Samantha & Niraj's Real Wedding by Joshua Komanapalli

 

Bride & Groom: Samantha, chef/sales executive, and Niraj, stockbroker

Length of engagement: 6 months

Wedding date: 6th January 2012

Wedding ceremony: Jai Mahal Palace, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Wedding reception: SMS Rambagh Convention Center, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Wedding photographer: Joshua Komanapalli & Andrew Adams

Wedding theme/colours: Sangeet = Rajasthani village theme – fuschia/orange/yellow, Wedding = royal Indian wedding – red/gold/cream, Reception – purple/white

Wedding dress by: Wedding lehenga = Ritu Kumar, sangeet & reception lehengas = Swetesh&Suveera (Mumbai-based designer)

First dance song: we didn’t end up doing a first dance as we decided on an outdoor reception. The original plan (had we done it indoors) was to have my nephew sing Only You by Joshua Radin & have that be our first dance.

Your favourite wedding story: Gosh, so many! We started the festivities by landing in Jaipur only to find that my luggage was lost… the one suitcase with my wedding lehenga, shoes, chudis, etc! Luckily, it was found & delivered later that night – phew! Despite that and some other slight hiccups, the best thing for us was that all of our 200 guests had a great time across the 3 days. Everyone still raves about the DJ, the dancing, the food, the drinks, the décor, the photos, videos… so we couldn’t be happier! It’s always a true joy to relive every moment through the gorgeous photos by Josh and Andrew – and to see all our family and friends dancing up a storm through the amazing videos Josh’s team created!
