Kunal / Raksha

Kunal wanted his proposal to Raksha to be a little bit different, and boy did he deliver.

“When wild ambitions and searing adoration come together, something truly remarkable often happens.”
Kunal is someone who prefers his actions to speak louder than his words. So when he came to us and said he wanted to propose to Raksha, his girlfriend of nine years, we knew it was going to be impressive. He explained that he wanted us to shoot the event, and that at the top of his proposal idea list was a helicopter ride. It was an instant yes from us, and we set about prepping for the big day.

On the day of the proposal back in September, Kunal drove them both out to a secret location. Once there, he calmly brought his future bride out of the car and guided her towards the surprise. With the wind whipping through her hair and a smile from ear to ear, Raksha waited patiently to see what Kunal had planned for her. She didn’t have to wait long.

Soon, they were flying high above the open skies, Raksha still reeling from the sweet surprise. Together, they soared over the countryside, binoculars in hand. And just as planned, Kunal said he had spotted something curious down below and pointed it out to Raksha. Her face lit up as she read the words Will you marry me? written on a huge banner below. She turned towards Kunal, who was ready and waiting, ring in hand, eager to hear her response. Of course, the answer was yes. And the ring was carefully slipped onto her finger.

Back on the ground, the pair embraced, soaking in the moment and excitedly planning the next adventure to come.
