My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.
~Richard Avedon
Photography comes effortlessly to me. It changes the way I feel about everything around me... It's a Celebration... of Immense Love, Innumerable Relationships, New Togetherness and Unbreakable Promises...
Capturing fleeting emotions at their helm is what I try to do. Picturing laughters, and crying through the same tears, alongwith everyone present at a wedding, somehow brings a tremendous amount of satisfaction and joy to me. I feel humbled, blessed and grateful to be a part of every wedding that I have been to.
I thank every couple & their respective families N friends, who have welcomed me into their celebrations, on one of the most important days of their lives, and made me feel like I am family & have known them for years.
A lot of times I have been asked if I get overwhelmed during weddings when I see so many emotions running haywire. And I always tell people, that I do: I laugh with the bride, I cry with the parents, and I gossip with the friends... For that one day, I am everyone's best friend and everyone's gossip girl.. Its the trust and the love that every family has bestowed upon me and my team members at every wedding, that makes me want to go through all the emotions, over again, one more time...
Passion is nothing but a compelling emotion and living those emotions, with another pair of dove-eyed lovebirds, another set of marvelous families, another set of tantrums, is all like a dream come true for a Sagittarian in me. Its takes me to a whole different level of happiness... And all this and much more... is yet to be experienced... Another day, another time and another place...
So see you, real soon...
