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!

Riona and Jonathan

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.

Typical wedding drama, looks like the bride and the groom are exchanging some morscodes as the groom’s dad is guided to sign the registery

We have seen this shot of the bride’s grown over a million times in the magazine, instagram even in movies but we never got a chance to take a picture perfect gown shot! We had to wait to 2019 for a picture perfect dreamy bride’s gown shot.

We have been using Pinterest for over 5 years now and its overwhelming to know that all the hard work that you put in to build a brand on social media is highly rewarding, pinterest is something which wedding photographers in Chennai or even in India for that matter, don’t really use to promote their works, our tribe believes in Facebook and Instagram.

Do check out our page in pinterest for endless scrolls on fascinating weddings and kids portraits, hope our boards inspire you if you are looking for photography inspirations.

Our share in making things viral

If we can claim any of our work has been viral then it should be this one :), our previous experience in anything getting close to viral was this wedding invite video which we did with stop motion effect, it stumbled into Youtube’s recommended videos and till now has close to 6000 views.

Our first maternity photoshoot in Chennai ever, back in 2017. We receive mails regularly whens someone saves our pin and without a doubt this cheese picture from the maternity shoot has been the most saved picture of ours in pinterest. ironically we haven’t done many maternity shoots ever since, until recently. This pi and has been 80,000 views with over 250 saves.

The This, That and What in a Mehndi ceremony

How to Make Your Mehndi Function Fun and Entertaining?

Its the wedding season now! And to plan small events or functions like Mehndi seems to be a task? Isn’t it? But rather than having it the usual way, isn’t it better to make it more fun and more happening?

Well, Mehndi is one of the most common functions amongst all religions in India. The bride sits like the princess, and applies the mehndi, whereas the guests also come in and apply the mehndi and leave. But isn’t this too mundane? Let’s see how to plan a mehndi function that makes it fun and entertaining for both the guests and the bride too!

How about a specific theme decor?

Lately, the decor holds a lot of importance when it comes to small functions like Mehndi, Haldi, and other wedding functions. People spend most of their time understanding how to make the atmosphere and the decor more appealing to make it fun. From marigold to tulips, people usually go with the flowery theme when it comes to Mehndi functions. So, pick a theme, set the color code, and there you go setting the perfect atmosphere for a perfect mehndi function.

How about dress codes?

Well, women aren’t ever too old to dress up, isn't it? So, to make mehndi functions more memorable, how about setting a color code, or dress code? Colors like yellow, green, or dress code like Indo-Western outfits, and more will set in the perfect mood for the perfect event.

Did we hear some music?

Yes, none of the Indian weddings are complete without music. So, download the right mehndi and wedding songs, and let the ladies gather together and shake some Indian thumkas to the beats.

Well, never miss out on props!

Yes, props and photo booths are the new thing that people aren’t bored off yet! So, let the cameraman do wonders by capturing different moments of the guests with different funky, cute, and funny props. Also, photobooths help in creating a unique memory just at your mehndi, so have it all set.

These 4 things can set every mehndi function right. Apart from this do not forget to book the right mehndi artists who can apply beautiful mehndi designs. So, plan the next mehndi function, and make it more dramatic, fun, and entertaining.
