Devi and Jilan - Engagement Session

What I really enjoy most about engagement sessions is the time I can spend getting to know the couple before their wedding celebrations. I’m able to get a feel for their personality and they can get to know me and see how I work. Come the wedding day they are totally relaxed and at ease in front of the lens. Devi and Jilan are one of the most amazing couples I have photographed. Very funny and open to ideas. A perfect combination for an engagement session. I’m looking forward to document their wedding occasions later in the year, but for now here are a few images from their pre-wedding engagement session.

Priya & Anil - Pre-wedding shoot

Yesterday I photographed the engagement session for Priya and Anil. I simply love pre-wed sessions, as this is a great opportunity for me to bond with the couple and be a little more creative behind the lens. Absolutely freezing conditions did not deter the couple, in fact they were real troopers and game for some fun on the beach. I really can’t wait to document Priya and Anil’s wedding occasions in a few weeks. Hope you like some of the images from the engagement shoot below…

We didn't know what to expect but can honestly say your love, enthusiasm and instinctive talent shone through and made this comfortable, exciting and definitely a day to remember! who would have guessed these were taken on a day where the temperature stayed at -2' all day! We can't wait for you to capture the love and happy memories of our wedding!! thank you for everything, love, Priya & Anil

Sanjay D Gohil - Stunning photographs Apresh - Very inspiring as usual :) Congrats to the happy couple and all the best for the future. Sanj

Sailesh - Great photos Apresh! Especially the second to last one. Inspiring work from you as usual! Keep it up & congrats to the happy couple

Kiran - Apresh a true photographers challenge is to use a "Myth" that the photographs taken give the pictures the ability of communication with the viewer and the image, without a spoken word. It points out and notifies, it makes us understand something and it imposes it on us”. You have smply done that with these images. Like a lighthouse on a dark night, you have captured the love of Anil and Priya for one another that always shine's brightly. Simply amazing!!

Natasha and Ravi - Oshwal Centre Wedding

From the first meeting with Natasha and Ravi, we hit it off! September 19th was a day I had been looking forward to for a long long time. The couple had a very intimate Hindu wedding ceremony at the stunning venue, The Oshwal Centre, Potters Bar.

I have photographed at the Oshwal a few times now, and have never tired of the magnificent temple architecture, impressive backdrops and scenery. A wedding photographers dream! The day was filled with much joy, fun, laughter and emotion. Ravi and Natasha, along with their family and friends, were a pleasure to work with.

Thank you  for allowing me to be part of your special day guys, and congratulations once again. Below are just a few of my fav images of the day….

Karishma and Ajay - A wedding in Ireland

Karishma and Ajay flew me out to Northern Ireland to document their wedding occasions just recently. It was my first time in Ireland.. WOW!  I’m totally captivated by its richness in history, culture and scenery. The white wedding took place at the gorgeous grounds and ruins of Lissanoure Castle and Indian wedding ceremony at the stunning Kilronan Castle, Co Roscommon. Karishma and Ajay, thank you and your family for your kind hospitality and allowing me to capture some of the most treasured moments of your lives. A special thanks for Suneil  (Karishma’s dad) for being my guide throughout the whole trip! Hope you enjoy the small selection of images below…

Then on to the Indian wedding ceremony…

Karishma and Ajay - We were mesmerised by Apresh's photographs when we were searching for an Indian wedding photographer to capture our special day. We loved the way he had a keen eye for detail, captured raw emotions and had a flair for capturing beautiful backdrops in his images. Loving architecture and nature it was important for us to find a photographer who had the same appreciation for these things. From the moment we talked to Apresh we were struck by his charisma, enthusiasm and passion for photography. We are delighted to say that his enthusiasm has remained the same from the moment of booking him to present day. We are delighted with his professionalism and commitment to capturing the best shots of our big day. Apresh worked extremely hard all weekend and was even caught by one family member working into the wee small hours of the morning! Several family members commented on his dedication, eye for creative shots and attention to detail. He made us feel like superstars the whole weekend and was very flexible and easy to work with. We were happy to see that he was always thinking outside of the box and we were very impressed by the samples we viewed on his website. He has exceeded all expectations! Apresh is a talented and reliable photographer who was always seen to be working to the best of his ability. We are looking forward to seeing the rest of our images and receiving our wedding album and have no doubt that they will be wonderful. Thanks for everything Apresh!!!! Karishma and Ajay xoxoxoxoxo

Rima - wow...+1 on what they said!! Great work Apresh, I love the first shot of the flowers, very creative!!!

Beena and Prash - A Monsoon Wedding in Kenya

Welcome again to my new look blog and what better way of kicking it off than to showcase the gorgeous wedding of Beena and Prash. The couple flew me out to Nairobi,  Kenya to document their wedding. Beena is an accomplished photographer herself - Kumi Photography, and I knew that she had very high standards when it comes to wedding photography.
The wedding was held in the beautiful grounds of The Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club right next to one of  large lakes. The day started very warm and bright but as the ceremony came to an end large grey clouds rapidly formed and the heavens opened. RAIN! Not the kind of rain we experience here in the UK, but warm monsoon rain. According to the Hindu tradition, rain on your wedding day is considered good luck… so I tried my luck and asked the couple if we could go out in the rain to take their couple shots. Without hesitation they agreed! We all got completely soaked to the skin, as you can see from the images below.
You can see the full slideshow on my main website on the ‘Real Stories’ link. Beena and Prash, thank you, your family and friends for letting me be a part of your celebrations and a special thanks to Prash’s dad for lending me his shirt after the shoot.

Beena - Apresh, I Still remember the day you landed in Nairobi and came home after your long flight and you had the biggest smile on your face! I felt so comfortable to let you do your job…and you did! It’s absolutely amazing! You captured every moment and every detail with so much enthusiasm! I don’t know many photographers that would jump out in the rain to catch those awesome monsoon shots! That’s some tenacity! Prash and I are so pleased we booked you! We’ve looked at our photos over and over again, and they’re perfect! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Rima - Apresh, wow, seriously amazing work!! Ive been enjoying looking at your work over the past couple of months, its amazing how the quality of your work has gone from great to fantastic! Your new website/ blog is seamless, I would love to work along side you on a shoot some day and pick up some tips, kind regards, Rima :)

David Beckstead - Great job! Love the whole rain thing! Perfect and made for more dramatic compositions! Nice!

Adam - Stunning showcase with the new blog and website. All the best dude.

Arvind Ahluwalia - So much detail, so much emotion - even in an inanimate object - I never get tired of seeing the same shot over and over again! What more can I say... I'm going to run out of words to describe how amazing your work is, and will surely continue to be. /Arvind
