Chiranjeev and Niharika took their North Indian wedding outdoors at Hyatt Centric Hebbal, and the day more than repaid them for it. The haldi and cocktail ran through the evening, full of colour, music and family, and even their pet turned up dressed for the occasion. The next morning, in open sunlight, they married in front of only their closest people and looked every bit like celebrities. They had a move all their own too: the two of them clasping hands and throwing them up into the air, again and again, pure joy every time. This was a wedding of beautiful moments, beautiful light and beautiful people, which is really all a wedding needs to be.
