Golden Gate Bridge Overlook Wedding Photo showing affection, and devotion to one another was on full display
The bride and groom pose for an intimate portrait on their wedding day, in which their love, affection, and devotion to one another was on full display.
If the COVID-19 pandemic taught anyone anything, it was that it's so important to live in the moment. Pooja and Akash decided to take that approach to the global crisis, and the couple took advantage of the opportunity to plan an intimate and romantic elopement at the Golden Gate Outlook in San Francisco, California. However, the pandemic had yet another lesson to teach the couple — to expect the unexpected. California imposed a second shutdown just days before their scheduled ceremony, and rain threatened the outdoor plans that they had in place. Despite it all, Pooja and Akash enjoyed a memorable day in which they were finally able to become husband and wife.
