About this collection
A palace wedding is visually stunning, but the scale requires specific planning. We start by scouting your venue—whether it is the sprawling lawns of Rambagh Palace or the lakeside architecture of Udaipur—to map out the light at golden hour. My team and I focus on balancing these grand settings with intimate portraits, ensuring your personality remains the focus amidst the historic architecture.
Photographing a destination wedding in Rajasthan is an exercise in managing grand scale and intimate emotion. The architecture is heavy, historic, and often overwhelming, which is why I prioritize breathing room in every frame.
We often shoot during the golden hour to soften the harsh desert light, turning the iconic domes and courtyards of venues like The Oberoi Udaivilas or Fairmont Jaipur into painterly backgrounds.
My Approach to Heritage Shoots
- Editorial Curation: My mother, Nisha, consults on styling to ensure your bridal wear—be it a heavy lehenga or a sharp ensemble—complements the specific heritage palette of the palace.
- Lighting: I bring portable lighting setups for evening shots. This is essential for night portraits against illuminated palace walls where natural light fails.
- Logistics: For destination shoots, I travel with a compact team to maintain the editorial rhythm. We block time for location scouting the day before to identify the exact spots for sunrise or blue hour shots.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you travel for Rajasthan weddings? Yes, I am based in Mumbai but travel extensively across Rajasthan for weddings in Udaipur, Jaipur, and Jodhpur.
- How do we handle venue permits? I assist with directing the shots, but clients are responsible for securing and paying for venue entrance fees and photography permits.
Let’s create a visual legacy that feels as grand as the venue itself.
