Priya and Kedar’s South Asian Marathi/Tamil wedding at the Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles

Venue Location: Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles,

As with photographers, there are many of us, and not every photographer matches every bride or groom. For Srinu and I, it’s something that we have learned throughout our years of photographing weddings. Personalities and priorities for our clients must align. Priya and Kedar were a perfect example of how open and sharing they were with me when they first reached out, with both priorities and their budget allowing us to really learn about the things that mattered most to them. Believe it or not, this yields the highest opportunity when utilizing your event professionals because the level of guidance we can provide you is endless. But their personalities were what had me at “hello” as a photographer; it’s the hello that tells so much about a couple and their goals during the initial call that makes you crazy excited to book this particular client and super sad when you learn that you lost them in the process. Luckily for us, we were the right fit for both personalities and priorities, and we could not be more grateful to Priya and Kedar and their families for giving us so much love and respect throughout the process. When you go into photographing weddings, you know the stakes are high, that everything counts, and you are supposed to be there to add to and not take away from the day.

It’s, after all, what I love most about all that I do. When we reflect back on our imagery one last time before we deliver our clients’ files, regardless of whether it’s our fifth or 995th wedding, we ask ourselves the same questions combing through the images.

• Did we represent our clients in their true light?
• Was it about them and not us?
• Did we capture everyone present?
•  Was it captured if they had spent not even a penny but a thought on it?
• Were we team players?
• Did we leave feeling we put in 150%?

With butterflies in our tummies, the answers seem to always be the same, and until they are not, we will continue to authentically do what we do for all of you. Because right now, it’s what makes our world spin round!
