We took two sets of photos outside and two inside (with four different sets of clothes).<br /><br />The end product was unbelievable. We have dozens of super high-quality photos. Qian and I have received nothing but high praise for the way they turned out. <br /><br />My uncle told me that my cousins talked about our photos for hours after they saw them because they were so struck by the photos.<br /><br />Getting wedding photos was one of the times I "felt the most Chinese" in all of my time in China!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-65917457505956927282010-04-07T05:15:37.441+05:302010-04-07T05:15:37.441+05:30@Vishal - Yes, there are a lot of good photographe...@Vishal - Yes, there are a lot of good photographers, but somehow the thought of being a wedding photographer can make me blanch.

...You seem to be totally revelling in being TKT :) <br /><br />In a tamilian wedding the oonjal ceremony is probably the only function with both the bride and groom in natural light and indoor pictures are usually not particularly flattering. So the video guy has to resort to some distracting (actually pretty awful) background music cutting out the perfectly nice nadaswaram and other tricks like having five faces of the bride going round and round in circles :)<br /><br />That being said, the pictures that Rads linked are all very nice so there is hope for your business idea!Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-58458981312285354562010-04-07T00:07:34.463+05:302010-04-07T00:07:34.463+05:30I love photography and weddings can get you some r...I love photography and weddings can get you some real good captures, including Indian weddings...it all depends on the photographers and unfortunately the ppl who call themselves professionals lack creativity, in India...my wedding photographer is one gr8 example and my album was the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen and i look miserable in every one of them...the video is a laughing stock...both me n my hubby hate it n whenever someone asks for it we say we lost it or its with someone else or just ignore the conversation :D...but there are some real good wedding photographers in India...<br />chk these: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=357179&id=339653500270&op=12<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=353907&id=339653500270&op=12<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=387701&id=339653500270<br /><br />http://picasaweb.google.com/108902565140204737205/SubbuPelli# - by Rads (amateurish but better than the pics taken by the professional)<br /><br />Also we can't expect Indians to wear long flowing dresses unless they r Christians and anyways, since not many are slim, Indian brides look good in saris...saris n dhotis can't be shot in parks - that wont be a good composition - they are shot better during the ceremony or in a temple...<br /><br />Srivats has some real good shots...<br /><br />you can chk out my photostream here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/radhika_vunnamRikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985152186939344611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-44337652925647739592010-04-06T19:20:08.123+05:302010-04-06T19:20:08.123+05:30Yeah...
