“The best images are the ones that retain their strength and impact over the years, regardless of the number of times they are viewed.”– Anne Geddes
Over the course of the years, several trends have forayed their way into the world of weddings.

One of the hottest trends of 2018 is ‘Bokeh’, the Japanese form of photography that enables a subject to be highlighted by blurring the backdrop. Be influenced by the aesthetic quality of blur, produced in the out-of-focus part of an image which is generated by a lens that accentuates the features of those being photographed in a portrait shot. The enticing atmosphere of the Burj Al Arab juxtaposed against the bejeweled Indian bride suggests a beautiful marriage between traditional and contemporary values.
