Jaspreet & Indy - Central London, Editorial Pre-Wedding Shoot
We Absolutely love this job!! Asian Wedding photography is just so fulfilling. We get to meet great people, document the most special days of their lives and the people who are dearest to them. The best part is, our images capture moments for generations to experience.
It is quite common in the asian wedding photography genre that we have clients who would like the opportunity to have professional portraits captured prior to tying the knot. As part of our wedding collections we included a pre-wedding shoot as standard.
We were approached by Jaspreet and Indy after they had seen our work online. They wanted something different for their pre-wedding shoot. After discussing a few concepts and collaborating on a vision we were all set for this amazing shoot.
The final agreed concept was a Stylish editorial lifestyle shoot with 'bags of romance!' We scoured for the perfect Location and came across a Contemporary Apartment in the heart of central London. The apartment had Wonderful character and was awash with beautiful natural light .
We approach any shoot as a collaboration between our clients and us as the photographers. together we create the vision, build the story, go over the logistics, source makeup artists, discuss Wardrobe and styling etc
On the day of the shoot Jaspreet enjoyed the complete pre-shoot treatment from our wedding hair and makeup Artist (Adore By Aman), whilst Indy looked on affectionately as Aman applied makeup and styled his fiancée's striking red hair.
The masterpiece was completed with gorgeous bohemian (boho) white wedding dresses perfectly contrasted with black leather biker boots. it was a spin on the traditional which reflected Jaspreet's personal style.
From the offset, Jaspreet and Indy were incredible and totally natural once in front of the lens. their love, devotion and connection consumed the atmosphere.
Jaspreet and Indy are two of the most inspirational people we have had the pleasure of photographing. they are both dedicated to making a difference to people and communities by influencing social change.
