Swapna + Ravi | Wedding

Swapna and Ravi were my first major clients and had booked me about a little over a year ago. Swapna had contacted me after seeing some images I had shot for a friend of mine -- who incidentally was an old schoolmate of hers. This wedding quickly became a multi-faceted challenge...

Originally, I had been contracted for 8 hours of coverage over the span of 2 days. This, pretty much at the last second, became a little over 18 hours over 4 days. The first 2 days were in-house celebrations and rituals, the 3rd day was the actual morning wedding ceremony and evening reception, and the 4th day was the bride's welcoming ceremony. Swapna texted me at 2:30AM, just as I was about to sleep after 12 hours of shooting the wedding and reception. She told me that the welcoming ceremony the next morning had been moved up by an hour. S2S Photography was there even earlier. 

Then the biggest challenge:

I had originally promised them a 48 hour proof turn around time. Turns out, they were leaving the day after on their honeymoon to South Africa for a few weeks and really wanted to take the pictures with them. This gave me half the time to take care of a job that had become twice the size. Swapna had her proofs before her flight.

The following pictures are from the 3rd and 4th days:
