Multicultural Wedding at The Corcoran

Sam Arora & Jaime Bugaski married in DC // Photos by Ampersand PhotographySam & Jaime. I loved this wedding. I met and became friends with both of them before they met each other, and it has been such a joy to document so many parts of their story— hiding behind a tree in a snowstorm to document Sam’s proposal, photographing and dancing with Sam’s Indian family during their engagement party, and then their wedding.

It was a perfect day. Jaime got up early to go for a run and make muffins before her bridesmaids arrived at her apartment to get ready. They talked and chatted throughout the morning, and had their own miniature dance party as soon as Jaime donned her dress. Sam was his usual self that morning, thoughtful about serious things and treating everything else with a generous dose of sarcastic humor. Their ceremony was sweet and meaningful, ending with the 30 Rock theme song as their recessional. We did wedding party portraits near the Capitol, and then Sam & Jaime requested portraits in the Metro, which was so much fun. Their reception was at The Corcoran Gallery of Art, where guests laughed and dined and danced the night away. 

The following vendors made the day perfect:
