26th March 2011
So I’ve been really busy and just haven’t had the time to do a post , so the post below is actually from Mitesh. Let’s hope it’s a first of many..:) The day finally arrived 26 March. Poonam had been waiting for this day for as long as I can remember. It’s the day she got married to Sacheen. We started the day off early, and arrived at Poonam's place where we were left with lots of time 2 capture lovely detail shots of her outfit, bangles and other accessories - which I totally love shooting. We patiently await for the arrival of Phindi her makeup artist who we have been seeing a lot lately. Poonam made a gorgeous bride, in a outfit that really sparkled when all the lights were on her. Hema said that “the most romantic bit of the wedding was the little recording Sacheen had playing while she walked in. Sacheen couldn’t get his eyes of his bride and looked for any opportunity to make her laugh”. Because this was a late afternoon wedding we had to rush off as soon as the wedding was over for the location shoot and if any of you follow Hema on twitter this is the wedding she was going on about the 'hay bales', we had chosen a few locations for this wedding, but none of them seemed really wow. Until she spotted these hay bales one afternoon driving home, this was about 3 weeks before this wedding. In the last week I noticed that they had now be stacked next to each other and seemed to be ready for collection. Everyone thinks what the big deal if we had to use another location, but what most peoples don’t get is that we have to wait a whole year to be able to shoot this again and that’s if we have wedding around that times. So with a little bit on hope and luck we managed to use the hay bales as our location. Well to finish Mitesh's post this off, I’m sure we can all agree that Poonam and Sacheen made a very good looking couple and that where ever I shot them the images would still be beautiful. more images Ps: we off on a holiday so my next post will probably be from our amazing adventure in kerala or dubai (if u around the same area send me a message maybe we can do a couples shoot) Make up: Phindi Sound: Mitesh

It was a cloudy morning which turned into a blue sky afternoon. Well till 15min after Shaori made her entrance. Then the grey clouds came rumbling in, with a lot of wind and then the rain started. Well you might think what wrong with a little rain except this was a outdoor wedding.. We shot most to the ceremony being soaked (yes mitesh and i were literally dripping) with immediate family members holding umbrellas over the couple- most of you would think what a disaster but it was rather cute and romantic. Shaori and Himesh were such sports, they never let the bad weather ruin their experience. Luckily we managed to get shots of all décor stuff before. Despite the rain the wedding was so romantic. more images Décor: Aadil 082 735 5559 Venue: Wanderers club 6th February 2011
I’ve known Jeenal since what feels like forever, so to see her get married was strange for me-but that’s always the case when i cover weddings of family or friends. The function went off well and everything was quite relaxed and organised. The stage décor was neat, uncluttered and pretty- its always nice when décor doesn’t take away from the couple. The only thing that was slightly rushed was the couples shoot as I’m sure the grooms party were eager to take their new bride home… I thought Ameet would be shy on location, thou he surprised me and made Jeenal more comfortable. On location we were lucky enough to find pretty purple and white flowers. See images below. Absolutely love the first black and white image- which mitesh took Decor: Exquisite functions Make up: Naina Wow! Thats really all I have to say. I have had many beautiful brides, but Sangita was one of those that my camera just loved- well okay I think she also loved my camera. She loved the noise the shutter made when I clicked. Sangita had chosen to go with a 60’s inspired look- and while shooting her putting her make-up on, I couldn’t help but go outside and show Mitesh what a lovely bride we where about to shoot. Their wedding took place at Makiti, a really pretty venue, though I just felt that the manicured lawns weren’t going to cut it for the couples shoot- because I had ‘spectacular’ in mind and ‘nice’ wasn’t going to be that. While on location the craziest thing happens- a taxi stopped and out of the taxi jumped Felicia Mabuso ( I’m sure you all remember the talk show). She saw Sangita and Harshal in the field and had to stop to get a closer look at the gorgeous couple- random I know..:) Because we decided to do the location shoot last, we had no time limit and that’s why these pictures are so stunning. We certainly wish all weddings could turn out this way :-). Thanks to Mitesh we were lucky enough to find a windmill. I wish you guys all the best for your move to Australia, view more images

This wedding took place in very far place called Louis Trichart +- 450Km from JHB -which by the way is very pretty. Leaving early Saturday morning the journey seemed endless but after arriving to a 35 degree scorching sun in Louis Trichart. i knew we had to look for shady location, as it was going to be a difficult shoot. At the time it seemed that Mitesh’s FB update was proving to be correct. The grooms party was counting on that prediction of 35 degrees clear sky. Well that was not the case on the morning of the wedding it literally poured from the time Priya woke up 3am till about lunch time .Priya looked amazing in a white red and gold outfit. Many would have thought that the rain would spoil the wedding, thou i think nothing can really spoil a day that so special. Priya was not the over expectant bride that needed everything to be just perfect, she just let everything happen an enjoyed the day. I think that when brides expect too much nothing quite lives up to its expectation, so to all my future brides i suggest expect nothing and you will be more then surprised by how lovely the day actually turns out. When i met with Priya and Yateen they knew exactly what i was looking for in terms of location. Considering that we all had a long drive home after the wedding i think we managed to get some amazing images-if i do say so myself...:) btw yateen mama did you ever think that one day i would do your wedding photography....?
