e-session at The Rocks - Sydney - prewedding shoot


Picture
This session took about 3 hours from the moment we met the gorgeous couple - Ganga and Brendan. By the time we arrived at the venue, Ganga and Brendon had made themselves comfortable at the legendary Orient Hotel in the heart of The Rocks. It was a gorgeous Sydney summer afternoon going into a magical and pleasant evening. After the initial 'get-to-know' time and some drinks, we spent the next two and some hours walking around the area chatting about things-various under the Sun and taking some pictures. 

I look forward to shooting your wedding in Jan 2013.





















What are e-sessions?

Pre-Wedding Photo-shoot, also popular as e-session (short for engagement-session) is very popular amongst couples and photographers equal. The purpose of a pre-wedding shoot is for the wedding photographers to get to know a couple and put them at ease in terms of being in front of a camera and having to look comfortable, spontaneous and of course romantic. Since posing doesn't come natural to most people, it is the job of  photographer to do as much as they can to ensure that a couple is totally at ease come the wedding day. 

I encourage couples to go to a little bit of trouble when planning their pre-wedding shoot. Sure, you are organising a whole wedding and you are not likely to have a lot of time on your hands. But doing things a little bit different in terms of outfits and location will ensure you have a gorgeous pre-wedding couple shoot that will produce images you will cherish a life time

Traditionally Fuleku ceremony involves the to-be groom rides on the horse-back around the entire village prior to the actual wedding ceremony. This gives everyone a chance to know who is going to be the groom of one of the girls of their village. This ceremony is usually a symbol of pride for the bride's parents who are very proud of the to-be son-in-law and would like to advertise this emotion to the entire village. However, Fuleku (namesake only) tradition for the below blog is where the bride (to-be) is invited for dinner to her sister's (or some other female relative like aunty) place prior to the wedding. This is supposed to be a very casual evening with lots of dances, extensive palette of cuisine and lots of banter between the sisters and their husbands.  Hemangi's wedding was in the town of Jamnagar in the state of Gujarat. However, her Fuleku ceremony took place in t
