After twenty-three years, they were finally wed. For most of the day, a light and excited happiness permeated everyone’s spirits.

A look of disbelief passed between them. Happy, this-is-surreal disbelief, but disbelief nonetheless. It might have been the five years that have passed since they first fell in love and got engaged. They never thought it could happen, especially since they lived in Texas. Or it might have been the entire day of being pampered…

The final day of Anika and Vijay’s wedding may well have been the most spectacular of the three, which is no small feat when you look back on it all. Our day started with a tour of Jaisalmer, and then we came back for the Baraat, which did indeed include Vijay riding in on an…

A mile up the road from the lodge, we made the right turn. We wound down a short gravel road as the dust kicked up and painted golden beams of sunlight in the air. At the end of the path, a clearing– a spectacular clearing, with a canyon full of evergreens lit in the background….

It was like we were living in a beautiful fantasy, or more specifically, Anika’s beautiful fantasy. Even now, as I look back on these photographs, it feels like a dream, too incredible for reality. I had photographed Anika and Vijay’s unique and very sweet proposal last year, but for their wedding, they gave me the…
