07 Mar Luxury Multicultural Wedding – Jewish and Indian Wedding of Sacha & Emrin in Lodi, CA

All because two people met at a gym- a beautiful start to Sacha and Emrin’s love story. In fact, it was at their very first interaction at the gym that Sacha knew he had just met the future Mrs. Mount.

Upon completing the fourth round, the bride and groom were now considered man and wife- a bond meant to last forever. But for our groom, even forever is not enough! “I’ve always known, ever since I met you, I want to spend forever with you. And forever is not long enough!” -Sancha, groom.
