In a candid chat with weddingsOnline India, she shares her journey of how she came to be where she is today.
How long have you been a wedding photographer? How did you start ClicksUnlimited?
I have been in this field for nearly 5 years now. I was always interested in photography and wanted to make a career in this field so I could help people capture beautiful memories. And with this view in mind, I started Clicksunlimited in 2012.
Please describe your photography style.
I describe my style as fun. I was never the one to stick to tradition.
Who or what inspires you?
Travel inspires me. I love meeting people and I seek inspiration in everyday things. Being in new places, talking to people is what I love about my job.
Can you walk us through a typical wedding consultation? How are your packages priced?
These days, candid shots are really important to couples. Also, many couples come to us saying they want amazing pictures but are also camera shy. Putting them at ease is the main thing. We make sure to create a rapport with our clients; we encourage them to be their natural selves while posing. If they are uncomfortable, we are patient enough to retake the shot. Once the couple has described their vision, we implement it to the best possibility while making our own suggestions. Our packages start from INR 1 lakh.
Please describe a challenging wedding you have shot. What made it so?
Recently we shot a wedding where the couple and their events manager had a few issues. So we had to step in and bridge the gap. At one point, we were actually playing the wedding planner and arranging for lights and décor. In the end, we managed to get some amazing shots and the couple was really happy with the result.
Kindly share 3 of your best wedding images with our readers. What makes them your favourites?
We recently shot a beautiful wedding in Mauritius. I love the following 3 images from that wedding:
How has weddingsonline India supported or helped your business?
weddingsOnline has immensely helped improve the visibility of our website. The team is amazingly friendly and we communicate regularly. They have helped us with right leads and increased our social media presence. Many brides and grooms consider weddingsonline their beloved online wedding planner partner and we suppliers are reaping the benefits of this relation.
Any advice for couples as far as their wedding photography is concerned?
A few days after the wedding, all that will be left are its awesome memories. So do prioritize on wedding photography; it is the most important aspect of wedding planning. If needed, hire two teams-one for the groom and one for the bride’s side. And please do say yes to couple/prewedding shoot! You will definitely not regret it.
