Minal and Drew wanted to get married in 2020 no matter what. After finding out their multi-day wedding plans were no longer possible, they waited patiently before coming up with Plan B. Once a new date was chosen, however, it was time to jump start the festivities!

Nine days before tying the knot, I met these two downtown for a stunning pre-wedding session in their Indian wedding clothes. Minal and Drew's wedding plans no longer included an outfit change, so they were thrilled to have some photos in their formal wear. The previous year, they had traveled to India and chosen these outfits together! I'm so happy we were able to incorporate them in a meaningful way.

These two were all smiles and such a joy to have in front of the camera!
