About Vibrant Beginnings: Haldi & Pre-Wedding Rituals

I don't just stand back and click. During the Haldi, I am right in the middle of the mess with you, looking for those unscripted, chaotic laughs. You might hear me telling everyone to just ignore the camera and dive into the fun, because that is when the best photos actually happen—not when you are posing for them.
