It took me three meetings to realize how tall Lovita & Melrick are. I am not sure how I could miss that. But what I didn't miss is how warm & genuine they were as people, including their families. The real star of this wedding however was Lovita's five month old niece! Death By Cuteness, if I may call it?

Melrick is a Superman fan & didn't want that part to be ignored in the wedding story. So it was time for me to collaborate with another photographer & I was thrilled to rope in my friend Eddie who apart from being a wedding photographer also makes films for Jordindian & Wilbur Sargunaraj. Oh and he shot my wedding too! So here's a small preview from this intimate wedding that we captured few weeks back.

Photography: Elvin Jacob & Ernest Edison
MUA: Tanya Valsaraj / Nyara Salon & Spa
Wedding Venue: Bethel AG Church
Reception Venue: Mövenpick Hotel & Spa

”I remember our walk back to the car after meeting Elvin for the first time and turning to Lovita and saying, ‘I really like this guy. He was so calm throughout the entire meeting’. One of the first few things you will notice about Elvin is his ability to put you at ease. Elvin ran us through an overview of the chain of events that we could look forward to on our wedding day. With every additional step came a verbal assurance that everything would be taken care of. We first looked at some of his wedding photo sets on Facebook before we contacted him. We really liked his work before meeting him. But more importantly liked him as an individual after meeting him which was the tipping point in the decision-making process. 

Elvin has a blend of candid photography that manages to capture real to life moments, not something that is staged. Expressions and emotions bleed out into every shot. Elvin also enjoys playing with colors, but believe me when I say this, some of the best photos were the ones that had no colour in them. Last and most importantly, having fun throughout the wedding experience is also something Elvin stresses on. And we did! Elvin and his friend Eddie (Ernest Edison) were incognito at the wedding - almost ninja like. And this is an amazing thing. Looking back at the wedding photos, every essential moment had been perfectly captured that left us wondering how and when were these photos taken. It was a real refreshing stroll down memory lane looking at the hundreds of photos that were taken. Every moment, silly and otherwise will be captured and that is something that we today can personally vouch for with Elvin. “ - Lovita & Melrick
