3 Weddings (Dahanu)

On March 23, 2012, in On Location, Weddings, by Niraj

The final one for the year took me to Dahanu.. a rustic town by the sea, north of Mumbai. I had been to Dahanu once before, about 10 years back and had loved the serenity, the water front and the old world charm. So when Rajlaxmi called up and asked me to cover her wedding there, I instantly agreed. This wasnt going to be about pomp and show; this was a simple wedding in simple town. I shot the Srimant-poojan the evening I reached and the wedding and reception next day. Got some superb shots, one of them being one of the best I ever shot. For me the day wasnt done till I did a couple shoot on the beach. We had very limited time and it didnt go futile.. The couple were great and the sunset over the Arabian ocean made it super romantic..  Here we go..

And as I sit down penning this down on a snowy winter evening in Ottawa, I cant help but reminisce how wonderful all these folks have been to me. I wasnt jus a photographer; I was family. The long chat with Dipanjan on the flight back to Kolkata, the breakfast with Mr Shah at his home in Dahanu.  These were such eventful 3 weeks…
