Raisa and Eric's two day wedding event began with a traditional Sangeet at a Country Club in Northern Virginia. The family gathered for family photos and the couple snuck off for a few portraits before the main events of the evening. The next day was an explosion of color and love. Eric's baraat led him to Raisa's family where strict negotiations gave way to welcoming hugs as the family gathered for the ceremony. The couple entered the elegant ballroom at Lansdown Resort and opened their ceremony with a dance on a cloud with cold sparks adding to the magic of the moment. Throughout the ceremony, smiles and tears were in equal measure and the evening concluded with a sparkler send-off. Photographed for Julia Summers Photography.
