A supermodel wedding that went from Paris to Rohtak

Pooja Mor and Cameron Lamb are from opposite ends of the world—he’s Australian, born in Sydney, she’s from Bareilly, India. Their work takes them to New York, London, Paris, and Los Angeles. She’s usually modelling for international magazines like Vogue or Le Figaro and fronting brands like Polène and Saks. He’s a producer of award-winning films and a publisher who jets between film sets around the world. Yet their first date was at an Indian restaurant in London, and eventually, less than two years after meeting each other, the couple decided that home would be with each other. For now, that’s Paris, where the two were married in November 2024 in an intimate town-hall ceremony. They followed it up with a celebration at Pooja’s family home in Rohtak in April 2025.

Over a series of conversations, the two shared the joy of putting together a truly personal celebration that would mark the start of their future together.

The proposal

Cameron: It happened in Italy, but I hadn’t actually told Pooja where we were going. I just alluded that it was a trip for my birthday when, in fact, I planned to propose. I finally did it on a boat in the waters below Casa Malaparte, which is this beautiful, iconic building in a very secluded cove on the island of Capri.

Pooja: I had been a little vague about going on the trip, but at some point he was very clear: “You have to come.” So, I had a feeling it was something serious. At the same time, because I’m a bit of a control freak, I was scared because I didn’t know where we were going. Luckily, I know him well and sensed that something was going to happen, so I had my nails done beforehand!

Cameron: But you thought it might happen at a restaurant in the evening.

Pooja: Yes. I had this full filmi image in my mind of him getting down on one knee at a restaurant during a very romantic dinner. But he took me by surprise and proposed first thing in the morning.

Cameron: The sun had just risen and we were overlooking the water on the Amalfi Coast. It was a location that, to me, just really exemplified so many elements that we had shared and talked about over our time together—our love for the sea, for travel—and I’m reluctant to use the word spiritual, but there are many spiritual beliefs and feelings in that part of the world that I thought were really beautiful to share with Pooja.

After that we had a day without our phones; we swam off the coast of Positano, and then we went to our favourite restaurant for lunch. It was the most exhilarating moment of my life.

Pooja: I think for me it was a bit more nerve-racking, because I didn’t really expect it. And then I saw him making hand signals to the captain of the boat, and I was thinking, it’s 10 am, we’ve just had a swim, is he really going to do it now? The next thing I knew, he was next to me, his hands were shaking, and he was saying these beautiful poetic lines asking me to marry him.

Cameron: She actually didn’t say anything at first; she went all quiet and then hugged me so tightly for 30 seconds. And then she just said, “1000 per cent.”

Pooja: Before it happens you keep asking: am I ready for this? What will the future look like? This is when you’re alone. But then as soon as you see the person who’s going to ask you the question, it changes everything. Once I landed in Capri, I think all my worries went away.

The ring

Cameron: I always had in mind that a solitaire, just a single solitaire, would look the most beautiful and elegant, and also respectful to Pooja. I had a rough idea of what her ring size was and chose a solitaire in Paris [from Harry Winston].

Pooja: We had been trying rings for a few months. Ever since we met, our core values have been so similar. I felt at home with him, and he felt the same with me, so it was very obvious that I would get married to this man. He proposed in August and in November last year we were married.

The dress

Pooja: While choosing the dress I went on this whole journey thinking about who we are, what our relationship is about, and what I want to be for that day. I tried on so many dresses, and then I was with my friends at Veka Bridal in New York when I found the one. It made me feel almost angelic. As soon as I put it on, everyone knew this was it! It had a beautiful tulip shape and looked like it had wings at the back. It captured how Cameron makes me feel.

The preparations

Pooja: Before the main signing we had a pre-wedding dinner to host those who came in from out of town and just celebrate with everyone. Then, oh my god, Cameron actually stayed at a hotel the night before the wedding.

Cameron: Traditionally, you don’t stay in the same place as your future wife the night before getting married.

Pooja: I had been trying to hide the wedding dress from him till the big day as well, so that made sure he didn’t see me till the last moment.

Cameron: It meant there was so much more anticipation and surprise when I finally saw her at the venue. As soon as she stepped out of the car in that white dress, it took my breath away.

Pooja: I had a really good friend who is a makeup artist come in the morning to help me get ready. And my friends also told me about the poem that says, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a lucky sixpence in her shoe.” I did all of that, including the coin, and even had the phrase printed as keepsakes. My something borrowed was Cameron’s grandmother’s watch and a promise ring he had given me earlier in the year, which was also a family heirloom. The something blue was a bunch of flowers I carried with me. Something new was my dress, of course, and the rings.

The India edition

Pooja: For the last two years my dad has been building a home for the family in Rohtak, Haryana, the town where my mom is from. He always wanted to have memories of his daughter getting married in his own house. To honour this and my traditions was important to both Cameron and me. I wanted to bring us to my homeland and have it be a very wholesome, family, village-vibe wedding.

Cameron: After our signing in Paris, the three days in India were a chance for us to come together under the auspices of all the Hindu rituals. It was also my first time meeting Pooja’s extended family, and everyone had a role to play in the ceremonies—from seven married women on her mom’s side who participated in the haldi ceremony to the men on her father’s side who welcomed me into her family during the tilak ceremony. It couldn’t have been a better, bigger introduction to every family member.

Pooja: I could totally see my dad getting really into the seriousness of traditions like the kanyadaan and so on. But I personally just wanted everyone to have a good time and keep it joyful. Because this kanya, you know, she’s going to come back. So I added a few things that, to my family, are perhaps very modern, like a dholwalla and a DJ. Cameron and I also did a dance on the second day to the song ‘Gallan Goodiyaan’. We choreographed it ourselves; it was very silly and fun. And on the third day we held the wedding ceremony on the rooftop of a hotel and I made sure there was a priest who spoke English as well to translate things so that everyone could feel involved. It rained on the day, really heavily, thunderously, which everyone said is auspicious, and it ended up being so beautiful because of that.

Cameron: As soon as my great grandfather’s name was uttered by the priest during the ceremony, the loudest thunderclap arrived! It really felt like both our families came together in that moment, as Pooja and I did.
