TRAVEL + LEISURE WEDDINGS & HONEYMOONS

KATIA PESHAKOVA PHOTOGRAPHY

Katia Peshakova landed in India in 2011

with an old camera and a one-way ticket

from Russia. Six years hence, she shoots

every wedding with the same enthusiasm

of a discoverer. She says, “Every wedding is

absolutely unique and full of curious small

moments, rituals, and traditions. I feel like

I have become a collector.” peshakova.com

In the middle

of the chaos,

the moment

when you

look into the

eyes of your

life partner

and realise

it’s forever.

Couples usually look away from the camera to make the shot look natural. But Emma and Anup

were effortless even when looking right into the lens.
