A Traditional Tambrahm wedding with limited guests

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.

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!

A complete wedding in "Home" sweet Home!

All our recent blogs have been on lockdowns and Kids Photography, so finally a blog on wedding photography.

We will be posting more blogs on the “wedding stories” hashtag which is nothing but a series of images from a single wedding which we haven't been posting at all, so here we go with our recent favorite. Fore more full weddings check out our hashtag “Wedding Stories

Each wedding has a soul of its own and unfolds in a very distinct pattern. We believe one cannot buy beautiful wedding images by hiring a team of wedding photographers who owns a stunning portfolio.

“Wedding Photographs happen”

A series of beautiful images at a wedding is a result of how beautiful you organize your BIG DAY! The ambiance and the mood you create heavily influence the atmosphere which acts as an invisible guest but reveals itself as a very vibrant element in the wedding album.

Presenting our recent favorite and our new benchmark in wedding photography.

When Riona met Jonathan

Our First wedding of the year!

This year 2019 has statrted on a great note for us! by the first month of January, we shot an engagment ceremony, baby shower, mehendi ceremony, kids portrait session, first birthday and a wedding! That is almost every kind of shoot we do in a year!

We preferred keeping our blog section more content oriented, where we described our experience in weddings, different wedding customs and mostly our own views on how to make weddings more colourful but during the course of writing blogs, we havnet been sharing pictures of complete weddings, Though we have a huge gallery of wedding photography on our pintrest and instagram page, we belive we should be posting more on the topic complete weddings here in our website. We have shared a series of pictures from weddings and other traditioanal events in the past but we havent been doing it on a regular basics, so from now onwards, we will be posting more under the tag “wedding stories” a tag to describe a complete wedding through a series of beautiful pictures.

Riona and Jonathan got married on the first week of January and this is a photo story of the beautiful couple’s big day!

We have said this a hundered times before, the getting ready of the groom is the most underrated event in a wedding, while all the attending goes to the bride when she is getting ready, a proper shot of the groom is a blessing.
