Creative wedding photos for your Desi wedding
As we all know, South Asian weddings are a multi-day affair, whether it’s a Pakistani wedding or an Indian wedding they typically have anywhere between 3-6 events. Along with the various events comes scheduling and multiple timelines to ensure that you are able to change your hair and makeup, have time for family photos, photos with your guests, and if you’re lucky time to eat and have a drink or two.
There are many must have wedding photos lists out there for weddings that have photos such as ring shot, photo with the parents, photo exchanging rings and the list goes on, but none for an Indian wedding! We know that you wouldn’t just hire someone with zero experience to capture your once in a lifetime event; therefore, anyone that has experience will capture the crucial moments of your wedding day. Instead, have a discussion with your photographer about what is important to you and pick your top 10 wedding photo must haves. Do you want a picture of you holding hands, a goofy one with your friends, one of you and your besties breaking it down on the dance floor? If your photographer is going to capture an Indian wedding or Pakistani wedding for the first time perhaps you can show them a family or friend’s wedding album and highlight the crucial pictures for them.
