Jugal & Cowshi - Tamil and Gujrati Hindu Indian Wedding, The Savoy, London

in

After spending 3 full days with Jugal and Cowshi in Jaipur in October, time had flown and it was now time to photograph their Tamil and Gujrati fusion wedding at the prestigious The Savoy, London.  

After doing a site check with the couple a few months prior to the wedding, I was blown away with the amount of detail that had gone into making sure the venue looked as grand as the name. A beautiful mandip surrounded by fresh flowers, a custom made 3D printed art piece as the mandip backdrop and the pastel colours through the room which all came together with the intricate detail of The Savoy’s Lancaster Ballroom to set the scene for a beautiful ceremony. 

This was my first time shooting a Tamil wedding and what an experience it was! I’m going to stop going on and let you see how the day unfolded…

Sebbi & Aman - Sikh Wedding Ceremony, Guru Nanak Sikh Academy, London

in

Following on from Sebbi and Aman’s Pre Wedding Shoot, I had the pleasure of shooting their wedding after having such a fun time for their destination pre wedding shoot in Venice.

With Sebbi being a photographer, the pressure was on to get something different for the wedding coverage. With Sebbi and Aman being dedicated Sikh’s, they conducted their stunning Sikh wedding ceremony (Anand Karaj) at Guru Nanak Sikh Academy in Hayes.

The day started off with perfect weather; clear blue sky’s with the sun beaming down on us which is rare for wedding photography in London. As perfect as the weather was, it made shooting anything outside extremely challenging (here’s where it gets technical).

With the highlights of the image being so light and the shadows of the images being so dark, it was tough trying to balance them both to make the picture not too bright/dark and to ensure I had enough detail in the image to balance it properly in post production.

Luckily, me being a Nikon user, the Nikon D750 is absolutely amazing in retaining details in shadows and with the incredible dynamic range (amount of colour information a camera can store) I was able to capture all the detail of the image using the histogram while shooting then edit the images to bring back everything I needed.

With a lively groom entrance, the rest of the day followed with smiles and laughter and beautifully calm wedding ceremony which the couple truly deserve.
