Chayak & Mayank – Intimate Delhi Wedding

Just before their Delhi Wedding, we asked Chaya and Mayank what they thought about love, Chaya said “When you’re looking for someone, look for a fireplace, not a firecracker”. I think that pretty much sums up the chemistry we felt between these two, loads of love, warmth and togetherness… just like a fireplace.

Chaya and Mayank had a lovely intimate Delhi Wedding at The Roseate, New Delhi. Here’s a short story from the two days we spent with them.

Pre Wedding

Their pre-wedding session at The Roseate felt less like a photoshoot and more like an afternoon spent in their bubble of joy. Barefoot on the grass, wrapped up in each other’s arms, and glowing in the golden sunlight—Chaya and Mayank gave us moments that were as organic as they were cinematic.

There’s a certain stillness to their love, the kind that doesn’t need grand gestures or orchestrated drama. Just stolen glances, soft whispers, and that unmistakable comfort of being home in each other’s presence. From quiet cuddles under the trees to playful laughter echoing through the gardens, this session was all heart.

We didn’t need to direct much. They just… were. And it was beautiful to witness.

Engagement

A small family affair, Chaya and Mayank exchanged rings to cement their promises to each other. Quiet, intimate and soulful, this was a great start to their delhi wedding.

Cocktail and Sangeet

The cocktail evening at Khubani was nothing short of a dream dipped in crimson and sparkle.

Chaya looked like she’d stepped out of a vintage film—regal, radiant, and wrapped in that perfect wine-red shimmer. And Mayank? Calm, collected, and so clearly smitten. Their quiet confidence and style set the tone for the night.

The evening began with elegance—an entrance down the grand staircase, warm welcomes, clinking glasses. But it wasn’t long before the mood shifted. With the chandeliers casting a soft glow and the music picking up, the night turned into a full-blown celebration. From emotional toasts and high-energy performances to that final, euphoric dance floor frenzy—it was everything a sangeet should be. Dramatic. Intimate. Unforgettable.

Chaya and Mayank didn’t just throw a party—they created a moment in time. One that shimmered, sparkled, and stayed with everyone lucky enough to be there.

Wedding Day

The wedding day began with an easy calm.

Mayank got dressed in his all-ivory look, laughing and chatting with his sisters as the morning light poured into the room. There was no rush, no stress—just a sense of quiet anticipation and happiness. He looked sharp, but more importantly, completely at ease.

Chaya’s portraits were simple, elegant, and full of poise. In her intricately embroidered lehenga, surrounded by flowers in muted reds and soft creams, she carried herself with a kind of understated grace. She didn’t need to do much—she just stood there, and the frame came alive.

There was a quiet kind of beauty to those hours before the ceremony. Nothing dramatic. Just two people getting ready to marry their best friend.

The final day unfolded with celebration, colour, and quiet emotion in equal measure.

Mayank’s baarat was nothing short of a party — with rose petals in the air, dhols echoing down the road, and the groom dancing with his entire heart. His friends and family matched his energy step for step, laughing, cheering, and pulling him into impromptu moves.

Chaya made her bridal entry beneath a stunning floral canopy, surrounded by the warmth of her closest people. There was something calm and powerful in the way she walked in — with grace, a little smile, and those classic red choodas that stood out against her ivory lehenga.

There were tears. There was laughter. There was love — the kind that doesn’t need big declarations. Just two people who get each other.
