A Stylish Indian Wedding in Virginia

Photo by

We love the way this Virginia couple blended eastern and western cultures for their April wedding. The groom arrived on horseback in traditional Indian attire, and the bride wore a red and gold sari. At the reception, the couple changed into a white dress and black tux for a night of dancing with their family and friends. The result: amazing photos of an amazing wedding!
