Caitlyn Davis
Maid of Honor & Sister/Best friend of the Bride

Sarah and Caty met in 6th grade during their homeroom and band classes (where they both played the trumpet) when they were both 11 - and they've been best friends ever since. As one of Sarah’s first friends in the Springboro school system, Caty made the transition to a new school seamless with her fun energy and excitement. They would regularly have sleepovers and hang outs after school, playing Sims, reading books, and generally tormenting their siblings together. Although Caty now lives in California and Sarah in Boston, the two stay connected and talk almost daily. Now, almost 15 years later, the two will meet up when both are in Dayton to go for dinner, catch up, and usually walk around Target just chatting.

Craig Engelbrecht
Older Brother of the Bride

Sarah’s older brother, Craig, has always been a significant influence in her life. Six years her senior, he was the one who first introduced her to video games, sparking countless hours of fun on the N64 and Xbox consoles.  While Craig has often been the voice of reason and a source of guidance—like during college tours—he also lived up to the role of an older brother by mercilessly pranking her. An Air Force veteran, Craig is working as a Senior Manager of Security Operations in Columbus.  With his quick wit and sharp intelligence, Craig keeps Sarah on her toes, and their shared banter reflects a sibling bond filled with humor, warmth, and lifelong connection.

Jacob Marsh
Younger Brother of the Bride

Jacob is Sarah's younger brother and Irish twin. Growing up, their relationship was marked by sibling antagonism, but as they’ve grown older, Sarah has come to appreciate the conversations they share. Currently finishing his nursing studies at Sinclair Community College, Jacob is also an avid environmentalist with a passion for nature. His love for the great outdoors takes him on frequent hiking, camping, and kayaking trips—sometimes without a heads-up, much to their mother’s chagrin! Jacob’s adventurous spirit and dedication to making a difference reflect the unique bond he and Sarah share.

H
Heather Probst
Best friend of the Bride

Sarah and Heather’s friendship began in 1st grade through Girl Scouts at Incarnation, where their shared curiosity and creativity quickly brought them together. When Sarah moved away, she was heartbroken to leave behind such a close friend, but the two stayed connected. Their paths crossed again in high school when Heather joined Springboro High School, and they picked up right where they left off. During college, their friendship blossomed even further as they both remained in Dayton—Heather at the University of Dayton and Sarah at Wright State University. The two share a love for cats, exploring the outdoors, and bringing ideas to life through their creativity. Whether swapping book recommendations, crafting, or engaging in spirited game nights, Heather has been a constant companion in Sarah’s life, bringing joy, laughter, and a shared sense of adventure.

Pervez Taufiq
Lead Photographer - PTaufiq Photography

Pervez is an artist whose passion for event photography services has grown immensely over the past decade. His creative journey began in a Boston-based band Living Syndication, where he was the lead singer. While he was used to being on stage, captivating audiences in the hundreds of thousands, and seeing his songs chart on radio and TV, he always felt a magnetic pull toward the world of photos and videos. Pervez often says, “When people ask me what equipment I use, I tell them ‘my eyes and my heart.’” This quote perfectly sums up his approach to photography Service—it’s not just about the gear, but about the vision and emotion he brings to each shot.

For years, friends would ask Pervez to shoot their weddings, and he finally gave in. What started as a favor turned into a deep love for capturing one of life’s most beautiful moments. Initially, he took on a limited number of clients, but as word spread and his community encouraged him, he decided to make it a full-time career. Now, Pervez leads a team of talented photographers and videographers who share his passion not just for the art, but for the couples they work with.

Pervez is an international photographer who has been featured in Vogue and Bazaar Magazine for his stunning, dramatic photo and video skills. We are so excited to have Pervez lead the photography and videography for our wedding because of his talents in cinematic and editorial style shoots. Before our wedding, we completed a photo shoot with Pervez's team in Jaipur.

Shilpa Sabvharwal
DJ & Baraat Leader - djshilpa

The first DJ who Shilpa rocked out to was her dad. As her father's faithful roadie, twelve year old Shilpa found herself working gigs every weekend and quickly falling in love with the craft. Forgoing Barbie dolls and instead playing with two scratched up hand-me-down turntables, Shilpa turned her bedroom into a DJ booth and taught herself how to spin.

Growing up playing and writing music, she naturally killed it at NYC's Dubspot DJ School and is an Ableton Live Certified Producer. Her sincere ambition and dedication to her work gives her a huge edge in the industry; Shilpa is a trained voice over artist, making her MC work miles ahead of the pack.

With 15 years of experience and an impressive portfolio, DJ Shilpa has earned her place as one of the most in demand DJs in the South Asian Wedding Industry. She has been showcased as a featured vendor on Platinum Weddings and Maharani Weddings and travelled internationally to perform. She is far from predictable and can kick it with any genre of music, effortlessly mixing even Bollywood with old school hip hop.

We are thrilled to have Shilpa as the DJ for our wedding events and can't wait for everyone to experience her amazing style and sound. Check out her socials to book her services for your event!
