Wedding shoot – Asha & Vinay

After I had shot this wedding, I was asked if I could do another one week and a half later. It was the bride’s brother who was getting married next, and he’d watched me during his sister’s wedding, and liked my approach. I met up with the to be married couple a week before the marriage, showed them some of pictures, and all other details were with regards to the wedding and the shoot were discussed and finalized. I think its a must for anyone shooting a wedding to meet the couple well in advance and get to know them.

It was a two day shoot. On the eve of the wedding, I was at the bride’s house, to photograph and document a few rituals and traditions, that were unique to girl’s side. (Read Coorgi tradition). Here are some pictures from that evening.
