The Charm of a Court Wedding: A Unique Experience

We all must admit that most of us men have at least once or more have fantasized about getting married in a court. The brevity, simplicity, and yes, the savings coupled with the absence of long guest-lists and annoying relatives make it an icing on the cake. While I didn’t have the fortune of getting married in the court, my long-cherished desire to cover a court wedding was fulfilled through a client reference.

Capturing the Court Wedding of Wildlife Conservationists

Receiving an enquiry from Hans Dalal was a moment of privilege. The groom and the bride, both wildlife photographers working for the preservation of wildlife at Tadoba National Park, Maharashtra, chose us to capture their special day. It’s always an honor when photographers select you to shoot their wedding, even more so when they are such distinguished individuals dedicated to making this world a better place.

Wedding Stories of Conservationists

Hans, despite suffering from cerebral palsy, was a sound engineer who worked on many Bollywood scores before diving into wildlife conservation. The bride, Avantika Chandra, previously engaged in the airline industry with KLM, collaborated with Hans to start their NGO – PROWL. Their story is not just about their wedding but about their journey together towards conservation and community service.

Engagement in Mumbai

Wedding is a celebration that brings together the dearest of one’s relations with a reason to rejoice the new bond between two people. In the Indian culture these reasons are multiplied by having several facets to them. Engagement being the smaller promise to commit with each other for a lifetime, is the first of the many days of excitement to wedding. Photographing an engagement, which is more personal, has its own charm. Especially when the family is known and the environment is so humble. After shooting Nishita’s Tulsi Vivaah it was more exciting to photograph his brother Saahil’s engagement with the gorgeous to-be bride, Shivani. The engagement happened in a Lakshmi Narayan temple in Vile Parle. Just like a snapshot from a fairytale, Saahil went down on his keens to propose Shivani. The two began their journey towards a new life with the blessings of their family and friends. The wide smiles and vibrant joy on everyone’s faces, lit up the engagement day, blessing Saahil and Shivani the best to come!
