As our regular followers know, we’ve traveled far and wide shooting destination weddings this season – but it all goes back to Svetlana and Melvin.  They invited us to film their two-day wedding weekend in Richmond, Virginia and, after a year of planning, the weekend finally arrived!

Friday kicked off the celebration with a sangeet at The Manor House at Kings Charter, and Saturday morning featured a baraat, anand karaj, and langar (that’s a groom’s parade, wedding ceremony and lunch to the uninitiated).  Saturday evening saw the newlyweds tie the knot again in a Christian ceremony at Castle Hill Cider with a reception to follow surrounded by all their family and friends.

Take a look at this sneak peek of Svetlana and Melvin’s cinematic wedding film!
