We had an amazing time filming Ridhima + Atul’s 2-day Indian wedding. Our coverage started in Champaign, Illinois; where Ridhima and Atul first met while attending The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We walked around campus and the Japanese Gardens to film various scenes. The night concluded with a Mehndi and Sangeet party at Refinery.

We edited the footage from that day and showed it the next day at their reception. We love doing Same Day Edit/Next Day Edits because we get to see everyone’s reaction to our work. You can watch that video here and see the couple’s reaction:

Ridhima + Atul’s wedding day was nothing short of EPIC. Their Hindu Wedding took place at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Their majestic fabric-draped mandap sat on a brick terrace at the McGinley Pavillion overlooking Evening Island pond. Atul’s baraat with him on a white horse created quite a group of onlookers as they weaved their way through the gardens. The evening’s festivities concluded with a reception and entertainment at the Intercontinental O’Hare.

Ridhima and Atul’s story begins during their college years at the University of Illinois. That’s where they met, and as the story goes, the rest is history. Champaign also happens to be the hometown of the bride, and is where they started their wedding weekend festivities.

Full of emotion, the bride’s parents sat down with us to reminisce about raising Ridhima into the beautiful woman she has become. Her father held back tears as he talked about preparing to give her away to her groom. We also filmed with the couple at the beautiful Japanese Gardens and on the U of I campus in Champaign.

The Sangeet was held at Refinery. A joyful energy was evident from all in attendance at this colorful celebration. Family members performed intricate Indian dance choreography to entertain the couple during the Sangeet. The women were also decorated with Mehendi, a well-known Indian wedding tradition.

This film just tells the first part of Ridhima and Atul’s story. To watch the wedding trailer, which showcases more of this incredible event plus highlights from their Hindu wedding day, CLICK HERE
