being the difference they are,
they
inevitably
come together.
They are the sky and the sea—
I wish I could explain it. Going through the hundreds of photos I shot, the one above kept pulling me back. To me, that photo is Sanny & Charitharth. Holding each other, holding their ground, finding their way and finding their happiness.
Honestly?
For Sanny and Charitharth, love is a journey of discovery. Their experiential shoot was curated around exactly that—two days shaped by a single question:
What are all the ways we can discover each other?
Here's their story.
01
Discovering Each Other Through Art Therapy
What is your deepest secret?
What shapes you—the love you carry, the fears you hide, the circles and scribbles that make you, you? Can who you are be discovered not through words, but through color, texture, movement—through painting together?
Before Sanny and Charitharth found their answers in conversation, they found each other in scribbles and the silence of their laughter.
They painted—not to create something perfect, but to feel. To let emotion and unfiltered thoughts guide their hands. There was no overthinking—just the color spilling onto canvas, like light slipping through the cracks of a mountain.
We can’t quite put it into words, but if I had to try—when they walked in, there was a quiet hustle, a sense of restlessness. By the end of the session, that had softened into peace, laughter, and an openness for what was to come.
This was more than painting. It was discovery—of love and madness, of contentment and ambition.
These canvases hold within them a piece of who they are.
Discovering Each Other in Planned Spontaneity
02
Sanny & Charitharth like to plan—just enough for a little structure, never enough to box them in. The wind in her face, messing up her hair. His expressions, shifting with the moment. The easiest metaphor for how they take life as it comes.
The sail beside them, the sun behind them—the light and wind was a part of the moment too. It wasn’t just them standing there; they were moving with the yacht, finding their balance, losing it, cracking up, holding on. It didn’t feel like they were posing for photos—it felt like they were falling in love.
After nailing a few magazine-worthy poses (or at least giving it their best shot), this was about discovering each other through a list of things they’d love to do while traveling the world. Not where to go—just, and only, what to do. One bucket list of experiences curated by two people.
03
Discovering Each Other on a Trek
They started walking up the hill. The sun was shining bright through the leaves, the highlights came to life and the shadows made their presence felt. The world around them felt like it was on fire.
When one loves photos and the other doesn’t:
Discovering Each Other in Space
04
The evening was about discovering the silence in the space between them. The beauty of Sanny and Charitharth is in how they give each other space. She is who she is. He is who he is. Like two skies of their own, they choose—consciously, intentionally—to come together as one.
That doesn’t mean it’s effortless. They know what it takes—acceptance, effort, the willingness to listen, the courage to express. And yet, they meet each other with the ease of hues through a changing sky.
As far are giving each other space goes, this is Charitharth telling Sanny to maintain a one-arm-distance from him and Sanny absolutely not giving a shit about it.
Discovering Each Other Through Taste
05
The Bhel Puri Experience: They didn’t just make a bowl of bhel. Each other’s bhel had a unique taste of its own entirely based on who they are as people. Each ingredient represented something specific in their life - something specific to their personalities.
They answered a set of deeply personal questions, scored themselves intuitively, and based on their personal scores, the proportions of the ingredients changed in their Bhel. The taste of their Bhel was a straight reflection of the life they live as two different people and as a couple.
On the first bite, with the eyes closed and in the silence of the space, they understood each other and themselves - not through words in a conversation but through the quiet explosion of flavors. Thoughts, ideas, metaphors of life and emotions of the heart became something they could taste.
By the end, there was a quiet fulfillment in the air. Watching Sanny lean into Charitharth on the couch, her head resting against him, both of them wrapped in their own peacefulness—it felt less like a moment and more like a painting.
06
“Something Just Like This”
Not all of us are writers, but all of us have a story. The final part of their experience came from one simple question—
What if people who aren’t writers were given a way to write their story, and then narrate it?
Walking into this beautiful bookstore, Sanny & Charitharth had 30 minutes to do just that. They walked through the columns of wooden shelves, searched through the colors around and picked the titles that felt like them.
They picked words that captured their relationship and the meaning they hold in each other’s lives.
The moment that truly stayed. Sanny placed Happy Place on the table, ready to explain why she chose it. But before she could, she teared up. They are a happy place for each other. Being completely unaware that the other picked the same, both of them picked that book for each other.
This table, these books—though the words weren’t written by them, this was their story.
This photograph isn’t something to be explained—it’s something to be felt.
This photograph feels like them. Like the story they already are and the story they’re still becoming. It’s as if they’ve stepped right out of a book, caught in the space between written and unwritten.
