Hindu Weddings in Kerala are famously short. They are simpler, calmer and quite often, very relaxed. Anupama & Vineeth got married in a similar and traditional ceremony in Trivandrum’s Shanghumugham Devi Temple. Upon checking the timestamps, I realized that the actual wedding ceremony lasted just over 10 minutes! This duration isn’t even enough for a warmup in many Indian wedding ceremonies. And here, the entire wedding ceremony was over!

During the wedding, I befriended Veda and Vihaan - Vineeth’s niece and nephew, respectively. And they turned out to be pretty good with the camera for their age. In fact, some of the photos they took ended up in the final wedding set. Cool huh?! :)

”Having Elvin around was one of the highlights of our wedding day. He is an extremely calming and friendly presence to have around on one of the more stressful days in life. Not once did we have to fake being in love :-) or indulge in artificial displays of affection. We felt like his pictures literally weaved a story, often through capturing waves of emotions and candid moments. (the cutely awkward ones were particularly awesome!). Moreover, the kids love him and his Harry Potter-esque style! This guy even nice enough to give them some basic photography lessons amid all the chaos. To sum up his work, Elvin has an eye for seeing beauty in the most unlikely of places and moments, capturing your uniqueness as a family/couple.” - Anupama & Vineeth
