Photography has become a very important and irreplaceable part of any wedding. Because a wedding is more than just two people saying ‘I do’. It’s two people coming together, entwining their fates and lives with each other in holy matrimony, ‘Till death do us part’. It’s going round the mandap, hand in hand with the flames as witness to a life sworn with another. It’s the little moments like the slight blush on their cheeks and the tears that are held back only to ultimately flow, all real moments with strong emotions that can transcend the frames and reflect on to others in pictures.

Couples and their family alike have a need to capture each and every moment to remember forever. Some might feel that it can get monotonous. But, the reality isn’t so monochrome as we find out.

Drone Shots
