Steven & Preeti - Mumbai Wedding Photographer

Its a lot of catching up to do in blogging front I will start with the wedding of Steven & Preeti. A wonderful and uber photogenic couple. Steven works as a branding manager for a A list company and hence for him photographs and video of his wedding where of utmost importance. I love such clients and they make my job so much easier.
Steven and Preeti got married on a beautiful sunny day. Despite the fact that the monsoons had stretched itself a wee bit more it was bright and sunny. These love birds wanted to leave no stones unturned. I love it when couple are very hands on and wanted to add their own personal touch to their D-day. Steven and Preeti made sure every little aspect of the wedding had some sort of personal touch involved right from their wedding preparation to the favours given out to the guests at the end of the wedding.

Roce Ceremony - Mumbai Wedding Photographer

Roce (pronounced as rose) is an important ceremony performed on the previous evening of the wedding day. In this ceremony a ritual hot water bath with anointing of oil and application of pure coconut juice is taken by the groom/the bride. This signifies the last bath that the bride or the groom will be taking in their bachelorhood/spinsterhood. With the ceremony of 'roce' the wedding celebration really begins. Both bride and bridegroom have to undergo this ceremony in their respective homes.

I will be frank here and say that this was the first roce ceremony for me although I have quiet a few manglorean/goan friends. Needless to say I really had fun shooting this unique ceremony. I wanted to capture the true essence of this ceremony and hence went complete documentary style :)

Becoming a bride - Mumbai Wedding Photographer

As much as I love the sentiments involved through out a wedding ceremony, one of my favorite part is to capture the bride getting ready for her d-day. No matter how stressful the day is with all the coordinating, planning and running back and forth. This is one of those aha moments when she transforms from an ordinary gal to a bride. Yes the make up. the hair, the dress and the jewelery, all do have a part but the sparkle in her face as she gets ready to be joined with her future husband is amazing.

Here a few shots taken from the last wedding :)
