Weddings

Marinna and Rahul’s wedding journey began in India, where they exchanged vows in a traditional ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends. To continue the celebration with loved ones in the U.S., they hosted a formal reception at Kirkbrae Country Club in Lincoln, Rhode Island — and what a stunning evening it was!

The energy for the night was all about joy and connection. With a dreamy light blue and white color palette, the ballroom felt light, romantic, and effortlessly elegant. Kirkbrae provided the perfect setting — refined, yet warm and inviting. One of the most unforgettable design elements of the evening was a grand floral installation that served as both a gorgeous portrait backdrop and a focal point for the celebration. It was lush, expansive, and truly breathtaking.

Marinna wore a striking deep blue traditional outfit — timeless, elegant, and full of personality. Rahul complemented her perfectly in a classic black ensemble, and together, they were a vision. Throughout the night, they thoughtfully honored the cultural traditions that meant the most to them, creating an atmosphere filled with love, meaning, and celebration.

From heartfelt speeches to high-energy dancing, the evening was packed with sweet, candid moments. The dance floor was never empty, and it was so special to see Marinna and Rahul’s family and friends come together in such a joyful way. Even though their wedding ceremony took place overseas, this reception carried all the excitement and magic of a full celebration.

Capturing this day and being part of their story was a true honor.
