They’d roll their eyes, look the other way, and let out deep, long sighs if the other was present. They couldn’t stand to be in the same room together. Yes, “they” are Abhishek and Payal – the now beautifully married couple. You’d never guess that two people, so obviously meant for one another, loathed each other at the start.

They say it was their passion for music that ultimately pulled them together and never let them turn back. And anyone that knows the two, would probably agree. Abhi and Payal are a creative powerhouse. They’re into graphic design, culture, music, filming, and art – but it’s the “doctor by day, filmmaker by night” persona that we just love, love, love about Abhi. They’re dream chasers, and we can’t wait to see where life takes these two!

Payal came to Chicago from the UK in her teens, and has grown into such a stunning woman. Her soft-spoken words almost cast a spell over Abhi, and the two together, just. make. sense.

We photographed Abhi and Payal’s engagement photos and massive engagement party in New York almost two years ago. It was wonderful to see the families reunited again, celebrating at full force. WE LOOOOOVE YOU and your families, and are so grateful to call you FRIENDS!!

ALL of the garments and jewelry came straight from India.

I could not have been more enthralled with Payal.

What an incredibly stunning bride!!! In love with this. And her.

Abhishek looking amazing in his custom made sherwani!

He was super legit with that sword.

Their precious puppy, Pepsi, came along for the celebrations! Tuxedo and all!
