The Fabulous Wedding of the Mr. and Mrs. | Destination Wedding Photographer Udaipur

We covered their Prewedding photos in the previous blog. This time around, we are back with the main wedding ceremony photos of The Mr. and Mrs. - Shashwata and Chetan. Two days of celebrations. Nothing over the top. Rather, a very subtle and warm family affair is how we can describe their wedding. Have a look. We feel you will agree. Oh! In case you haven't checked our the prewedding photos, the link is this. The wedding was designed and planned by the lovely peeps at Desert

A Beautiful Wedding in Kovalam | Wedding Photographer in Goa

We arrived at Kovalam, sometime about 8 months earlier for Ashmita and Jeet's Wedding. It was one of those weddings where team-members flew in from different places across the country. I flew in from Goa, Sudhanshu from Jaipur, Lovely and Siddhesh from Mumbai, Purushottam from Delhi and Sinto and his team from Cochin. Logistics was a crazy nightmare for this wedding with flights at odd hours and people arriving across different dates and times. However, thanks to the understa

Love in the Forests | Wedding Photographer in India | Wedding Photographer in Goa

Kritika and Vivek got married in Jammu. We travelled a day before the main events for their Pre-Wedding shoot. When we eventually got to start the shoot it was past noon and Kritika had to be back home for a small ritual before sunset. So, we did not actually have much time. What was good was that the location we had selected was almost a forest and that provided us with patches of light and shadow. While wandering around in the location, we came across this nice red empty bu

The Feminist Dress | Wedding Photographer in India

Feminism! Shweta and I have discussed at times what it should mean and stand for. It could be a bit difficult to write about Feminism, being a man. There are countless problems and situations and inequalities women across the world have to face on a regular, if not daily basis. Its difficult to fully comprehend all of them without having to ever face them. Its true that these genuine problems need to be addressed and solutions found. When women (and sometimes, men) stand up t

If you have been following our work, you would already be familiar with Pragya and Divyanshu. We had published this small story (link) about them a few days ago. At times brides and grooms want to keep things simple and do not want a big team to cover their wedding and so was the case with Pragya and Divyanshu. They just want good photographs and videos. I was photographing, and Soumak was on the video. We love such assignments too. Here are the photos from the weddin

Our Shortest PreWedding Shoot | Wedding Photographer in Goa

At times, brides and grooms cannot give time for Pre Wedding shoot. Sometimes they also do not want to pose at all. The two combined is not an easy situation for a photographer. Anyushka and Siddhant could give us only about 30 minutes for the Pre-Wedding shoot as they and their immediate family had just checked in and were facing some logistical problem. They had come out of a discussion and were about to go into another meeting to sort it out. And, they did not want to pose

Mini Wedding Story 02 : A Short, Sweet, Meaningful Message | Wedding Photographer in Goa

We were having an impromptu discussion with Pragya as she was getting ready. It was a single videographer assignment with Soumak on the camera. We did not have the luxury of a formal interview setup, and in any case, we have begun to realise that at times impromptu conversations bring out the best in a lot of people and have started to encourage that over formal interviews. Somehow, in the wedding film context, we feel they are more real too - but, then, that's our opinio

Mini Wedding Story 01: A Mom and Her Daughter's Story | Wedding Photographer in India

While covering weddings, we often come across little things that touch us profoundly. It might be something behind the scene or something that people who we interact with have told us. These little stories have a lot of emotional value but are difficult to express in just photographs. This blog, which we eventually want to expand into a series is our humble attempt at capturing such a story. We were sitting with Anyushka's mom, Mrs.Sangeeta Dhawan the day before the wedding c

|We have covered quite a few weddings in Dehradun by now. In fact, after Delhi NCR, its probably Dehradun where we get to travel the most. All the weddings we have covered so far in Dehradun had one thing common to them. They had a certain level of intimacy and warmth. Each one of them. Irrespective of how big or 'not big' they were. Soumak, recently travelled to Dehradun once again. To cover Arshrika and Ooril's wedding. It was one of those weddings where we spoke to only Ar

