Smita & Shounak: Mumbai Marathi-Malayam Wedding


Exchange of a few mails over the span of 10 hours (different time zones - IST & GMT), no negotiation and the dates are blocked. I wish every photographer gets such clients!



Smita & Shounak's was a Mallu - Maharashtrian wedding, Smita being a Mallu and Shounak a Maharashtrian. They had decided that they'll be having both Mallu and Maharshtrian style wedding. *WIN WIN*



The Mallu wedding is perhaps the shortest variety, lasting all of ten minutes with the main attraction being the sadhya that follows :P Right before the wedding there was the kalynanam where the bride and groom are escorted by womenfolk rounded up with thalams- plates carrying flowers, rice, a small lamp and other such items followed by exchange of garlands.







Cross culture weddings are always full of surprises and hearty laughs. To give you an example, during the Mallu style wedding when Shounak was supposed to tie Smita the mangalsutra or the thali we think he got majorly confused looking at it and merrily went ahead by wearing it around his own neck. (Thali is a small leaf shaped pendant with a yellow thread)


















The Maharashtrian style wedding and Shounak's ear to ear grins =]










Both Smita & Shounak wanted a quirky photo shoot with their parents and close friends against a retro backdrop with some killer props. I think this photo (bombing) shoot lasted much much longer than the Mallu wedding :P 
Many happy faces, many many GIF's ended with some trippy business :) Enjoy!















We had no intention of making this video, it was purely a result of some experiments we did with the pictures on FCP which turned out to be crazy

  8. Once you have chosen your Orlando videography and photographer , make sure to communicate your expectations and ask questions. Discuss your budget, the type of footage you would like captured, and any other details that will help your wedding videographer capture your special day.
