We kick-start our very first wedding assignment for 2011 in Baroda, Gujarat India last week with our Sydney-based couple, Kanav and Disha. It was a wonderful journey; as we have been waiting for today for quite a while. No doubt it involved quite a bit of travelling; we flew in from KUL-Delhi-Baroda(Gujarat), nevertheless we enjoyed our trip, as we were fortunate to have the opportunity to see a fair bit of Delhi city and experience the peaceful lifestyle  and the nice weather of Baroda. It’s rather a different experience.

Kanav who is a punjabi, while Disha a gujarati, has decided to have a truly gujarati wedding back in Disha’s hometown, Baroda. Having met the lovely couple back in November in Sydney for the first time, we thought to ourselves that they are rather a shy, quiet and gentle type of couple. Yes, Disha is such a nice, simple and adorable girl; whilst Kanav is rather the shy, cool and mr. nice guy type. Well at least that was our first impression. Little did we know that Kanav is not the exact shy guy that we thought he was when we shot their wedding. Kanav, is indeed one interesting groom. He is super outgoing, super cool, super considerate, super nice and super cute. They are simply outgoing and definitely know how to enjoy themselves. Boy, we were shocked to see them on the dance floor, knowing their knack. Well, not just them, the whole bunch of their relatives and friends enjoyed themselves to the fullest, kanav’s best buddies would hike up the atmosphere by expressing their fullest blessing to the newly-wed with singing and dances! It was quite intimate and personal, fun-filled wedding. We had much fun shooting their wedding; apart from disha and kanav’s hospitality, disha’s dad has always been there to ensure that we’re doing okay, he would chat with us when he sees us, and he’s one cute and adorable dad. Now we see where Disha’s adorable gene comes from.

Ps: Thank you so much again to Kanav, Disha, both family members and friends for the great hospitality, generosity, care and attention during our stay in Delhi and Baroda. Was truly a new experience. Finally, we wish you both a happy married life!  =))

Jai and ashley (our gujarati couple from UK) has the most unique fairy tale love story. When i first read their story over the email, i was shocked that my eyes nearly popped out! I was reading in disbelief coz it was the most romantic love story i’ve ever read, and in my heart i thought to myself that this couple must be some handsome prince and gorgeous princess to have such fairy-tale love story. True enough, when we first met them in mumbai, jai appeared to be the gorgeous, petite, sweet and kind-hearted gal; whilst ashley appeared to be the tall, handsome, gentleman and down-to-earth guy!! Lol… This couple are so deeply and madly in love with each other that they are inseparable, so lovingly-attached to one another; enjoy every minute and second of each other’s company.

When we asked why they would like to have their private gujarati wedding in mumbai, and their answer was that wedding is something very personal and that they wish to keep that private moments to themselves; and have everyone to celebrate their wedding on their reception later back in UK. And prior to having their traditional indian wedding ceremony in mumbai, jai and ashley had their marriage registration done in Las Vegas!!! This couple has their lives full of surprises everyday and he/she will never know where or when he/she will fly her/him to some surprise destinations.

This was our best mumbai trip ever, all thanks to candice and jarret from marrymeweddings — a wonderful couple, our future client, and the best wedding planner in mumbai, for arranging everything for us from being our supplier to becoming our friends in just that short few days duration!! To top it up, jai and ashley has also become more of friends than our client. It was simply marvellous, all 6 of us, 3 gals & 3 guys, and all 3 couples – 1 married and 2 soon-to-be-wed couples!!

Thanks jai and ashley for being so accommodative and friendly to us, we look forward to seeing you in UK. =)
