Vivah

A wedding keepsake: Rutuja & Aniket, Pune

A wedding keepsake is a magazine about two families, made to be kept. It has to follow one couple through the day and read like a story, not a slideshow.

This sample follows one real couple, photographed by Kewal Nagda, through a Maharashtrian wedding in Pune: the sakharpuda, two phetas, the varmala, the seven steps, the portraits and the vidaai. The names and words are illustrative.

Decisions

  • One couple, start to finish

    Every photograph is of the same bride and groom, by one photographer. A keepsake that mixes couples or stock pictures stops being theirs.

  • A script masthead, used sparingly

    Vivah is set in a formal script once on the cover, and one script word appears per spread. Everything else is Cormorant Garamond, so the pages stay calm.

  • Stories, not captions

    Each ritual gets a headline, a short story and a photograph sized to the page: how they met, the evening in purple, vidaai at four. Families read it, then keep it.

  • The details people ask for later

    The last page carries the menu of the wedding lunch, the timetable of the day and a thank-you, the things families look up years afterwards.
