A Malaysian love story! At the calm and serene Island of Penang.

A Tamil wedding and a beautiful reception at the calm and serene Island of Penang, Malaysia. This was the culmination of the first phase of our relationship with Karthik and Sana. From the pre-wedding shoot planned at Alleppey and Athirappaly, we traveled all the way to Malaysia to cover the wedding of this happy bubbly couple.

Prasanna Devi, whom we call Prue, with love, is a lovely beautiful girl. She is half Malayee and half Chinese. Karthik is a Tamilian settled in Malaysia. Both, deep in love with each other came to Alleppey for their pre-wedding shoot. 

Dramatic and absolutely Tamil movie fanatic, they wanted their pre-wedding song to be shot with a choice of three-hit Tamil songs. We had a wonderful time shooting with this lovely bunch.

Months later, when we met them at their native place, Penang, they didn’t leave any option to make us feel the most important guests of their wedding. This is the wedding where we shit and we enjoyed the best. 

The celebrations started with the nalungu on the day before the wedding eve. The elaborate nalungu at the bride’s residence was followed by a similar one at the groom’s house. On the wedding eve also, there was a nalungu and followed by a family gathering.

Here is the beautiful Tamil wedding Video at the serene land of Penang, Malaysia. Penang is an island where you see a cross-section of Malay, Tamil, and Malayalees. The families are an amalgam of a lot of South Indian culture. From Nalungu to Wedding and reception we could witness these beautiful families coming together to celebrate the best day of their kids. We are happy to be part of this wonderful bunch of people who welcomed us as their family.

This is a Tamil Wedding Photography story in Malaysia. As Indian wedding photographers we have had the opportunity to travel to many exotic wedding destinations in India like Kovalam, Chennai, Goa, Mysore, Kannur, Kozhikode, Palakkad, Jaipur, Udaipur, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Alleppey, Kumarakom, Thrichy, and so on. Weddings have even taken us overseas to beautiful destination wedding photography locations like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Singapore, Malaysia, Maldives and so on.

How to hire a candid wedding photographer for your wedding in India?

Choosing the right wedding photographer and cinematographer is a tedious and an elaborate affair. As you plan your wedding, you will have questions like, how many photographers should cover my wedding. Should I hire a professional wedding photographer or a candid wedding photographer? Or, should I opt for both? Most importantly, you will be confused to identify who is a candid photographer and who is a conventional wedding photographer. Here is your answer to the question, How to hire a candid wedding photographer and does it add value and beauty to the wedding photo album.

What is Candid Photography?

Candid photography is identifying and capturing spontaneous, momentary and natural instances of emotions, be it happiness, excitement, joy or even tears. One of the best USBs of candid photography is that it is shot in motion and the photographer will be able to capture someone in their most natural way. It brings in a sense of spontaneity and the chances of the subject to be too camera-conscious is rare. The images look realistic and contemporary. In weddings, candid photography is a method of capturing images that involve shooting the wedding from a journalistic perspective without ‘touching’ the scene in any way. Sometimes you will not realize that a photographer is actually covering your wedding. S/he blends so much with the crowd that his/her presence is not at all noticed.

Sample 11 Sample 19 Sample 55
Indian wedding photography is largely about capturing these natural shots, as it brings out the essence of the rituals and ambiance as they truly are, without always telling the bride, groom or the guests to pose. For obvious reasons, candid photography does not require the bride, groom or the guests to dress up elaborately or apply cosmetics. It could be those blink-and-you-miss-it moments as you wink at your BFF while getting to the mandap, or that rare moment when your dad sobs during your Bidai or even your aunt scolding the caterer. The shots are mostly frozen in natural lighting as far as possible. Most of the time the bride, groom or the guests, are not even aware that they are being clicked. These are those moments of your story that only a talented and experienced candid wedding photographer can capture.

Sample 41

How are candid wedding pictures important?

Professional wedding photographers are well equipped with their lights, lenses and the crew aligned to capture the wedding from beginning to end. They take all formally posed images with friends, family and all other acquaintances. They make sure that not a single important ritual or a close family member is missed out during the photo session. A story of the wedding with all rituals is well captured by them. Candid images blow an extra life to those images. You will find a coy bride in the formal images, whereas there are chances that you find her naughty side teasing the groom in the candid photographs. Adding them to the Wedding album makes it the best wedding album you can make.

