Tanmaya and Sudeep have the sweetest college romance ever. These two met each other in engineering college in Hubli; they were in the same classroom and their roll numbers were very quite close by. So, one time during freshers week they were randomly paired up to dance together. Tanmaya and Sudeep did such a great job that they bagged the title Mr and Miss Fresher for that batch. That is how their love story started, and the rest is history.

After many years of being together, Tanmaya and Sudeep decided to tie the knot in December 2022. They had four main events. The first was the sangeet, which was Tanmaya’s favourite event because they are both great dancers. And of course, they met each other due to a dance performance. So, to make the most of their sangeet Tanmaya and Sudeep performed on their favourite songs, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Rafta Rafta X Sona Sona Medly and Thumkeshwari . And the best part was that all their friends and family were just as excited to perform as these two were. Tanmaya’s dad's finale performance blew everyone away and it was probably Tanmaya’s favourite memory ever. Tanmaya wore a beautiful gold and black lehenga from Vani Vats while Sudeep looked dapper in a black kurta pyjama; these two certainly set the floor on fire.

The next day was the phool muddi and haldi. As luck had it, the haldi set up was outside and it turned out to be a cloudy day. So the weather was great, the outdoor event was cool – literally and metaphorically, and everything went as planned. For phool muddi, Tanmaya wore a stunning coral and yellow saree while Sudeep complemented her in a white kurta set with a chic embroidered waistcoat. For the haldi ceremony, Tanmaya changed into an all-white outfit and the couple looked adorable while twinning in white.

After that, Tanmaya and Sudeep had their reception. A typical big fat Indian wedding reception indeed; they invited all their extended family, friends, relatives and loved ones and had a huge event! Tanmaya looked gorgeous in this exquisite blue saare while Sudeep made heads turn in a royal blue three-piece suit. From the fireworks to the stage, from the flowers to the décor, everything was just perfect. As Tanmaya said, “The entire wedding planning process was fun and adventurous. Nothing goes as planned and that's the best part.” But, all’s well that ends well!

Finally came the wedding day. Tanmaya looked breathtaking in a traditional saare and she covered her head with a matching dupatta which just elevated her look to a whole other level. Sudeep looked as good as ever in a classic ivory sherwani. Everything went on beautifully and we managed to get some of the cutest candids of the couple during the wedding ceremony. Once the wedding ceremony was over, Tanmaya and Sudeep mingled with their family and friends and just had a great time. Tanmaya recalls, “My wedding was so beautiful and so memorable. Sudeep and I danced at every event, which is what I loved the most. Also, we could see that our friends and family were enjoying the events, which made us feel even happier. I could not have asked for a better wedding!”

We managed to get so many great photographs of the couple, especially some great candids. We were very pleased with the final result, but of course, we wanted to know what Tanmaya and Sudeep had to say. Tanmaya sent us some great feedback saying, “My experience with the team was great. Every individual on the team was so professional and overall they were such a fun bunch. We spent a lot of time laughing with them and for us, the photoshoots were the least stressful part of the wedding. We just loved the team!” We just had one more question for Tanmaya, what made her choose us? She said, “I researched a lot of wedding photographers and videographers online and spoke to them. My sister spent months watching wedding videos on Youtube and going through Instagram wedding photographers' portfolios. When she came across your page, Lightbucket Productions, she felt your pictures were very unique and not the typical wedding photographs that you see everywhere else. In fact, what sealed the deal for me was not only your work but also your quick response. And, a friend of mine who is a photographer actually recommended Lightbucket Productions to me because of the quality of work; I am so glad I listened.” Now that is definitely the biggest compliment ever!
