The Grove Hertfordshire Indian Hindu Wedding Photography
Hindu Wedding Reception Photography at The Grove
This beautiful Hindu wedding reception at The Grove in Hertfordshire was the final event of Devin and Puja’s amazing Indian wedding, taking place shortly after the Hindu wedding itself, and was a fitting way to end this amazing wedding celebration.
Following a well needed break after the energetic and emotional Indian wedding ceremony, Devin and Puja made the change into their evening attire to get ready for this impressive reception. We were blessed to have incredible light at this stunning venue, and the Grove in Watford was the perfect location to capture a final few wedding portraits before the couple made their grand entrance into the Amber Suite ballroom, which looked amazing!
The wedding toasts and speeches were made before the couple stepped up for their first dance and then the party really began with fun and dancing long into the night!
