A lovely Ismaili wedding is here to brighten our day, Maharanis! A&A Video Productions brings us a high school sweethearts love story in a series of images that are absolutely adorable! Our Maharani Sana started getting ready for the long-awaited day and in no time Ms. Painted Lady magnified our bride's natural beauty and was ready to surprise Raja Rahim in a romantic first look session. Maharani Sana was looking heavenly in a white saree with beautiful embroidery work next to her prince charming Rahim, and in our bride's own words, this moment was extra special: "Once we were both ready, it was time for our first look. When I was in India, I had shown Rahim every outfit I was purchasing for both of us except for my Nikkah saree. I wanted that to be a total surprise for him, so seeing his face during our first look will always be one of my favorite memories." Our lovebirds then tied the knot in a private and memorable ceremony at the Dallas HQ Jamatkhana & Ismaili Center and later continued with the traditional khoba khobi rituals surrounded by their loved ones. Join me in our full gallery for all the deets!

Follow me in our next feature for all the details of their bash!

Part two is here, ladies, and we know you had been waiting! After an incredible outdoor ceremony, it was about time to head down to the CityView at Metreon for the reception, and trust us, maharanis, what a reception that was! For that, our dazzling bride Ambika wore a champagne/coral lengha with details of teal. We are just loving the combination of colors chosen. It almost seemed like the color of the sky and the amazing view were made to match her! If there was any doubt that a true Maharani was getting married, well... there is no doubt anymore. Our dear friends from TM's Makeup Artistry worked their well-known magic and assisted the bride with her hair and makeup. She was flawless! Our lucky groom Vikas was also looking neat. He was rocking this contemporary navy blue sherwani that made him look both traditional and modern at the same time. This couple had some style, I can tell you that. We are certain that this feature will shine a light on some ideas for your great bash, let's peruse through our full gallery by Wedding Documentary Photo + Cinema!  

Stick around from more glam and charm from our lovebirds!
