Akshata & Rishi Engagement

This is a great story!

When I told Akshata about our engagement sessions she suggested we tell the story of how she and Rishi spent their courtship. It was to be our most ambitious engagement session ever!

They met at university here in the States. Afterwards he went back home to the UK, she stayed in California. Could they do the long-distance relationship? Where would they date? How could they spend time together?
