Chapter I

The garden

The bride leads the groom by the hand down garden steps among palms
The bride smiles back over her shoulder, holding the groom's hand
Nose to nose in warm evening light
The couple stand together before tall leaves, the bride's hands folded
The groom holds the bride from behind as she smiles at the camera
Close-up of the groom's hand on the bride's embroidered red sleeve and bangles
Black and white: the couple dance on a lawn by the water

Chapter II

The bride

The bride smiles among tall green leaves in her red lehenga
Portrait of the bride with a maang tikka and nath, mehendi hand at her chin
A laughing close-up of the bride's jewellery, bangles and mehendi
Eyes closed, the bride smiles as she adjusts her nath
The bride looks over her shoulder against large green leaves
Black and white portrait of the bride seated among leaves

Chapter III

Under the veil

Close portrait of the bride under a red veil in golden light
The bride stands against a textured wall, veil over her head
Black and white: the bride under her veil, looking straight at the camera

Chapter IV

The baraat

The groom arrives between torch bearers in red and yellow
The baraat moves through smoke and lights towards the venue
The groom's party dances among the torch bearers at the gate
The groom smiles in a garland and red shawl

Chapter V

Her entry

The bride walks in beneath a canopy held by her family
The canopy and the bride's family under the night lights

The ceremony

The bride looks down and smiles during the rituals
Mehendi hands on a dupatta embroidered with the couple's names in Gujarati and the date 20-2-26
The bride laughs as the groom places a shawl around her
The bride smiles up at the groom during the ceremony
The bride touches the groom's safa as flower petals fall
