Karthik & Cherrishma | A Pre-Wedding Story

A little romance. A lot of laughter.

From lamplit streets to open fields, Karthik and Cherrishma make every frame their own.

Matching black outfits, a quiet street and smiles that turn into laughter. Karthik and Cherrishma’s pre-wedding photographs begin with the simple pleasure of being close: walking hand in hand, leaning into each other and finding another reason to laugh.

The mood changes with Cherrishma’s flowing red gown. White arches, a piano and the evening sky bring a sense of drama, while their playful expressions keep the photographs feeling personal. Traditional portraits add another chapter, framed by carved wood and warm light.

Out in the countryside, the story slows down. A saree, a dhoti, bare feet and open fields. A flower tucked into her hair. A teasing moment beside the haystack. Then the two of them resting together, with nowhere else they need to be.

Different settings, different looks, and the same easy connection throughout. Photographed by Studio iClickYou, these are memories of the days before their wedding—and of how they were together.
