Pooja + Varun - A Tamil Wedding in Chennai

july 2014

 

Pooja and Varun are childhood sweethearts from California and when they contacted me for their tamil wedding which was to be held in Chennai, I was super excited to get on board! I met Pooja just the day before their 3-day celebration was to begin and I instantly knew I was in for an amazing shoot. The schedule - mehndi, sangeet, the wedding and a reception.  

The mehndi was held at their sprawling house in Kilpauk and boy, do I love house parties! I'll let the photos do the talking from here.

 It was a delight shooting Pooja and Varun's biggest 3 days of their lives, frame by frame. These images remind me why I started shooting weddings  - the satisfaction of being a part of people's happiness and to be able to capture it for them. :)

Happy New Year y'all.
