From the planner, The Story Book Event: “When culture creates invisible definitions of what a wedding between two people ‘should’ look like, we find that showing that love comes in all forms, styles and traditions presents to the world that love is love, and no one should be scared to be themselves. Our shoot was to showcase the beauty in South Asian culture as well as the union between a same-sex couple.”
