THE STORY & EMOTION
We've shot over 200 weddings. Thousands of couples. Tens of thousands of people. Every permutation of love and family and chaos. But Shristi and Prasenjeet? They ruined us. Not in a bad way. In the way that resets your standard. They've known each other since they were kids. Neighbors. Friends. The kind of childhood friendship that everyone assumes will either fade or become something more. It became something more. By the time they were 16, they knew. They just had to wait for everyone else to catch up. Ten years later, they got married. Not in a palace. Not in a resort. In an open lawn in Faridabad. Two ceremonies. Four days. One love story that made us believe in soulmates.
CEREMONIES
1. The Two Ceremonies Shristi is Hindu. Prasenjeet is Buddhist. Most couples choose one faith. They chose both. Day 1: Hindu Ceremony Traditional. Havan. Pheras. Sindoor. Mangalsutra. Shristi in red. Prasenjeet in cream sherwani. Families chanting Sanskrit they don't fully understand but have faith in. We shot this classically. Wide shots of the mandap. Close-ups of the rituals. Day 3: Buddhist Ceremony Monks. Chanting. Incense. No fire. Just calm. Shristi in white. Prasenjeet in traditional Buddhist robes. The same families, now sitting on the ground, quieter, slower. We shot this differently. Longer takes. Silence between shots. Let the peace be present. The film cuts between both ceremonies. Shows them getting married twice. Because they did. And both times felt equally sacred.
The Approach
During the reception, someone played a slideshow. Pictures of them as kids. Age 7. Playing in the same garden where the wedding was happening. Age 12. School uniforms. Standing next to each other in a group photo, not yet knowing. Age 16. The first photo where you can see it in their eyes. We filmed the audience watching this slideshow. Parents crying. Friends pointing at the screen like "LOOK HOW SMALL THEY WERE." Then we cut to present-day them watching their own history. That sequence destroys people every time.

SHOOTING STYLE
This is unprofessional to say, but: They're our favorite couple. Not because the wedding was expensive (it wasn't). Not because the venue was stunning (it was fine). Not because everything went smoothly (it didn't—monsoon threatened, power cut happened, the caterer was late). But because they treated us like family. They checked if we'd eaten. They introduced us to their grandparents. They asked about our lives. On day three, Shristi's mom made us sit and have chai with her. Told us stories about the couple as kids. That's not normal. Most clients are polite. They're kind. But Shristi and Prasenjeet made us feel like we'd known them for years. By the end, we didn't want to leave. Shot on FX3 and A7S III 35mm, 50mm, 85mm GM primes Minimal gimbal use (most of it was on sticks—we wanted stillness) No drone (didn't need it, the lawn wasn't that big) Rode NTG5 shotgun mic for ambient sound (wanted to capture the space, not just the people)
The LOCATION
An open lawn in Faridabad. Not glamorous. No Instagram backdrop. Just grass and a shamiana and folding chairs. But here's what it had: space. Light. Intimacy. The venue doesn't matter when the people do.
