrating their love with laughter, joy, and energy.
