A lakeside weekend

Two families from two continents, a guest list that kept growing and a request for everything to feel calm. The weekend moved between a haveli in the old city and a palace on the water.

Candlelit welcome dinner beside the lake at dusk
Welcome dinner

Long tables on a lakeside terrace, a menu split between Rajasthani and Goan dishes, and no speeches until dessert.

Mehendi

A haveli courtyard, floor cushions, dholak and three mehendi artists working through the afternoon.

The couple's hands held together over the sacred fire during the pheras
Pheras

Timed to sunset on the palace terrace, with every elder seated close enough to hear the priest.
