What do you get when two dentists fall in love at USC, have a private wedding in Texas, then throw an unforgettable reception in Aspen with family flying in all the way from Mumbai? Well, folks, you get Kanchan and Azhar’s wedding reception, and let me tell you—it was 🤌🏻 perfect.
The venue? The stunning Aspen Meadows Resort, nestled among the jaw-dropping Rockies at the Walter Isaacson Center. Now, if you’ve never been to Aspen in September, imagine crisp mountain air, leaves just starting to turn golden, and a backdrop that makes you question if Mother Nature herself has a side gig in landscape design. Naturally, it was the ideal setting for Kanchan and Azhar to celebrate their love story.
The couple, originally from India, were 🔥 fire 🔥 with their traditional garb. I mean, swoon—the colors, the details, the textures. Me and my camera had zero complaints. After they got ready, surrounded by close family and friends, we hit the venue grounds for portraits. Between the lush greenery and the stunning architecture, I was like a kid in a candy store, snapping away while Kanchan and Azhar looked like absolute royalty.
And then came the toasts. I’ll be honest—wedding speeches can be a bit of a gamble. You never know if you’re in for an emotional rollercoaster or an awkward overshare (if you know, you know). But Kanchan and Azhar’s friends and family nailed it. We had tear-jerker moments, hilarious anecdotes, and enough warmth and love to make even the grumpiest uncle cry.
Once the formalities were out of the way, it was time for the real fun. The dance floor opened, and it was a wild, heart-thumping mix of American and Indian pop hits that kept everyone on their feet. From Bollywood bangers to Beyoncé, the dance floor was electric—and trust me, I’ve seen my fair share of parties. This one was next-level.
If you’re ever wondering what happens when you mix family from Mumbai, stunning Indian wedding attire, Aspen’s natural beauty, and one hell of a DJ, it’s this: pure magic.
