There couldn’t be a better way to start the new year….
Palitana is located in the western Indian state of Gujarat, 51 km south west of Bhavnagar state and famed for its spectacular temple sites, surrounding cities, beautiful beaches (Somnath), and wildlife (Gir Forest).
Being a Jain myself, amongst all the Jain temples, Palitana temples are considered to be the most sacred. Located on Shetrunjaya hills there are 900 temples with over 10,000 statues, exquisitely carved in marble. On this temple no one is allowed to sleep overnight including the priest, because the temple city has been built as an abode for the Gods. The town is considered by many Jains to be more important than the temple covered hills of Bihar, Gwalior, Mt Abu and Girnar. Read more »

We started our journey in the afternoon of a very chilly Saturday morning. After capturing the bride’s getting ready for her big day we went to Chelsea Registry Office followed by the Pochester Hall where preparations were being made for the grand wedding and reception.
After Ash and Janaka’s pre-weddidng shoot in Harrow, we were pretty confident that we would be able to capture some life long moments as their fear of facing the camera no longer existed
The location was just superb and the entire wedding was magnificantly co-coordinated by Mahul and Vishali of Style Occasions which added to the ambience of the evening. Once again it proves that wedding co-ordinators are indeed an integral part of any well planned wedding these days.
We wish the couple very best for their journey together. We really hope that everything goes according to their plan in their traditional wedding in Kerala and in Shri Lanka later this week.
Enjoy some of the moments captured by the team and don’t forget to leave us your comments and best wishes for the couple.

After their grand Hindu Wedding last week, Dipti and Hemant wanted to host a formal wedding reception in Hemant’s home town – Leicester. The couple decided to add the extra glitz and glamor to their party by having a James Bond theme. As they were ‘shaken but not stirred’, the guests made their way to the Champagne reception followed by the most hilarious speeches especially by Hemant’s best man – Oliver
. All guests enjoyed the 007 Fun style Casino Royal Gambling tables and the winner was awarded a special bottle of Champagne.
We hope you will enjoy some of the best moments captured by the team. Once again many many congratulations to the couple and please don’t forget to leave us your comments and best wishes for Dipti and Hemant. Read more »

Sunday day morning and we were on location at the prestigious Assembly Hall, Walthamstow. Considering the wet week we had, we seriously doubted that we would even see a glimpse of sunshine on their big day. However, yet again we were proved wrong and we managed to get a window of about 30 minutes with gorgeous sunshine without a single drop of rain! Yes, we admit it was cold but Hemant made sure that Dipti was kept warm all the time
After the couple’s engagement shoot in London, we were confident that we would be able to capture some superb candid moments as their camera phobia was out of the window. The location was just superb and the entire wedding was very well co-coordinated by Mahul and Vishali of Style Occasions. It certainly ticked all the boxes of why one should have a wedding co-ordinators. The bride and the groom looked simply stunning. We wish the couple very best for their future journey together.
Enjoy some of the ever lasting memories captured by the Candid Photography team. Please make sure you leave us your comments and best wishes for the couple. Also, stay tuned for their next week’s reception photos.
