"Is this for real?" — they asked themselves. "Are we finally breaking the rhythm of the circles?"
When a deep friendship becomes something strong, complicated, but fun. Rhea and Vir were best friends for many years until they realized there was something more growing within them.
Passing by an 'Old Friend' booth—a title they had worn for years—not knowing it was about to change. At the same time, they cherished what they already had and kept their dating life private. It became a beautiful, sneaky romance.
As they are both architects, it’s no surprise that the Guggenheim museum's curves became a leitmotif for their story — a recurring theme of becoming whole. Standing between the windows, this was a "composition of noticing."
They break the architectural rhythm—just as their new feelings broke the steady routine of a years-long friendship, pulling them together like a single thread.
While their romance grew warmer throughout the story, I captured their "sneaky" phase: framing them sitting on the back of a bus sharing headphones and choosing pastries through the glass at Breads Bakery, dissolving into the corners of the city crowds.
And then, the realization: this is for real. No more hiding; they are ready to step into the light.
Changing into traditional attire, this is their debut. Whimsical and candid shots on empty, dark streets like still frames from a Bollywood movie — they run, play, dance, and celebrate their love.
This chapter is coming to an end, but their story keeps going, and new beginnings will be celebrated.
