Fast Bridal Portrait

As much as I would love to have a full portrait session with no time limits, the nature of Indian weddings means things are usually running a little behind schedule. The sheer amount of things such as ceremonies, waiting for family members and making sure everyone has the essentials when leaving the house means its a pretty busy atmosphere on the wedding morning.

When photographing brides, we like to get started as soon as possible so we kind of arrive just as your make up is nearing the end. This gives us enough time to set up and also photograph while things such as the dupatta is being set. this also gives us some creative freedom to capture a different style or pose before the duppata is pinned down .

Here’s an example of a photograph we got. The bride was still deciding how she wanted her duppata set and while she was doing that we captured this shot.

We used a large continuous light so we could shoot fast and move the light around quickly. The large light also gives a beautiful catch light in the eyes.
