Book your wedding story

Rutuja & Darshan

A once-in-a-lifetime wedding, where three countries met and tied the knot

 

Some couples are calm and minimal.
Rutuja and Darshan? They were full of energy, color, and emotion — the kind that fills a room and a frame.

From the very first call, they were clear with us:

“We want this to be real, rooted in tradition, and full of emotion. Not just for us, but for our families too.”

They didn’t want a templated wedding. They wanted to live every ritual, feel every moment, and preserve it exactly the way it happened — raw, unfiltered, and beautiful.

Their wedding was a true celebration of Maharashtrian culture — from the nath to the mundavalya, from the bhondla songs to the lavni beats during sangeet. Every function was planned with love and celebrated with heart.

The wedding  was wild — colors everywhere, laughter echoing through the air. The wedding  turned into a full-blown party, with even the elders shaking a leg. And the wedding day? Absolutely surreal. Draped in tradition, surrounded by family, and glowing with joy, Rutuja looked like a dream in her paithani. Darshan stood tall and proud, eyes fixed on her like no one else existed.

But what made this couple stand out was their comfort with each other — and in front of our lens. They never posed. They just felt. Whether it was the shy glances, the goofy inside jokes, or the tears during the vidaai — every shot we captured felt like a page from their real-life love story.

Even in the chaos of a big fat wedding, they carried a certain calm — always present, always real.

We didn’t just document their wedding — we witnessed a bond that was rooted in tradition and bloomed with modern love.

For us at Equifo, Rutuja & Darshan’s wedding wasn’t just another project.
It was a reminder of why we do what we do — to capture love in its most authentic form.

How equifo got the part?

One day, we got a call from Rutuja.

“Hey, are you available on this date?”

Truth be told, we were already packed with bookings around that time — but something about her energy, her warmth, made us curious. So we made it work.

And we’re so glad we did.

When we finally met Rutuja and Darshan, we were honestly blown away. The level of planning, detail, and thought they had already put into the wedding was incredible. Every single element — from outfits to rituals, decor to timing — was sorted. It was clear they weren’t just throwing a wedding. They were crafting a moment that would last a lifetime.

When we sat down to talk about the photography and filmmaking style they envisioned, it felt less like a briefing and more like a creative exchange. They knew what they wanted, and they trusted us to make it happen.

Since everything was already so well-organized, we didn’t have to spend time chasing logistics. That gave us the freedom to focus purely on the moments — to move around freely, capture every smile, every tear, every unexpected laugh. The result? Some of the most natural, storytelling-rich images we’ve ever created.

And the best part?

They loved our work — the way we saw their story through our lens, the moments we captured, and the calmness we brought to the chaos.

Rutuja and Darshan didn’t just choose Equifo.
They made us feel like part of their journey — and that’s what made this wedding so memorable for us too.
