A wedding in India is a humongous affair. An event so pure
and pious and at the same time so delightful and electrifying! It marks the
inception of a relationship between not just two people, but two families. A
grace-filled event where two families vow to be together through ups and downs
and together solemnize the love between two people.
The beginning of such a grace-filled
togetherness begins with the courtship period. Courtship period is a
pathway leading towards the union of two beautiful people. A pathway where
these two people and their families bond together, commit together, laugh
together and prepare together for the big event. Preparation is the most
important ingredient in this process and a pre-wedding shoot reflects this
preparation. A pre-wedding shoot is not just a collection of pretty photos but an embodiment of -
The captivating vibe between the bride and groom, their comfort level, their
spontaneity and frivolity and at the same time their nervousness and coyness.
