A wedding story on Ajay and Prathyusha’s traditional Tambrahm wedding which we shot last year. Like many other weddings that were held last year, their wedding was also held among a lot of uncertainties since no one would have experienced a wedding that too a traditional, 3 days Brahmin wedding to be such a low-key affair. Even though it was a wedding during the early pandemic stages, there was no shortage of fun and plenty of scope for great candid moments for us to be shot, inspire all the uncertainties the wedding was conducted by following all the Vedic traditions.
The best part of the event was, as per plan, the wedding was held with very, very limited guests, we are grateful to the bride and groom’s family for keeping it a low key affair which might have been a difficult decision to take but a very, very sensible decision.
The full wedding duration was live-streamed on our website for their friends and relatives who coldnt’t make it on the day.
Though this was no the first time we have been broadcasting a wedding this was probably the first time more guests were joining live than the number of guests who were directly attending the wedding in the venue.
For our team, maintaining distance and live streaming all the weddings became a new normal.
And it begins! “Mai” (we have no idea what it is in English) is applied on the groom’s eyes before the rituals begin
Kumarabhohanam, is a quick but heavy meal offered to the groom by the bride’s family before the major ceremony begins. This will be his last meal as a bachelor!
