It’s been too long – way too long – since I’ve featured an Indian wedding on this blog. Honestly, this makes me sad, and ashamed that I haven’t tried harder. (Reaching out and asking for weddings can feel a little pushy, and I’m shy!) Because the love and ceremony and spirituality of Asian weddings gets my heart every time. The sparkle, the joy, the traditions are all things I love. So before I share Colleen and AJ’s day, a plea: if you’re planning your own Indian wedding, please consider sharing it with us! If you’re a wedding photographer and you’ve captured an Asian wedding this year, get in touch! I’d LOVE to feature more celebrations like this!

Colleen and AJ’s wedding was not just a union of two individuals, but a beautiful amalgamation of traditions, families, and love stories, all captured through the lens of Nicole Chan Photography.

Their wedding was a radiant celebration of love, culture, and community, set against the timeless elegance of the Boston Park Plaza. The couple’s multi-day festivities seamlessly blended South Asian traditions with modern sophistication, creating an unforgettable experience for all who attended.

The celebration commenced with a vibrant mehndi night at Granite Links Country Club. Under the warm glow of string lights, guests were immersed in a kaleidoscope of colors, music, and flavors. Henna artist @hennacafe_designs adorned hands with intricate designs, while dancers from Boston Bollywood energized the evening with captivating performances. Colleen’s ensemble featured a rich, jewel-toned lehenga complemented by flawless makeup from @natalieshafiemakeup and a chic hairstyle by @sweetstylesbyjenna.

The following day, the grandeur of the Boston Park Plaza set the stage for their wedding ceremony. The venue’s historic charm was enhanced by @oluxedesign’s exquisite floral arrangements and drapery by Anju Pathak, creating a romantic ambiance. AJ’s arrival on a majestic horse from New Deal Horse & Carriage was a nod to traditional baraat processions, accompanied by lively beats from @teambsl.

The ceremony, officiated by Pandit Mohinder Singh, was a heartfelt blend of rituals and personal vows, symbolizing the union of two souls and their families.

As evening descended, the celebration transitioned into a lively reception. The ballroom shimmered with elegant décor, featuring Chiavari chairs from Tanvi Rana and ambient lighting by @teambsl. Guests indulged in a culinary journey with delectable dishes from Punjabi Grill and Indian Accent, and sweet treats from Shivam Paan in Nashua. Live music by @ripcordmusic kept the dance floor alive, ensuring memories were made that would last a lifetime.
