This was the end of the day of a fun and fantastic Pre-Wedding shoot with this couple and this was the last shot! I saw the dramatic dark clouds with the blue sky and instantly thought of this shot. Whipped my magmod kit out and lit this wall behind the couple with a red halo like ring and them and everything else being a silhouette. Perfecto! (Fun fact - the couple was holding the speedlight!)

The Blue sky, the palm trees, the soft rays of the sun kissing the couple, the gentle breeze wafting all around. Absolute Magic!

This photograph was taken in the evening soft light at this serene location in my local city. Just a simple romantic photograph of the lovely couple. Sometimes, it's all about simplicity.

Although this photograph was taken in my home city of Ahmedabad, India, in a beautiful green community, the inspiration of it was from one of my travels through The Luberon Provence in the south of France. I was traveling to the Luberon village of Gordes, when I came across a road with trees lined on both sides so you could not see the sky and just a peek of the golden sunlight! I tried to re-create that moment of my travel with this beautiful couple posing in the middle of the road with wonderful old trees on both sides and that sun peeking through illuminating the entire scene!

There is a certain fascination about historic sites as they stand graceful and grand, the romance of it all! I captured this moment under the bewitching sky, with this beautiful couple dressed in matching monochrome outfits, doused in the alluring golden hour light. Magic!

The story behind this photo was all about that tree! The shape of it looked kind of like a heart to me and the couple walking towards the sunset just made the whole situation a classic romantic Photograph. "Walking into the sunset is what I called it".
