The great thing about being able to spend time with a couple before the wedding is that on the big day, you feel more like part of the family rather than a wedding photographer. That feeling of being included and welcome is important especially when I get invited to be part of a culture that I’m not very familiar with. I’ve always felt that Indian weddings are perfectly suited to my style because I LOVE bright colours and emotive action-packed images. These weddings have everything I could ever ask for and more!…

Before their wedding day, I got to spend half a day with Rushil and Priyal and during that pre-wedding shoot I’d quickly found out that these two have quite a beautiful love story. One that started with them as childhood friends in Kenya, moving and experiencing life on different continents and eventually finding each other once again. These two are open, humble and conscientious individuals. Over coffee we discussed their reasons for being vegetarians and how they make choices in life with careful consideration of the world and people around them. I really learned a lot and at times forgot we were out to take photos.
