Meet Sanjana and Chris
*From NY to our Californian haven, this tale is one of laughter, shared dreams and the magic that happens when two souls find each other in the most unexpected places.*
Our story began in New York City — our city of love. We met through work and it wasn’t long before our friendly banter quickly turned into something more; weekly movie nights, laughter-filled hikes, and a mutual passion for chasing sunsets. His cheeky jokes and themed shirts brought smiles to my face, while my sweetness and adventurous spirit as he says, captivated him.
The more time we spent together, the more we knew we were deeply in love. We soon moved to picturesque California and bought our beautiful home together. We promise that we will love and laugh together. To celebrate together. And that we would be each other's strength.
And the rest is history! Our story is a beautiful tapestry woven with threads of two distinct cultures – rich heritage of India and the vibrancy of the United States.

From The Couple:
Our wedding took place on April 23, 2023. Chris and I held tight to our vision of a wedding that celebrated our love intimately, surrounded by our closest family and friends. Our shared passion for the outdoors inspired us to create a day that mirrored that very sentiment. With Sonoma's enchanting garden winery and serene waters as our backdrop, we knew we'd found the perfect setting. Our wedding vision was all about simplicity, modernity, and a whole lot of fun!
For the Mehendi, the dream was to have a boho pastel vibe. It was all about creating an environment where laughter, music, and games like cornhole and jenga would bring everyone together. As for the Haldi, yellow became the color of joy and vibrancy, setting the tone for a day filled with boundless happiness.
Our wedding day itself unfolded as we had imagined - an elegant outdoor affair, simple yet modern. The picturesque Sonoma winery vistas were perfectly complemented by our choice of floral decor and lush greenery, creating a minimalist beauty that seamlessly blended with the surroundings. This was our day, a true reflection of our love story and the beginning of a new chapter amid the beauty of nature and the warmth of cherished moments.
