Palak and Ashish’s wedding at Rengstorff House and Club AutoSport in San Jose

From the very first phone call, when I could sense Palak’s contagious excitement, I knew this was going to be a truly special journey. Meeting Ashish during a virtual consultation shortly after only deepened my gratitude for this profession, which is as much about building lifelong connections as it is about taking photos. When the wedding day arrived, it started with a bit of a drizzle at Shoreline Park near the Rengstorff House, but Ashish quickly dissolved any wedding-day panic, turning nervous energy into pure laughter with his quick wit. That effortless connection made sense, given their history dating back to their college days at NYU; their vibrant, natural chemistry made them an absolute joy to capture through the lens, with every glance and shared joke making my job incredibly easy. After a beautiful ceremony, the celebration moved to Club AutoSport in San Jose, culminating in an amazing, high-energy dance party where the pure joy of the newlyweds surrounded by their favorite people was unforgettable to witness.