Identify a good candid wedding photographer

Wedding photography is one of the most competitive industries where you will find hundreds of youngsters labeled themselves a Candid wedding photographer. To pick the right one from this crowd is indeed a tough job. To identify the best candid photographer who will match your style, primarily, look out for these platforms

• Website
• Instagram page
• Facebook page

Look out for images s/he shared on these platforms. If they match the style you want to see in your image, bravo! You have found your best candid wedding photographer for your day. Some talented photographers will have NDA with their clients. If you think the guy has the potential, write to them and ask for reference images. They will share you their best clicks and you can choose accordingly.

As you have chosen the photographer, make sure you meet him/her personally or at least talk in person with him/her about your expectation and the agenda of the day. Let them know if you have any specific moments that cannot be left. Also, give them an opportunity to speak about their style of work. Build a rapport with the photographer so that you will be comfortable working together for the coming days.

 

Thus you have chosen the best candid wedding photographer for your most treasured wedding day. On the wedding day, let your family and friends know that you have an extra photographer working so that s/he can be accommodated during the make-up session, wedding, and the reception party.

Do not ask for all unedited images as s/he will have the best and worst, over and underexposed, and not so perfectly frames images. Give them time to sort and edit the best pictures and you will surely drool over them again and again.

Sample 20 Sample 23

Candid wedding albums

While creating wedding albums, it might be a good idea to include both candid as well as formal images. During weddings and other events, these Candid photographs manage to capture the hullabaloo of the preparations in a unique lively manner. Candid pictures speak a lot. This is what makes them extremely humorous at times, capturing the playful side of people, which comes spontaneously and which would never have happened had they been posing all along.

Thus we worked with Gonzalo from Vienna

VikhyathMedia has always thrived to deliver the best  possible to their clients in a reasonable budget. In our journey towards excellence as one of the best wedding photographers in Trivandrum, we have associated with the best talents in the industry. Last wedding season was one of a kind when we got the opportunity to associate with Gonzalo Bell, an international photographer from Vienna. It was a new experience for us and we could work together for almost a dozen of weddings.

Gonzalo Bell is a documentary photographer came down to India to shoot the vivid and various wedding rituals in India. We had the good fortune to meet him and associate with him for our winter weddings. It was indeed a great experience to work with such a talented person who even has the experience working for UN’s humanitarian projects. Watch what Gonzalo has to say about VikhyathMedia.

At VikhyathMedia, we are open to talents with different capabilities. Every photographer is unique in his/her own way. We provide the right platform for them to show case their talents. This is probably one of the main reasons behind us being one of the top professional photographers in Trivandrum.

Nithin – Aswathy, a simple wedding that was elegant

On a fine morning, when we were rushing to office, we got a call from USA. Nithin, as he explained, said he knows nothing about wedding photography and its rates and would like to know what all should be needed for his wedding that was to happen on May 1, 2015. We explained him the trends and inquired about his requirements. He seemed impressed with us and gave us the deal. he was the first client who signed us up without personally meeting us. That was the trust he had on us. Though many such assignments followed, Nithin remains that special person who believed us wholeheartedly.

 

On the day of the wedding, our team met him, his father Capt. Unnikrishnan and his sister Neethu at their residence at Pandalam. The crew moved with the Bridegroom to Punalur, where the wedding was to happen. There awaited a beautiful and charming bride Aswathy smiled so much from her heart that it radiates to every other person who meets her.

A simple and elegant kerala hindu wedding followed and we could get some beautiful frames of the couple. As we came back to Pandalam, Nithin wanted us to take their couple images at the field nearby. He wanted the greenery and beauty of Kerala to be part of his D day. The photo session that followed gave us some amazing shots of the duo and they are one of our featured weddings.A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 02 A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 04 A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 05 A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 06 A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 07 A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 10 A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 11 A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 12 A traditional Hindu wedding at Punalur 13 Kerala Wedding Photography 01 Kerala Wedding Photography 02 Kerala Wedding Photography 03 Kerala Wedding Photography 04 Kerala Wedding Photography 05 Kerala Wedding Photography 06 Kerala Wedding Photography 07 Couple shoot kerala wedding photography 01

Nithin remains one of our preferred clients for his gentle and well mannered demeanor. Aswathy’s smile is captured in our memories forever. Capt. Unnikrishnan and family took care of us in every possible way, that we felt honoured and humbled. We wish them to keep their smilies intact in the years to come and have a wonderful life ahead.

