Durham, NC Indian Wedding at the Cookery

Part two of Sarah & Anirudh’s wedding was an NC Indian wedding ceremony at the Cookery in Durham. You might remember these two gorgeous souls from their intimate wedding last year. This year, they finally got to celebrate with the rest of their guest list and have the Hindu wedding ceremony to round out last year’s western ceremony.

Check out some highlights from their North Carolina Hindu wedding ceremony and epic dance party.

After their first look overlooking the American Tobacco Campus, we ran around downtown Durham for some portraits before heading to the Cookery for the baraat and ceremony.

After dinner, Anirudh & Sarah changed into their wedding looks from last year so they could dance the night away.
