We started out in Northport, NY - had a fun journey down main street on a very, very windy day.. Did I mention it was probably one of the coldest days in a while. The wedding party bundled up for a bit and then ran out to do their photos.
Laura and Chirag met up before the ceremony near the marina, we then walked down to main street -then had double ceremonies! Hindu and a Catholic..
Designers
Chirag’s tuxedo was Calvin Klein
Laura’s dress was Priscilla of Boston
Vendors
Hindu Priest- Mr. Nikhil Trivedi
Laura and Chirag described their most favorite part…
“The very best part of our wedding day was the incredible heartwarming feeling you have when you see so many friends and family in the same room for the same purpose.
They traveled from all over the country and world to celebrate the love that Chirag and I share as we begin this new chapter of life together. It was essential for us to incorporate traditions from both of our backgrounds and to celebrate the ritual of marriage from both religious perspectives. Initially it seemed like an impossible task to pull off two ceremonies in two locations in a matter of hours. Yet every single vendor worked so hard to assure us it was possible. I’m so glad we were able to make it happen! Exposing our guests to the beautiful elements of the Hindu culture was worth all of the preparations.
Without the very patient staff of NYIT de Seversky Mansion, our incredible florist Diana from Petals, the insanely fun and talented Tim from DJ’s @ Work, the gentlemen of Kalash Decor, our brilliant Hindu priest, our incredibly supportive families and last but not least- the team from Laura Ryan Photography, it would not have been possible. If only we could go back and do it all over again….”
we found this awesome store on main street that allowed us so nicely to use as a backdrop for our photos …
