Kumaran Rajarathinam

I shot this photo near Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, India. It is a very well know spot for the locals. We were there from early evening, getting a few shots and finally when the sun went down, I set everything up to get this shot that I always wanted to make! The lovely couple, Nivi & Sriram had to hold still for a few seconds, which they did with ease!

This photo was shot in a Tea Estate in Kotagiri, which is near the Queen of Hills in Tamil Nadu, India. The golden hour pictures are always beautiful and I must say that Sowmi an Shiv made my experience even more memorable. The sun was so bright when it came out! It was the brightest golden hour that I've experienced so far!. I set my frame and I asked the groom to take her hand and walk down. Nailed it in the first shot itself!

This photo is very close to my heart. The couple, are my dear friends, Amrita & Nick. This was shot a few days before their engagement at Central park, New york. My wife Nikithaa and I were having a ball of a time doing their outdoor shoot. Amri, my childhood friend was too shy to pose for me while she was posing away to glory for my wife. When I saw this bridge, I asked them to go to the far end of the tunnel and asked Nick to carry her, aaaaannd Voila! :)

I shot this photo at Vieques, Puerto Rico when I was traveling with my wife. It's a self portrait of us. The beautiful Caracas beach, the amazing white sand and the wonderful sunset behind us was such a beauty that one had to see to believe! But, grabbing a silhouette was even better.

This photograph is a Self-portrait of "The love of my life and myself". I shot it in my great grandparent's home in a remote village in the South of India. This photograph is very close to my heart. I've always wanted to do a couple-shoot in this house for the beautiful antique looks that the house holds, maintained beautifully by my Grandmother. The first time I took my wife there, we took a few photos and it turned out to be an amazing experience! Winning the Wedisson award for this photograph is just an out of the world feeling for us and of course, the photographer, ME!

This was the couple's first dance. They danced so gracefully and the whole crowd was on their feet cheering and applauding the wonderful newly weds! This photograph was shot at the finisher.