A PreWedding Shoot in a Beautiful Setup | Best Wedding Photographer India

We had been to The Perfect Location, Faridabad quite a while ago - when they had just setup the place initially. It was a nice concept - having a private location with pretty backdrops, setups and props and complete with a fully equipped changing room. What more can one ask for? When Neha and Anant booked this lovely place for 8 hours for their PreWedding shoot, we were initially wondering what would we be shooting for 8 hours. It seemed way too long! However, when we reached

A Midnight PreWedding Shoot in Delhi | Wedding Photographer in Delhi

Prewedding shoots start at 5:00 AM and they start at 7:30 PM. They could go on till about 11:00 PM, maybe even a bit later. But, have you ever heard of a PreWedding shoot that starts at 1:00 AM in the morning and goes on till 3:30 AM? Pretty insane that would be, wouldn't it? Well, thats what we conceptualised this time and our super energetic couple Tarini and Ayush were up for it the moment we described the shoot to them. Later on they told us that the timing suited them be

An Inspiring Story and the First SILK AWARDS | Best Wedding Photographer in India

As wedding photographers, we get to be with and photograph families up close. Some of the stories we get to cover are very inspirational - like this one. I recently submitted this photo story to the first SILK AWARDS - which coincided with SILK INSPIRE, India's first wedding photography 'festival'. The panel of judges chose this story as the 4th position winner - among more than 300 entries. The award will always mean so much to me as the panel of judges had amongst the leadi

Warm, Cosy Love

We love it when our clients want us to capture them as they are in their regular lives. Surprisingly, we have seen that all such clients share a very lovely chemistry between them. That being the case, its just about suggesting them some relaxing poses, finding some good light and finding some background that go with them. We love such shoots. They ensure that even 20 years down the line, they will still be able to relate to these nice memories. And that's what photos should

Best Friends Forever

Our best times, our best memories are most often those that we had spent with our friends. Right from our school days, to when we were college going grown-ups and till date, we have shared our thoughts and feelings with our friends, spent innumerable hours having fun, shared some of the loudest laughters and have had the worst hangovers past a night with them. To a lot of us, our best friends have been the closest persons for us during our wedding. When Neera and Ketan had to

The Charm of Chandni Chowk

We suggest a lot of ideas to people for a PreWedding shoot, to make the photos different. However, its not too often that we come across a couple who are up for the ideas that would need them to step out of the comfort zone. Sadhvi and Varun were one such couple, who were ready to do whatever it takes to make their PreWedding shoot different. A PreWedding shoot at Chandni Chowk, where you have a crowd of people gathering to watch you whatever you do, can get quite unnerving.

A Graceful Destination Wedding in Jaipur

Destination Weddings are always exciting to cover. There is often an extra element of beauty and a sense of closely knit charm to them, that makes them attractive to photograph. We don't mean to say that non-destination weddings are not as attractive. In fact, each wedding has its own story to tell which is attractive in its own way. So, what was it about this wedding that we loved - other than the fact that it was a destination wedding? We got to know two individuals who are

The Most Common Questions we are asked!!

A bit of chit-chat before we dive into the question. Shweta and I are blessed to get a lot of love and warmth when we go to cover weddings. It happens particularly when we are shooting together. I guess, its probably because in such shoots people see us more as another couple - a husband and a wife - than just two photographers doing their job. It helps us a lot, trust me, to get those carefree moments captured in our camera. Shweta is one chatter-box and its usually not long

The Charm of Love in this City | Wedding Photographer Delhi

Three years ago, when Soumak and I had moved to Delhi, we were clueless on how madly we would fall in love with this city. To kickstart our blog we decided to choose a session with a feel of this city. This city has offered us a lot of love and success. Although Humayun's tomb is an overly used place for pre weeddings, there are areas in it that are less explored and will always remain our favourite if its the right time of the day. Christina and Sukant are a perfect couple.
