Wedding Ceremony of Poonam and Avish

An invitation to photograph the wedding of Avish and Poonam brought Violet Studio from the UAE all the way to Mauritius. Our photographer Natalia was honored to capture this colorful and memorable four-day Hindu-Tamil celebration and here is her feedback: 

“It was truly thrilling to be part of such massive, joyful and vibrant celebration attended by more than fifteen hundred people and filled with elaborate ceremonies and rituals that included henna painting, saffron unction, prayers and traditional dancing. Avish and Poonam have become a favorite couple of mine, I was moved by the story of their relationship and their love and dedication to their families and each other. I have known Avish through photography for a long time and when I arrived in Mauritius to attend to his wedding I was immediately accepted into the family and looked after by his relatives during my entire stay. 

Avish is a teacher at the university and Poonam is a marine conservation specialist currently working on a dolphin protection project. They grew up side-by-side going to the same school and later to the same university. During all that time, however, they never really spoke to each other until the day when Avish was invited at Poonam’s house to help her fix her computer. Almost instantaneously they found soul mates in each other and shortly afterwards, became engaged. Eight years later they celebrated their marriage in a truly memorable four-day event”.
