St Francis Hall Wedding : Laura and Priyesh

May 26

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”—Theodore Roosevelt

Laura and Priyesh love each other wholeheartedly, and they celebrated their union with complete joy. They were lovely from the first moment of my interaction with them, and the wedding was nothing less than amazing. They were married in a traditional Hindu ceremony at the Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Lanham, MD and then again in Christian ceremony on the lawn of their reception venue- St. Francis Hall. The two brought together their cultures of India and South Carolina and paid tribute to both in details throughout the wedding day. The site of their first meeting - Sixth Engine Bar in DC - was a perfect pitstop for their wedding party and a chance to get a drink and take some photos. Hope you enjoy these photos and congratulations to Laura and Priyesh!
