Sandhya and Zach were separated by the entire country leading up to their big day. Sandhya was down in San Diego finishing up her residency while Zach was in Brooklyn. They had to communicate through phone, email, and the occasional visit that only happened about once a month!
I felt honored to do the engagement session with them because they had not seen each other in a long time, so it was true romance unfolding. They seized every moment and cherished it. They are both very smart, loving, and caring people. Makes me feel truly blessed for being able to do what I do.
Since the start time of this wedding was about 6:30 am, I decided to stay the night, as we covered another event at the same hotel the night before so it worked out to just stay there and wake up early without doing a 45 minute drive half asleep.
Both the wedding and ceremony were held at Canyon View Dining Hall in San Ramon, a convenient location for Hindu ceremonies where people can go from outside to inside with ease and everything is one place. It’s much easier maneuvering gear at this venue so I like it from a techy perspective. The view is awesome and I saw a big furry jack rabbit on the grounds so that was a nice way to start the day! The people there are super chill and easy to work with as well.
There was a little break to get ready for the reception but they we headed back over to the hall for lots of speeches, performances, dancing and partying. All in all, it was a perfect day and I love the photos below. Thanks for checking them out!
