Here are a light hearted poem for hiring a photographer at short notice

Wedding Photos at the Eleventh Hour

In London’s heart, where love runs free,
A couple dreams by the old Thames quay.
Yet fate had plans—uncertain, new—
An emergency wedding was now in view.

A previously booked photographer fell through,
Leaving them lost, unsure what to do.
With time so tight, yet hearts so true,
They’d still have stunning wedding photos too.

A last minute wedding, love won’t wait,
The bells will chime, no change in date.
Through frantic calls and endless tries,
They sought a lens with expert eyes.

They scrolled through social media pages,
Scanning fast through posts and stages.
“Needing a wedding photographer!” they pled,
As morning’s sun began to spread.

A photographer in London heard their call,
One who’d seen and shot it all.
For last-minute wedding photography,
They knew just where they had to be.

At wedding venues grand and bright,
Or cobbled streets in golden light.
From elopement vows in secret kept,
To lavish feasts where families wept.

They’d find a last-minute talent fast,
A pro whose art was sure to last.
A wedding photographer in London, bold,
To frame their love in hues of gold.

With a short notice wedding photographer found,
They raced to stand on sacred ground.
The aisle was set, the vows were made,
A love so strong would never fade.

Their wedding photographer cancelled, yet,
Their luck had turned—no more regret.
For finding a photographer last-minute so,
Had kept their dream alive to grow.

With beautiful wedding photos now,
The proof of love—the solemn vow.
A natural wedding, pure and bright,
Captured in the perfect light.

So if you’re looking for a last-minute wedding,
Or planning love that’s just beginning,
Know London’s photographers will catch your cheer,
And make it last through every year.

Blurry Wedding Photography Trend

20/03/2025 by admin

Wow, there is a trend on social media websites called “blurry wedding photos”.

Sorry to disappoint you, but this is not new. It’s a technique I have used for many years in my wedding photography to stand out from fellow wedding photographers. It’s a technique called “dragging the shutter”.

NOTE: WITH ME NOT ALL YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS WILL BE BLURRY. ONLY WHEN I HAVE TIME TO USE THIS TECHNIQUE.

      • 6. Will blurry photos make my wedding album look unprofessional?
      • 7. Can I request a mix of photography styles?

Create Blurry Wedding Photography With Drag The Shutter Technique

This is a photography technique that uses a slower shutter speed to capture motion of moving object by adding light trails and movement.  Shutter dragging combines flash, and freezes the subject with a slow shutter speed to capture motion blur. 

This technique uses a slow shutter speed to allow ambient light to register on the film or sensor.  A tip for other wedding photographers: Use a slow shutter speed, eg 1/15s, while also firing off the flash.

With digital camera’s you can see the effect immediately. But, if you are shooting on film, you’ll have to wait until the film is processed.

Blurry Wedding Photography 

1. What is the blurry wedding photography?

The blurry wedding photography trend involves intentionally adding motion blur, soft focus, or light smudges to photos to create an artistic, candid, and emotional effect. This style moves away from perfectly sharp, highly edited images. Instead capturing movement and natural moments to create a dreamy, nostalgic look.

2. Why do couples choose blurry wedding photos?

Modern couples love this style because it adds variety to their wedding album, making photos feel more spontaneous and intimate. It helps convey emotions, movement, and a sense of being “in the moment,” rather than focusing on traditional posed portraits.

3. Does every wedding photo need to be blurry?

Definitely No. Let’s be clear here, your wedding photographs should be sharp, in focus and clear.

The photographer should only shoot a select number of such images, after he has got proper sharp photos first. You deserve to have a visually engaging collection of  photos from your wedding day.

4. How do photographers achieve the blurry effect?

As a photographer I have used techniques such as slow shutter speeds and intentional camera movement to add movement to my wedding photos. Some photographers add slight motion blur during post-processing for a refined artistic touch, but I prefer to create it in camera.

5. What moments work best for blurry wedding photos?

I find this technique is ideal for capturing dancing and movement on the dance floor.

6. Will blurry photos make my wedding album look unprofessional?

Not at all. When done intentionally, like I do. I only shoot a select few not the whole wedding. Blurry photography adds an artistic, editorial-quality feel to your wedding photos.

As a skilled photographer I will use techniques to make my photos stand out from other wedding photographers.

Remember when you hire me, you have a choice to include or exclude these photos from your album.

7. Can I request a mix of photography styles?

Definitely YES. But as an experienced wedding photographer I incorporate traditional, natural, candid and documentary-style wedding photography to create a well rounded wedding album.

Hindu Wedding Ceremonies: Indian Wedding Rituals Step by Step

19/03/2025 by admin

Indian weddings have always been known for their grandeur and fun atmosphere , but when it comes to understanding the reason why the bride and groom perform the steps of the ceremony it’s a whole different ball game.

Weddings are a celebration of love and commitment, and can also a celebration of the couple’s religion and culture. Whether you’re invited as a guest, attending as a member of the wedding party, or are simply curious, the basis of a vedic Indian wedding ceremony that you may want to get familiar with

What to Expect at an Indian Wedding Ceremony

A traditional Hindu marriage ceremony is a sacred and vibrant event filled with various rituals and ceremonies that reflect the deep-rooted customs of Hindu culture. The ceremony is performed in a beautifully decorated wedding venue, under a Mandap, a canopy with four pillars symbolising stability in married life.

