Hindu Weddings in Kerala are famously short. They are simpler, calmer and quite often, very relaxed. Anupama & Vineeth got married in a similar and traditional ceremony in Trivandrum’s Shanghumugham Devi Temple. Upon checking the timestamps, I realized that the actual wedding ceremony lasted just over 10 minutes! This duration isn’t even enough for a warmup in many Indian wedding ceremonies. And here, the entire wedding ceremony was over!

During the wedding, I befriended Veda and Vihaan - Vineeth’s niece and nephew, respectively. And they turned out to be pretty good with the camera for their age. In fact, some of the photos they took ended up in the final wedding set. Cool huh?! :)

”Having Elvin around was one of the highlights of our wedding day. He is an extremely calming and friendly presence to have around on one of the more stressful days in life. Not once did we have to fake being in love :-) or indulge in artificial displays of affection. We felt like his pictures literally weaved a story, often through capturing waves of emotions and candid moments. (the cutely awkward ones were particularly awesome!). Moreover, the kids love him and his Harry Potter-esque style! This guy even nice enough to give them some basic photography lessons amid all the chaos. To sum up his work, Elvin has an eye for seeing beauty in the most unlikely of places and moments, capturing your uniqueness as a family/couple.” - Anupama & Vineeth

You know that feeling you get when you are a senior in college, and you see a fresher/junior absolutely worth crushing on, walk in through the college gates? Most guys know exactly how this feels! Even if the guy musters enough courage to go speak to her, chances of something concrete materializing between them is quite bleak. Well, not in this case! What started off as a casual friendship, blossomed into a beautiful relationship between these two architects. I wish I could record their couple shoots because a good chunk of what they spoke would qualify as proper standup comedy material! :) But for now, I think the photos will suffice!

”Working with Elvin was an absolute joy!!!

While looking out for a photographer, we wanted someone who would really capture the memories without the added posing and fanfare, and Elvin truly did just that. Thanks to him we have a lovely album full of memories to treasure. He also did our pre wedding photoshoot and for two people who are mostly behind the camera clicking pictures of buildings this was the first time we enjoyed being in front of the camera. Elvin is someone who makes sure your comfortable with the camera and hes just there at the right place at the right time to capture just that ridiculous smile,the subtle gestures and everything in between.

Here's wishing you all the best in capturing a lot more precious memories” - Anna & Riju
