An Intimate Hindu Wedding at The Kensington Hotel in Ann Arbor

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, but the common thread is always love, family, and tradition. We recently had the honor of photographing a Hindu wedding in Ann Arbor, Michigan at The Kensington Hotel, and it was a perfect example of how a small wedding can still feel incredibly powerful.

A Beautifully Intimate Celebration

With fewer than 50 guests, this wedding felt deeply personal from the very beginning. Every person present was an important part of the couple’s story, and that closeness made the day feel warm and connected. There was no sense of distance — just families and friends gathered together in genuine joy.

Tradition and Meaning

The ceremony was a poignant joining of two families. Each ritual carried deep meaning, and as the couple moved through the traditions, it was clear they were surrounded by love and support. Even with the intimate size of the gathering, the ceremony had a presence and weight that was unforgettable.

Style and Elegance

The couple themselves were radiant. They were dressed in beautiful attire that reflected both tradition and personal style, and photographing them was an absolute joy. From quiet moments of preparation to the vibrance of the ceremony, every image carried both elegance and authenticity.

A Venue that Felt Just Right

The Kensington Hotel in Ann Arbor provided the perfect backdrop for this kind of celebration. Its spaces felt welcoming yet refined, allowing the couple and their guests to focus on what mattered most: being fully present in the moment.

A Day to Remember

This wedding reminded us that size doesn’t define the impact of a celebration. With under 50 guests, the day still felt full, rich, and meaningful. What stood out most was the kindness of the couple, the love of their families, and the blending of traditions that made the day so special.