The wedding planning process includes intricate details such as wedding decor, religious rituals, and the coordination of pre-wedding rituals, ensuring that every step follows Hindu traditions. The arrival of the groom is an important moment, with his family formally welcomed by the parents of the bride in a grand procession.

As part of Hindu wedding rituals, the bride and groom exchange garlands, marking their acceptance of each other in marriage.

The ceremony begins by offering prayers for a strong marriage, led by either the bride or the groom, depending on regional customs. The mother of the bride plays a significant role, often presenting gifts to the bride as blessings. One of the most significant moments is when the parents of the bride formally give away their daughter in marriage by placing her hand in the groom’s. The groom accepts this responsibility, vowing to love and protect his wife.

The couple then take seven steps to symbolise the beginning of their journey together, a ritual performed on the fourth day in some Hindu communities. The final step signifies the lifelong commitment of the bride and groom. As the ceremony comes to an end, the welcoming of the bride into her new home marks the beginning of post-wedding ceremonies, celebrated differently across North Indian weddings and South Indian weddings.

Hare Krishna Temple Vedic Hindu Wedding Rituals To Married Life

The principle steps of a wedding ceremony in Hinduism are similar across India and globally where Hindu’s have settled. However, there may be slight variations due to family customs and regional traditions. The Indian wedding priest’s perceptive will play a small part too .

Step by Step Hindu Wedding Ceremony & Rituals in Hinduism

India is massive, so the traditional Indian Hindu weddings customs and rituals can vary slightly across the country.  This is the main ceremony the groom and bride follow at a Hare Krishna Temple / Bhaktivedanta Manor wedding in Watford.

Below I have included images for vedic wedding ceremony from a recent wedding I photographed to make it easier to understand the various parts of the ceremony.

1. Ganesh Puja – Worship of Lord Ganesh by the bride.

Before the ceremony begins, the priest invokes Lord Ganesh, the Hindu elephant God to removes all obstacles during the wedding ceremony

2. Milni – This is to welcome the groom and his family as they arrive. Once the groom has taken his place, the bride, usually accompanied by her maternal uncle, is invited to take her place.

3. Anterapat – A cloth is placed between the couple. The Brahmin (priest) will perform the Sanskrit Mantra and the cloth will then be removed. Traditionally this is the first time the couple will have seen each other.

4. Introduction – This is a brief explanation of the meaning of a Vedic marriage.

5. Achaman – Holy water from the Ganges is used to cleanse and purify

6. Civil Marriage – Registration of Marriage

7. Kumbha Sthapana – The Brahmin (priest) invites Lord Vishnu to join the ceremony. He then explains the ‘definition’ of the marriage and its commitments as outlined in the Vedic Scriptures.

8. Sankalpa – The Brahmin announces where, when and between whom the marriage is taking place.

9. Hastamandap – The Brahmin performs the ceremony to unite both families

10. Kanyadan – This is the most important part of the ceremony. The Bride’s father gives her away to the Groom’s family. This is considered the greatest Dana (gift). The act is confirmed by the exchange of garlands between the bride and groom.

11. Havan – A fire Sacrifice (Havan) is performed by the priest

12. Purnahuti – Final offerings are made to the Sacrimonial fire

13. Mangal Fera – The fire (Havan) is considered the witness to the whole ceremony. The ceremony here consists of the couple walking around the fire four times, which represents the four aspects of life.

  • – Dharma
  • – Religious Duties Artha
  • – Economic Development Kama
  • – Fruitive Work Moksa
  • – Liberation

14. Mangal Sutra – Similar to concept of the English Wedding Ring – a golden necklace is presented on a coconut by the Groom’s mother to the Bride.

15. Sindoor – The Husband puts red coloured vermilion / Kum Kum on the parting in the hair of the bride.

16. Saptapadi (Seven Steps) – The couple takes seven steps around the fire, each step representing a promise:

  • Respect and honour each other
  • Share happiness and sorrow
  • Be loyal and trustworthy
  • Value knowledge and service
  • Strengthen family and love
  • Follow dharma (righteousness)
  • Stay together forever

17. Darshan – At this stage the curtains in the temple are opened to reveal the beautiful deities of Sri-Sri Radha Gokulananda, Sri-Sri Sita Rama Laxman Hanuman and Sri-Sri Gaura Nitai.

18. Kansar – This is an exchange of Sweets between the couple as a symbolic gesture that they will provide for each other’s needs and prosperity in their household life.

19. Ashirvad – Blessings from the bride and groom’s family that concludes the wedding ceremony.

Wedding Photographer Secrets You Won’t Learn in School

09/09/2024 by admin

When it comes to wedding photography, there’s a lot more than meets the eye. While you might think it’s all about having a good camera and some technical know-how, the reality is, that professional wedding photographers operate on principles that go far beyond what you learn in any classroom. After 20 years working in the industry, I’ve seen firsthand how these professionals deliver breathtaking images that perfectly capture the day’s emotions.

