Asha & Ankit

by Prasad jindam

When I saw, I fell in love. And you smiled because you knew. - William Shakespeare. This quote stands very true for our couple Asha Sudani and Ankit Patel.

An arranged match made by their respective parents, this newly engaged couple approached me for their pre-wedding photography. Ankit is an Engineer by Profession & currently living in California, USA while Asha has just completed her studies in Surat, Gujarat.

After going through a 'gruelling' round of questions from Ankit (I am sure Asha will vouch for how gruelling his questions can be!! **wink wink) about how the whole shoot will be planned, we finally embarked the shoot day. I chose a pristine, untouched, sleepy beach-town on the outskirts of Mumbai so that this couple could get some me-time and also be at peace, away from the city hustle-bustle. Like all my other couples, my only direction to them was 'Just Be Yourself and Enjoy The Time Together'. 'Coz for me, when I’m shooting, I’m looking for emotions, human interactions, humour and anything that essentially shows people, just being people. Asha and Ankit were very sporting and definitely didn't mind rolling in the mud, getting wet in the rain or jumping in the sea. Their enthusiasm was so infectious that it also got me charged up and the result is some beautiful and stunning shots.

Thank you Asha and Ankit for trusting me with your Pre-Wedding couple portrait shoot. Here are a few of my favourite ones
P.S. It was quite a task to choose these, 'coz i loved all of them
