Beside the purple ridges of the dense Aravalli hills stretching in every direction, and the shimmering lake Pichola, Udaipur has an unmatched romance in Rajasthan and in all of India too. Magnificent palaces, temples, mansions, tranquil boat rides, bustle of the ancient bazaars and timeless streets add beauty to this city’s natural splendour. Tagged as one of the most romantic spot on the continent, one can not argue much about it. Undoubtedly, there is so much love in the air that makes Udaipur as one of the most sought after wedding destinations. When we went out to shoot Sushant & Vaishnavi, we had so much time and space that helped us to frame timeless portraits of the couple in exquisite locations. The dress, mood, lighting - everything just fell in place. Like this shot we framed at the Ahar Museum. How do you like it?

Like a dream within a dream, it was a scintillating experience to orchestrate this silhouette shot of the lovely couple Karthik & Shravya, with Sony A7 II. It is always intriguing when we place art on the center stage and take time to bring out the best of the moment. We were at the ITC Grand Chola. Surpassing the normal spots, I found a passageway to a cellar/bar that had all the ingredients for a dramatic image—symmetric, lit arches, patterned walls and a mysterious glass door with patterns at the far end. I could have settled for a “well-lit” image with the couple properly exposed—but that wasn’t my vision. I wanted to make a breathtaking image that highlighted the beauty of the walls, the lights and the arches, and the interesting door—besides drawing interest to the couple. With a single speed light and lots of excitement, I tried this shot. I wanted to bring out the mystic feel of love. It did come out well in the end.
