“Lovedon” – A very stylish London pre wedding shoot

June 13, 2014 in E-Session

I have been meaning to blog some of my recent very stylish pre wedding shoots for some time, I just don’t know where the time disappears?! Sachin and Kaveeta;- what can I say about this couple?! We are a match made in photo’g/ client heaven, that what I can say! From the moment we met last year discussing their wedding plans, I knew they just ‘got’ me, they understood my vision and style and what I was about, as I could see it reflected their personalities too. We discussed many themed/ stylised/ editorial concepts for their pre wedding shoot, and had finally settled on a theme and a date for the shoot. I got a call from the couple two weeks before our shoot to say they had changed their minds, though they loved the idea of a themed shoot they said it just didn’t feel ‘them.’ Kaveeta gave me her idea of shooting around London;- a theme and look that has been done many times over. However Kaveeta re assured me saying it would have “the Rima look” lol – and it would look totally different that the usual stereotypical London, touristy type photos.

I have to say how impressed I was with Kaveeta’s research and planing, she had studied my previous editorial type shoots and looked into several different locations and outfits. Kaveeta’s father was even on hand as our personal chauffeur to take us around London for each scene of the shoot. (Even our cars matched! yes we fit like a glove!)

I have so many images from this set and I have tried to narrow it down for this blog, here is what Ive come up with, seriously one of my favorite sessions to date!

Sonia & Shivam: Hindu Wedding at kelham Hall Nottingham

February 7, 2014 in Weddings

Following up on Sonia and Shivam’s beach themed pre wedding session which proved to be quite a popular post this week (check out the feature on the prominent Asian wedding directory My Asian Wed); I present part two;- their Hindu wedding, which was held at the beautiful Kelham Hall in Nottingham.

What I love about Hindu ceremonies the most is the story telling aspect; the rituals performed around the fire and the formation of two families coming together as one unit. I also love the after parties and games, its a real celebration with lots of colours (and emotions) which I of course love!

Also check out this month’s Khush Wedding Magazine, where I am honoured to have a double page feature detailing Sonia and Shivam’s themed pre wedding and Hindu ceremony.

Here are a selection of my favorites from the day!
