Candid wedding photography – Beautiful Bhopal Brides
[Post by Amrit]
It so happened that in the last 5 weeks, I got to shoot two weddings in Bhopal. Was hired by the would be bride on both occasions. And what beautiful looking ladies they both were. Vasudha and Anuja. I had my own wedding in between these two weddings but that’s a different story.
When working as a business consultant, I chanced to visit Bhopal a few times. We had a guest-house in Shalimar hill where I used to stay always. Very close to that guest-house is one of the best known heritage hotels in the town – Jehan Numa Palace. The place does have a royal feel to it – I know it because both these weddings took place in the same hotel. I didn’t really notice back then (during my guest-house stays) that Bhopal actually is a nice, clean, scenic city. The lakes add to the charm I guess. Anyway, let this post be more about the weddings in Bhopal than Bhopal itself! :) (to view many more pictures, see our Facebook Albums – kinda convenient to put pictures there)
Vasudha, the first bride I shot liked the pics so much, she passed on our whereabouts to a colleague of hers in HT, who would soon be featuring Shaadigrapher in an upcoming wedding special edition of HT later this year. Anuja, the second bride, is yet to see all the pictures, but I have been told she (and her friends have family) have loved the work they have seen so far. I think that’s the ultimate feeling a photographer can have, the feeling of having done a good job at the end of the day. The feeling of having brought that smile on the faces of the couple and rest of them who cam for the wedding. People tell us our pictures look like Bollywood movie shots. I think Indian weddings are that – a series of Bollywood movie shots. And that’s how wedding pictures should therefore look like.
Phew!! By the way, it will take some time for it to sink in that I am myself a married man now. Wonder when will I get the time to sit and process my own wedding pics! Sooner than later. :)

Pre-wedding video – Bollywood style
[Post by Neelabh]
Princy once showed a nice video to Amrit which had a to-be-married couple singing to the tune of a Bollywood song. And the video was almost like a bollywood song itself. ‘It will cost more money than we can really afford. Let’s forget about it’, Amrit had tried consoling Princy. But he never knew, soon he wold be in a position to get something sweet actually shot without the need of hiring any Bollywood crew. Because soon Amrit had turned a Shaadigrapher from a Business Consultant and was himself shooting pics and videos for others. He is still learning new skills every day – and this is a tribute to Amrit and Princy’s sweet little love story – a gift to themselves. And it would surely not have been possible without Ankit agreeing to hold the camera and shoot patiently as Amrit tried hard to come up with expressions (and mostly failed :P). Princy is obviously a natural and extremely camera friendly. No wonder it helped that she had most lines to sing. Hope you guys enjoy it.
By the way, if you need a Bolylwood song based pre-wedding video for yourself, we can do it for you (fee will depend on where and when we want to shoot and what all we do but will range between 70k to even 1 lakh). Let us know. Not for everyone but we are sure some of you out there would die to get something like this to be showcased on say your sangeet. This was a hit at Amrit’s and Princy’s sangeet for sure.
