Peacock inspired decor and Gold themed wedding

Jun 15, 2010 Celebrity Wedding Pictures, Wedding Photographers

Devika Jain, daughter of the owner of theatre chain Inox Leisure Ltd married Mumbai based business tycoon Ambuj Chaturvedi. Here are the pictures of the Peacock theme decor at the Mehendi held in JW Marriott, Mumbai; and the Gold theme decor at the wedding at the Taj Lands End.

A look at the wedding pictures reveals that elaborate structures and huge set-ups continue to be sought-after. We loved the bride’s red and gold bridal ensemble; and though we’re not a great fan of grooms who go for the ‘over the top’ look, this groom, we thought looks good in glittery gold! The beautiful photographs are courtesy Delhi-based Bankim Jain. For all the wedding functions, Bankim Jain and his team managed the high-defination videography and photography.

Memories in Motion

Jun 10, 2010 Marriage & Wedding Trends, Wedding Photographers

Mili and Sid of Memories in Motion, spend nearly 300 to 400 hours, to produce for their wedding clients a Bollywood-style film. The bride, groom and their families get to experience the process of film making at a full production level, and get to star in the movie directed and edited by Memories in Motion!

Mili, a communications and journalism major and her husband Sid, an IIT graduate who teaches at the University of Illinois started the boutique cinematography outfit in 2005, when they saw the potential for niche high-end cinematography for South Asian weddings. They don’t take on too many clients every year, but they innovate on production and post-production every season. Says Mili: “Just recently we did a same-day edit of a morning wedding. So at the evening reception, the guests got a visual treat—a beautiful video showcasing the couple’s love story, and edits of the morning wedding function which many had not attended.”

Mili and Sid have filmed Indian weddings all over the world, but their favorite location is Udaipur. They recently filmed the wedding of a couple named Roshni and Suchet at Zenana Mahal and Jagmandir Palace in Udaipur which featured performances by Daler Mehndi and Rodney.


They have also started offering concept short films based on the bride and groom’s love stories- and this is something most couples love to screen at one of their wedding events. Here’s the link to the wedding video of Champaign, IL based Amandeeo & Supreet.


And Los Angeles based Reshma and Harsheel.

Ace Wedding Photographer Luke Walker talks couple Portraits.

May 14, 2010 Wedding Photographers

“This is so much Fun”.
Ace Wedding Photographer Luke Walker on how he gets great couple Portraits.

Before Sunset is the best
All my engagement shoots start around an hour and a half before sunset.  The light during that time is amazing, that soft buttery end of the day light is like nothing else.  The temperature makes you comfortable as well.  If we shoot at noon then it’s hot, we sweat and the lighting is extremely bright.

Finding new Inspiration
For most engagement shoots I send the bride and groom a list of ideas, themes, and locations.  I’m always trying to find new inspiration.  When an idea hits me for something different and unique I jot it down, I share them with the couples and if they like it, we use it.

Encourage them to have a conversation
Most people come into our shoots with at least a little bit of intimidation.  It’s completely normal to be a bit on edge about getting professionally photographed, especially because most of us relate professional pictures with getting our senior portraits in high school and that’s really it until we get married.  I usually start my shoots off with suggestions for poses, or places to stand and sit.  The suggestions and guiding so to speak change from couple to couple.  But the overall approach is to put people in beautiful light, suggest a way for them to either walk, sit, stand, and then encourage them to simply look at each other and have a conversation. I tell them to just chat with each other about the wedding plans or about something funny that happened at work.  I emphasise: “Don’t look at me.  You’re on a date and we’re taking an hour to enjoy ourselves in a beautiful night.”  Everyone takes time to let that barrier down but by the end of the shoot it’s always the same “I was really nervous about this, but honestly this was a lot of fun!”

Big Fat Celebrity Weddings Photographed by Bankim Jain

May 13, 2010 Celebrity Wedding Pictures, Wedding Photographers

Bankim Jain’s clients include the who’s who from the world of Business, Politics and Corporate India. Some of the wedding clients of the Delhi-based photographer and videographer include Sabeer Bhatia, Ayaan Ali Bangash, Dr Naresh Trehan, Chirayu Amin (the IPL Chairman) and the Munjal family.

So what’s the biggest challenge in working with such high profile families? Says Bankim Jain: “The biggest challenge, whichever wedding you’re shooting is that you have to improvise and innovate according to the situation. There are no retakes in wedding….once the emotion, the ritual or ceremony is over, it’s done. So, it takes immense alertness and presence of mind to shoot weddings in the best possible manner.”

Presenting below Bankim Jain’s wedding work. To connect with Bankim Jain log on to www.bankimjain.com

Something Special on Mother’s Day

May 11, 2010 Wedding Photographers

Sephi Bergerson, noted Delhi based Photographer writes about an incredible experience—a wedding at his own home, on Mother’s Day.

It is not every day that we have a wedding at home, and this one was actually on our roof. We live in a quiet neighborhood in the center of Delhi and have a big roof overlooking the park. Asha, our trusted and beloved cook/house manager since many years, had gotten her daughter married and we were happy to be the hosts.

Sunday is usually a day off for us as well as the house staff. This Sunday was obviously different for Asha. She came in the morning and was busy cooking all day. The best ‘mattar paneer’ and ‘chhole chawal’ I have tasted in a long while. Her daughter Leena, the bride came a little later and was busy getting her makeup done in my daughter’s room. Shefi, my wife, helped with the veil and gave the last touch, and I took pictures obviously. The intimate function was attended by few family and friends. Everyone was super happy although in an Indian wedding it usually translated into tears. “It is mother’s day today, and this is my present for my mother” said Leena wiping her eyes. Asha was sobbing. Here it is in a nut shell.
