Backyard Wedding in Pleasanton, California

Aashna and Ben were supposed to have their grand wedding this year in August, but due to these unexpected current events, their desired venue was shut down by the government. They didn’t let this stop them, though. They decided to still have their intimate and emotional wedding ceremony on the original date they had planned and will have their celebration with their full guest list later in 2021.

Here we can see the bride and groom dressed in traditional clothing and sitting on a bench outside as the groom puts the wedding band on the bride’s finger.
