Our first ever multicultural wedding! We were as excited as the bride and groom this time, an Indo-German wedding and the first event we shot was the Pandhakal.
Sharing some beautiful images from day 01 of the beautiful 3 day wedding which was in a complete south Indian tradition. Check out our complete blog on multicultural wedding for plenty of beautiful stories.
Love is in the air and it doesn’t see cast, creed or religion! Once the hearts unite, the next bigger step is to unite the families. Marriages within the same communities have their own flavors and challenges. It’s no exception to multi-cultural weddings, right? Except that more feathers are added the hat.
These marriages include many varieties like the wedding happening twice at different timings, one after the other on the same day or even blending other the culture in a single wedding. Whatever the option could be, as far as there is love and a sense of celebration – that is all that matters.
One thing guaranteed is that the guests would feel very intrigued to see the versatile rituals and can’t take eyes off the ceremony which usually is not the case in regular weddings where they enjoy the music more than the wedding.;)
Not just to the guests, but it will be fun the intimate family members who are planning as well. After all, it helps to understand each other’s culture on a deeper level. Not to miss, it’s time to taste different cuisine.
Just like any other wedding, this is one fabulous memory for the bride, groom, and the family. It all ends up in having fond memories of feeling love and inclusiveness – isn’t a marriage is all about this?
An Indo-German Wedding: Our first ever multicultural wedding, we were as excited as the bride and groom. The wedding was held in traditional Tamil wedding rituals and the effort and the sincerity the bride’s family showed was unbelievable. One of the images we shot during the couple portrait session won us our first-ever international award that was for couple portrait awards.
An Indo-Chinese Wedding; Though we were not the official photographers for this event, we ended up shooting some beautiful moments for the bride and groom, we were assigned by Andrea’s creations who was behind the beautiful decors in the Church followed by a reception in a star hotel to get the glimpse of the decor and the wedding were which was designed by them.
A beautiful Indo-Chinese wedding!
Tamil - British Couple This was not a wedding, this beautiful couple traveled all the way from UK to get a glimpse of the South Indian Architecture, this was a Pre-wedding couple portrait session, some of the shots we took here won us an award in the Diamond portraits category, this was our third international award!
Multicultural doesn’t always mean wedding from 2 different countries, in a country like India which is extremely diverse or the most diverse culture in the whole world were traveling every 100 kilometers, the wedding culture will be completely different even a wedding of people from 2 different states decides to get married.
In the end, we are all different colours to compliment a single frame!
We were commissioned by the Andrea's Creations and "The wedding professionals" to document their beautiful stage decors, elegant wedding wears, and a few shots of the event for their portfolio, though we were not the official photographers to capture this beautiful multicultural wedding, we managed to capture some stunning shots of this elegant multicultural wedding.
When we received an enquiry from the United Kingdom to do a pre-wedding photo shoot in Chennai, little did we expect that we would end up producing such magical images? It might sound a bit ironic & funny but in spite of doing over 30+ pre-wedding couple shoots in Chennai, this is our first ever photo shoot in Mahabalipuram! One main reason why we avoided to shoot in the most hyped Shore temple in Mahabalipuram was it had become such a cliched spot! But we were wrong for all these years and as mentioned in the Bible There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens and we had to wait for all these years for a couple from London to take us to the classic Shore temple which was lying next door.
As photographers what we love to capture is not the typical couple poses in front of monuments but magical, candid moments of the couple, which we believe is the most challenging thing to do and with a classic background like the shore temple it makes it even more majestic.
Though each and every shoot that we do is special, some shoots are even more special. From early morning shots in Mahabalipuram to other locations in Chennai, making a wedding invite and finally taking a picture with Chennai's own AUTORIKSHA!
From referring some of the famous pre-wedding shoots in the shore temple, we guess these pictures will be used as a reference.
We sincerely thank the couple for travelling all the way to India to do a pre-wedding shoot here in Chennai - choosing us, over other premier wedding photographers in India and most importantly deciding to do a Photoshoot in Mahabalipuram.
When both of them are from distinctive cultural backgrounds, fitting in their individual traditions into the wedding scenes is the bridge which connects the gaps between both the families. In the past one year we have done more Multicultural Weddings than ever before, here is our take on the beautiful Multicultural wedding.
