Nikhil & Saranya | Hindu Kannadiga - Tamil Brahmin Wedding | Temple Tree Farms, Bengaluru

Ok so I have to confess. I really tried to pun Lawyers and Lovers for this blogpost. I really did. But I failed. So go ahead - Sue Me!

Coming back to Nikhil’s and Saranya’s wedding - Both of them are lawyers and pretty sure quite popular. ‘Cause they had as many friends as other wedding guests at their wedding! Friends from school, college and work came together to attend their beautiful wedding at the Temple Tree Farms in Sahakarnagar, Bengaluru.

Like my sense of humour, monsoons also threatened to ruin the wedding. The venue for the Sangeet was a beautiful outdoor one. But a sudden downpour forced everyone indoors. Nikhil and Saranya however put up a brave face against both these ‘natural calamities’. Their friends chipped in with some heavy but graceful cardio disguised as dance. And it was mission accomplished with the Sangeet.

Saranya’s adorable set of school friends danced beautifully and later told us that they danced badly - just like those class toppers from school who’d would write answers to everything in the question paper but would later tell their mortal classmates (like me) that they will fail. I refuse to be fooled again like this.

Big shoutout to Vibin Venugopal (Founder of Headless Hippies) who connected Nikhil & me. I had shot Vibin’s wedding in 2016 and the things he did ahead of the wedding were quite interesting. Check his story out here.

Svana & Santosh | Hindu Kannadiga Wedding | Fiestaa Resort, Bengaluru

Svana & Santosh joined the gym separately with the sole intention of walking out fit. While they did walk out fully toned, neither of them expected to meet, fall in love and walk out of the gym with another fully toned person!

Spread over three days, the couple celebrated their coming together in front of an intimate crowd  of family and friends.  I've got to mention the bride's niece Zola here, who was the most popular girl (after the bride of course!) on those three days! We even discussed Peppa Pig, after the wedding! :)

Lastly, special thanks to Nilma Dileepan from With Love, Nilma :) Thankoo!

”Elvin’s pictures of our wedding day will always be the best memories that Santosh & I love to relive again and again. When Santosh & I decided to get married in 2 months we had great help from my family to arrange everything within such a short time. Amongst all the important things to be arranged having an awesome photographer was so important for us. And we had just one month to "the day" when we found Elvin, and luckily he was available for our dates. 

I'm so happy he covered our big day because he managed to click all the happiest moments in the family that happened for 3 continuous days. I feel like he did not miss even one smile or even one moment. I've heard that sometimes photographers forget to click some important moments but Elvin not only covered all the scenes I think he managed covering behind the scenes as well and all single-handedly. Really after the wedding there is always this exciting wait for the photographs and video graphs. When our wedding photos and videos came out we were surprised and so happy with the quality of emotions in every picture. He is not overpriced like the other photographers out there and his talent is excellent too. Bangalore needs more wedding photographers like Elvin Jacob” - Svanna & Santhosh
