Love Notes

Shooting for weddings has taught us one thing - there is one and only one person who is meant to be there for you.

While the newer generation is bold enough to go out and decide for themselves who is their perfect choic is, there are few who get connected by the threads of an "Arrange Marriage". No matter how fearsome marrying a stranger may seem to an outsider, for them this was all that they needed. One could see the love that they had for each other, just by looking at how they smiled, one of the best weddings we have ever shot, Sunil and Sheetal's wedding video will take you over a charismatic story, way beyond your imagination.

Two strangers, Sunil and Sheetal meet as prospective life partners in a not so comfortable meeting arranged by their parents. However even in difficult conditions, they decided to get married, something clicked between them from the very beginning. Technology came to their rescue and slowly those late night conversations became a part of their daily routine and eventually they fell in love. And then they confessed. Any guesses how? On a Rikshaw ride through the crowded lanes of Chandani Chowk.

There are people who look for moments to express and then there are people like Sunil and Sheetal who have the ability to make any moment, however absurd it is, look beautiful. Folks, Love doesn't need a perfect place or a good time; all it needs is the ability to be in love and the ability to assure your better half that you mean everything that you say.

Talking about the wedding, well the families left no stone unturned to be the perfect hosts. The traditional Indian style dominated their ceremonies and everything was done to best of their abilities. The team personally got so engrossed in capturing each and every moment, that they shot for 20 hours each day. We did have our share of the utterly delicious and lip smacking delicacies that the wedding offered.  

Words may fall short yet we won't be able to  stop, there is so much for us to write and convey but let's say, the video has it all. Let's go through the love notes shared between Sunil and Sheetal; let's watch their magical journey.
