This will seem like a fairytale, but this story is based on true events – Serena weds Manav, two souls destined to find each other, across borders, through time, with the kind of love that poets try to write about and cameras dream to capture.
Serena + Manav- A story written in the stars, a love that poets write about and when two souls are destined to meet each other, the universe decides to join two beautiful hearts together. Their journey began long before they ever knew it did. A casual drink in New York years ago, a forgotten moment, a missed spark until fate decided it wasn’t the right time. But when love is meant to be, it truly finds its way.
Serena’s best friend from high school met Manav in college and couldn’t help but talk about his sense of humour, his charm, and how perfect he’d be for Serena. One social media post about setting her up was all it took for destiny to nudge the two back into orbit. Manav slid into her Instagram DMs, determined to take her out before anyone else could. And just like that, a new chapter began.
It seemed like the universe had already started its playing its beautiful role, with a perfect date of the two at a cozy restaurant and bar, laughter filling the air, and an unforgettable kiss at the bus station. Sparks flew, and Serena knew in her heart, he was the one.
Then came the unexpected pause in the world COVID. To the world, it brought distance; for them, it brought closeness. Days turned into nights filled with endless conversations, and when Serena needed help with her math class, Manav, ever the gentleman, offered to tutor her. One visit turned into daily routines, and before they knew it, two years had flown by like a decade of togetherness.
A dreamy proposal is what we all want deep down in our hearts. The day was here, a dreamy villa in Thailand, perched on a cliff, surrounded by the beauty of both water and lush gardens Serena’s favorite elements. It was the best of both worlds, just like them. He got down on one knee, the ocean breeze holding its breath. Tears fell, hearts soared, and she said yes.
But the magic didn’t stop there! Turns out, their paths had crossed even before their first kiss. Manav remembered the night in New York, the one she didn’t. A quiet twist, the kind you find in movies, except this one was real. Their love had been circling, waiting for the right moment to bloom.
They danced under stars on road trips, shared secrets in quiet cafes, and built a life that felt like poetry. “The easiest decision I ever made,” Manav said, “was marrying her.”
Their wedding in Spain was nothing short of a fairytale. With P. Taufiq Photography capturing every intimate glance, every burst of laughter, and every tear of joy, the magic of the moment was frozen in time. If you’re dreaming of timeless wedding photography in Spain, their gallery is a love letter to what’s possible. Each frame tells a story a visual symphony crafted by a passionate wedding photographer in Spain who knew how to preserve emotions like delicate petals in a book of love.
From the vibrant Sangeet at Finca Mas Solers, to the soul-soaked Haldi at Eurostars Sitges Barcelona, and finally, their breathtaking ceremony and reception at Castell de Sant Marçal, every moment was a mosaic of tradition, elegance, and unfiltered joy.
Serena still remembers the video her best friend sent, just two people dancing in a circle, not knowing that years later, they’d be dancing into forever. “When you know, you know,” she says. “If it’s meant to be, it’ll always come back.”
As a gift to her love, Serena gave Manav something he had always dreamed of a mint green Rolex. A symbol of time, of moments shared and moments to come. He cried when he saw it. So did her family. Because love like this it makes the world stop for a second.
If you’re looking to bring your own fairytale to life, finding the right wedding photographer in Spain makes all the difference. Let their lens be your storyteller, your memory keeper, your silent witness to forever.
Because some love stories aren’t just meant to be lived. They’re meant to be captured frame by frame, heartbeat by heartbeat.