An Iyengar wedding Tale – Krishna- Raghuram

A Tamil Brahmin wedding is a completely different experience from the more Hindu Nair weddings that happen in Trivandrum, as you can imagine, everything from the rituals, the music to the settings are all entertaining and colourful. If you have attended a Tamil Brahmin wedding before, you should know how much fun they are. From the maapilai azhaippu, the exchanging the garlands, the kasi yatra and the oonjal, etc. There is so much to delight on in a Brahmin wedding. Adding to this was the combination of a vibrant bride and a handsome groom. To us all this meant one thing – more exciting moments to cover and take pictures of.

The most important factor from the perspective of a photographer/videographer is the chemistry between the couple. Almost always, we make sure the couple are happy and not nervous while shooting some pre-directed shots to add fun to the wedding album. The couple would already be overwhelmed with so many things happening around them on the wedding day and we want to be the last of their concerns. But for Krishna and Raghuram, we could sense the wonderful chemistry between them and we were all excited to shoot their wedding. Their familiarity with each other showed in the final output. They had so much fun during the rituals and the photoshoot that followed, that it was just a tireless job following them to get some amazing frames and finest moments.Their friends and family were very cooperative as well, which made our job so much more easy.

This is one of the weddings where we just could not narrow down to 10-20 best shots and upload it here. There are just hundreds. The wedding video and the photo album are flowing with those wonderful instances, that the couple will have a multitude of reasons to go back and relive the day again and again.

Gopika Dilip – Naveen Prasad Engagement

Dilip Nair, whom we call Dilip uncle with love is one of our early clients and a dear well wisher. Meeting him at a friend’s daughter’s birthday was just a coincidence. But, what followed really changed the fortune of VikhyathMedia.

It was the time when VikhyathMedia, so to speak, got officially named and established. Dilip uncle wanted to take some pictures of her elder daughter Anjana to post in matrimony sites, as they were looking for a suitable alliance for her. We still do not know why he contacted us for the photoshoot and wanted none other than us to take the pictures. Fortunately, the images were a success and a handsome hunk, Mithun Nair became anjana’s lifetime hero.

As we shot the engagement and wedding of Anjana, we built a strong relationship with not only just Dilip uncle, but his wife Sreedevi auntie and their younger daughter Gopika. In the course of time Gopika became the model for our friend’s boutique, Alika.

Dilip uncle has always been very encouraging and motivating. He stood by us in the years that followed. We covered his niece’s wedding as well. He introduced us to more clients and referred us to many of his friends.

After almost four years of friendship, the time came for Gopika to get married. History repeats and we took her portraits too. Her engagement with Naveen Prasad was more of a family event than a client’s assignment. Energetic Gopika and handsome Naveen had a great time during their engagement on 27th Nov, 2015 at S P Grand Days Hotel, Trivandrum.

We look forward to have an amazing time covering this wonderful family on her wedding in July, 2016.

Sowmya – Rajesh Wedding Story

We meet individuals, but make relationship with families. The marriages of Vinita and Sowmya are one big example of that fact. Hari Mahesh has been a long time friend of ours and some 7 years back we covered his wedding with Suvitha in Trivandrum. After years, when it was time for Hari’s sister-in-law’s wedding, he chose none other than Vikhyathmedia. Vinita and Amit’s wedding was more of a two states story where the North met the South and was truly multicultural. We did narrate this story in an earlier blog.

Chennai became a lover’s paradise for Soumya, their cousin as well. Along with career and fortune that was waiting for her, there was a love for a lifetime that followed. Sowmya and Rajesh met, fell in love and decided to get married in this beautiful metro.

A pure kerala hindu wedding took place on October, 2015 at two different venues. Guruvayoor Sree Krishna Temple was the first venue. With the blessings of Lord Krishna, the duo drove down to Attingal to have an elaborate wedding there.

Sowmya being a bubbly and smart person, shooting with her was effortless and entertaining as well. She had no qualms in posing before the camera. Her brothers and her cousins also joined for the shoot to give some wonderful happy family moments. Rajesh joined us on the wedding day and gave some lovely shots with his sweet heart.

It is always individuals to meet us for their wedding coverage. But building a rapport with the families leave us with hundreds of amazing pictures, great emotions attached and friendship for a lifetime. team VikhyathMedia wishes Soumya and Rajesh a wonderful married life ahead. You guys are amazing. Keep up the love and chemistry throughout the journey of your life.
