Meet Aanya. Aanya is the bride's niece. Like most wedding stories, this one isn't about her, but just look at this face would you? For me, on this day, Aanya was the star.

Getting back to the wedding, I had the pleasure of shooting Soumya & Vinod's beautiful wedding in December, last year, and here are some photos shot by me with Shuchi Kapoor and Lakshmi Jagan.
