The weather was perfect at this log cabin wedding where Lisa & Arjun exchanged their vows to one another. The ceremony was beautiful as the venue overlooked the beautiful city, and the view of the Golden Gate Bridge was just behind the guests as a beautiful backdrop for this cherished moment. Lisa & Arjun celebrated their traditional Indian wedding in India in June, and on Sunday they followed it up with their celebration of love in America. They still incorporated various Indian traditions in this wedding in San Francisco, where the bridesmaids and groomsmen wore traditional Indian garments. 

In this ceremony, Lisa and Arjun participated in what is called the Satphere which is an Indian tradition where the bride and groom walk around a circle of fire seven times. Each circle around the fire symbolizing a distinct vow. Circuit one symbolizes nourishment and food, circuit two symbolizes health and prosperity and circuit three is a prayer to God for wealth. Circuit four is a prayer for increase in love and respect and in circuit five, the couple pray for beautiful and noble children. Circuit six symbolizes the holy round in which the couple ask God for a peaceful life together and the seventh and final circuit, Lisa and Arjun asked God to increase them in companionship and friendship for a lifetime. The ceremony continued with a beautiful reading from Lisa’s paternal grandmother’s bible and Arjun’s mother sang a song from India. I was so happy to capture Lisa and Arjun’s commitment of love. Congrats to the beautiful couple!!
