A short wedding story:
A Swipe That Changed Everything In the heart of San Francisco, fate worked its magic through a single swipe. Encouraged by friends, both Akinchita and Akshar joined Bumble, never expecting that one match would change their lives forever. When Akinchita saw Akshar’s profile, she was immediately drawn to his love for travel—a passion that mirrored her own. Their first date was supposed to be a casual meet-up, but from the moment they sat down, time seemed to disappear. The more they talked, the more they realized how seamlessly their lives fit together. What started as a quick dinner turned into an eight hour conversation filled with laughter, shared dreams, and an undeniable connection.
The Proposal: A Dream Turned Reality
Travel had always been at the heart of their relationship, so it was only fitting that Akshar chose a breathtaking destination to ask the most important question. On December 11, 2022, during a trip to Morocco and Portugal places they had long dreamed of exploring together he planned the perfect moment in Porto. As they stood near the Dom Luis I Bridge, surrounded by the beauty of the city, Akshar got down on one knee.
A Picture-Perfect Celebration
In the lead-up to their wedding, Akinchita and Akshar wanted a pre-wedding photoshoot that reflected their love story one that blended heritage with modernity. Set against desert landscape of Palm Springs, their shoot incorporated both Western and South Asian influences. In one look, Akinchita wore a flowing saree, embodying old-world elegance, while in another, the couple embraced a contemporary aesthetic with a classic vintage car, creating a striking contrast between tradition and modernity.

More than just capturing beautiful images, they wanted to evoke feelings of nostalgia, adventure, and the excitement of embarking on a lifetime together. Now, they’re ready for their biggest adventure yet celebrating their love with a wedding that reflects their journey, their shared passions, and the moment that started it all.
