LOVE. everyone has their own definition of it, right? If there was one word for romantic, beautiful, intoxicating, overwhelming and life changing, that would be it for me. When we did their engagement shoot, It was as clear as day to see that Kunal and Nirali are not only madly in love, but are also best of friends. They make love look so easy and effortless .
We started off with one of Nirali’s favorite spots at Hell’s gate. Getting to our favourite spots was a tasks in itself as we had to maneuver through the stony gorges and thank God no one slipped. The shots we got were simple yet breath taking. With their prominent poise and elegance and their ever so warm-hearted souls, they made my work quite easy. 🙂
The gorge is a cocktail of photography.
“Most of all, I want you to know without a doubt that I’ve got your back. And your front. And your sides. I’ve got all of you and I’m not letting go.”
“When I look in your eyes I see my life. I want to be your everything meaning yes your wife. no matter the situation, I’ll stay by your side. I also need you, you’re the best part of my life.”
We advanced our shoot to a more scenic location of wild life and the vibe was romantic yet strongly cultured. A Maasai shuka was used to add a bit of zing and to act as a symbol of rich Kenyan heritage. Although we were all very relaxed, the thought of Zebras attacking us and ruining the shoot crossed my mind (hehehe..) but luckily they kept their distance.
The couple changed into snug casual denim jeans and awesome custom made jerseys that scream “Together since 2009”. Seven years together and they still can’t wait for their lives together to begin 😉
….”I could conquer the world with one hand as long as you’re holding the other. “
Our final stop was at Ole Sereni . The couple changed into a black sophisticated evening attire. The mood was elegantly chilled out and sensual as they danced around the pool and later had drinks and just took time to unwind. For them, reality is better than their dreams cause their love story is like a Fairy tale that is still being written. I am honestly looking forward to shooting their wedding.
“…Dancing with the feet is one thing but dancing with your heart is another…”
Cheers to the happy couple!
A big thank you to Kunal and Nirali for allowing us to capture this engagement sand be part of their lives.
Look out for more & more action on the blog in the weeks to come…
God Bless & Increase y’all
