Our journey with Samsrita and Ram began with a simple quotation call that blossomed into friendship. It led to a pre-wedding adventure in Kerala, exploring hidden gems off the tourist path. Despite expectations of a conventional Rayalaseema wedding, we were pleasantly surprised by its unconventional nature. The couple's energy was infectious, and their family's warmth made us feel like part of the celebration. From rituals to portraits, every moment flowed effortlessly. We weren't just photographers; we were honorary family members, knowing everyone by name. This connection allowed us to capture raw, authentic moments with ease. The wedding may have ended, but our friendship continues, a testament to the bonds formed through our lens.
