This photo was taken during Mark and Becca's secret elopement in Paris. The two of them also snuck away to Paris and had us capture their elopement. They had an intimate ceremony in their Airbnb. Prior to the ceremony we photographed around popular Paris sites, in search of a different perspective on the Eiffel Tower.
I saw the mirror reflecting the stairs as soon as I walked into the room, but due to the placement of guests I didn't know if it would pan out. The ideal place to stand for symmetry also had chairs placed there. After taking my last few shots upstairs I looked back down to see the sea of faces looking back up towards the staircase, and I knew I had to make it happen. Normally I try to work and shoot around, through and in between whatever is present, but part of the appeal of this photo to me was the even placement. So, two guests were thanked for letting me squeeze and to move their seats for this one photo. I knew straight away I got the result I wanted.
What a great day we had in February in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. It was a cold and windy day, but the skies were great. On the moment we took this picture the sun was there for only a couple of minutes.The love story of this wedding couple is very special. They have so many stories and memories about the relationship. One of their lovely stories is the proposal. The groom asked his bride on this spot on a very special way. Because this marriage was intimate and small with only their family, you feel the love every minute. Their love story will be continuing with so many new memories. I feel very special that I could capture this moment.
Daile & Nando are two people with just a huge heart; two very loved human beings with endless amounts of love to give back. The sea has played a big roll in their relationship. It's their favorite place, especially the one in this piece, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, where Nando proposed to Daile. Here, surrounded by salty water, reef and the sky; embraced by God's great creation. I, at first sight of this paradise, never doubted this would be the best place to capture the past, present and future of their beautiful life together. (Note: If it's possible to place the complete photograph without cropping, I would truly appreciate it since every space inside this frame means a lot to me.
This image was captured at Priya and Dipesh's reception during the cake cutting. It is a picture that defines my photography- capturing natural moments and expressions that will stand the test of time. The couple were gazing into each others eyes showing their love for one another and at the same time we had some beautiful light shining into the marquee behind them giving the image that ethereal feel. Thank you to Priya and Dipesh for this beautiful moment.
The location happens to be at backwaters near Mangalore, India. I must say the couple were very interesting and open to ideas. The bride & groom was more than willing to experiment. This shoot happens to be the most challenging one. This was shot with long exposure.
Two of the major challenges were the fire wool works and the water. Reason being the water was never stable which in turn kept moving the boat and in addition to this the person handling fireworks had to keep safety in mind and in the process kept moving the boat which was used as support for him to carry out his work. After one and half hour, we were able to pull it off. Must say this experience redefined patience.
This photo was taken during a Bridal styled photo shoot that we do in off wedding season as practice and experimentation ground held at Cecil Green Park in Vancouver Canada. It was a candid capture when Christine (the model) was posing for a couple of fellow photographers in this main hall, I wanted to create something unique from the rest, looked at this beautiful chandelier hanging and started exploring the possibilities of including it with the bride in a creative way. I took the stairs from side leading to this upper level corridor from where the hall was viewable, Christine was totally unaware and so were the fellow photographers of this move and I shot from above where I could balance the chandelier and the bride diagonally in a pleasing composition.
