Mallika & Raj’s Wedding Day – Part 1 of 3 (Hindu Ceremony)
We met Mallika & Raj through a loved one. Upon our first meet up we truly fell in love with these guys. Such a genuine couple, who couldn’t be any more perfect for each other.
After we decided to head to London for their pre-wedding shoot, as they met and work in Tower Hill. We created a behind the scenes video of this day. It was so much fun.
A pre-wedding shoot is perfect, as there is time to play with to get creative and produce beautiful imagery. It’s a chance for us to form a close relationship with our couples and time for couples to get to know how we work, first hand. Mallika & Raj decided to use these images on the DJ slideshow setup during their evening wedding reception.
Their Hindu ceremony wedding day was to take place at Braxted Park in Essex. It was an early start, with Mallika’s preparations starting at 5am! Everyone was to arrive for 8am sharp. Raj had created a very precise time plan, being brilliantly organised in arranging the logistics of the day. This wedding was pretty much a combination of three days in one.
Whilst Mallika was having her hair and makeup done by the talented Jasmina, Raj had his loved ones line up part of the way down Braxted Park‘s extravagantly long driveway. Raj arrived in a beautiful Rolls Royce Phantom, you wouldn’t expect any less! The family danced in front of the car up to the main building. Raj and his brother then got out of the car dancing their way towards their loved ones. The two families then exchanged traditions and made their way to the Indian Tiffin Tent for breakfast. We would just like to mention that the catering was by Ragasaan, the best Indian cuisine we have ever had!
After, breakfast it was time for the Mandap to be opened and for the Hindu ceremony to start. After some traditions took place between Raj and his in-laws to be, Mallika was to make her entrance. After the Hindu ceremony, the family had some group shots and we then headed off with Mallika & Raj to the main house for a quick couple shoot. After this, it was time for the traditional leaving ceremony.
The bride and groom usually go off in a car for a short while, but on this occasion, Raj decided to put a car in place for show and trick Mallika. Waiting around the corner was a surprise helicopter ride! During the leaving ceremony, Mallika was very emotional and didn’t even notice the helicopter overhead, coming into land! It was such a surprise, but Mallika was most certainly up for it.
It was then time for them to return for part 2 of the celebrations…
