Indian Wedding Ceremony at Annenberg Beach House, Santa Monica | Melissa + Aaron

Melissa and Aaron's wedding at the Annenberg Beach Club in Santa Monica was a celebration of love and cultural fusion, as they meticulously planned every detail themselves, infusing their special day with personal touches and meaningful moments. The couple chose the stunning beachside venue for its picturesque views and relaxed atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for their joyous union. Being from New Jersey, this venue was a great destination for their out-of-town guests.

This wedding did not come without trials. Originally scheduled to take place in 2021, they went through multiple reschedules, cancellations, and changes of plans as the couple navigated beginning their medical careers just as the pandemic hit. Their wedding was originally slated to be held at Bel Air Bay Club in the Pacific Palisades, but after Melissa tested positive for the virus just days before the wedding date in 2022, they were forced to cancel and shift everything to a new venue on a new date in a new year.

The highlight of their wedding day was the Indian ceremony, celebrating Aaron’s hindu background. The couple had already gotten legally married (because honestly, who could wait the extra years to get married?!), so this ceremony was a great way to still have, well, a wedding ceremony! without needing all the rites of a typical American wedding. And they looked absolutely gorgeous, despite the fine misting the weather was giving us.

Congratulations to A+M on their long-awaited wedding celebration. It was such a pleasure to walk this road with them!