From navigating unpredictable lighting to working seamlessly with the bride and groom, these untold principles separate an amateur from a professional. It’s not just about snapping photos—it’s about ensuring every moment is documented in a way that tells a unique story.

      • Is a Photographer Worth It for a Wedding?
      • How Can a Professional Photographer Add Value to My Wedding Day?

It’s Not Just About the Photos—It’s About the Experience

One of the biggest misconceptions is that a wedding photographer’s job starts and ends with taking pictures. In truth, the best wedding photographers offer a complete experience, guiding couples throughout the day. Whether you’re booking a photographer near me in London or Hertfordshire, Bipin will help manage your schedule, calm your nerves, and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Today, many photographers even offer online appointments for easy consultation and planning.

This isn’t something you pick up in school—it’s something you learn through years of experience. A professional photographer acts as part organiser, a friend, and a full-time storyteller, ensuring the couple enjoys their day without worrying about missed moments.

Lighting Is Everything—and It’s Constantly Changing

Lighting plays a crucial role in photography, but weddings have specific challenges—lighting changes constantly throughout the day. From outdoor ceremonies in natural light to dimly lit receptions, a professional wedding photographer knows how to adapt.

Whether you’re working with top photographers in London or Hertfordshire, the ability to manage lighting is key. Pros use their technical knowledge to work with golden hour light, darker venues, or any other conditions that arise. This is one of those skills that separates top-rated photographers from those who are just starting out.

Preparation Starts Long Before the Wedding Day

What many people don’t realise is that much of the wedding photographer’s work starts months before the actual wedding day. Many London and Hertfordshire wedding photographers meet with couples early on, offering online appointments to discuss their vision and build a detailed shot list.

Bipin also scouts wedding venues in advance if he has not photographed there previously. Understanding the layout, potential lighting issues, and best angles allows him to hit the ground running on the day. This level of preparation ensures the couple gets the best possible service, compared to other local photographers or one charging top rates.

Wedding Photographers Relationship with the Couple Is Key

A great wedding photographer knows the importance of building trust with the couple. Pre-wedding consultations, engagement shoots, and meetings aren’t just for photos—they’re about establishing rapport. The trust between the engaged couple and the photographer allows for authentic photos.

Whether you’re searching for local photographers near me in Hatch End, London Borough of Harrow, feeling comfortable with your photographer leads to more natural, relaxed images.

Timing Is Everything—and It’s Not Always in Your Control

Weddings rarely go exactly as planned. The timeline might shift, speeches run long, and moments happen unexpectedly. A professional wedding photographer knows how to adapt to these changes without adding stress.

Flexibility is key, whether you’re dealing with London‘s fast-paced environment or a more relaxed setting in Hertfordshire. Experienced photographers know how to pivot and adjust on the fly, ensuring every important moment is captured—no matter how much the day’s schedule shifts.

Editing Is an Art Form, Not a Simple Process

What many couples don’t see is the work that goes into editing after the wedding. Post-production is where wedding photographers really transform their raw images into great masterpieces. Whether you hire a photographer in London, the pros spend hours enhancing the photos, fine-tuning colours, contrast, and clarity.

This post-production work elevates professional wedding photography to an art form. It’s why top-rated photographers charge premium prices for the careful attention they put into each final image.

You’re Not Just Hiring a Photographer—You’re Hiring a Visual Storyteller

A wedding photographer is more than just someone taking pictures; ge is an observer and with his expertise in photography, he becomes a storyteller. Whether your wedding is in London, Milton Keynes, Watford Hertfordshire, or anywhere else in the UK, a skilled photographer will create a visual story of your lovely wedding day.

Bipin focuses on key moments, emotions, and details that make your day special, delivering a collection of images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. It’s about capturing the full scope of your wedding, from the anticipation before the ceremony to the joy of the reception.

A Professional’s Presence Is Discreet Yet Impactful

A great wedding photographer blends into the background while photographing the wedding ceremony. Bipin don’t need to direct every shot but can step in when necessary for the perfect photo.

Whether you’re hiring someone with top rates in London, this balance between presence and discretion is a key skill. It ensures your wedding feels authentic and relaxed while still resulting in a stunning gallery of images.

FAQ’s

How Much Are Most Wedding Photographers?

Most wedding photographers charge between £2,000 and £5,000 for a comprehensive package. This usually includes 8-10 hours of coverage, an engagement shoot, and edited images. Prices can vary depending on the region—London photographers often charge more due to the competitive market, while Hertfordshire options may be slightly more affordable.

Remember that cost also depends on the services you choose. Many couples add options like second shooters or a female photographer, which can increase the total cost of the wedding photography package.

These prices typically cover the photographer’s time on the day, consultations (sometimes available as online appointments), post-production editing, and the creation of digital or physical albums. You may pay a premium for top-rated photographers, but the investment is worth it for quality and professionalism.

Is a Photographer Worth It for a Wedding?

Absolutely. Hiring a professional wedding photographer is one of the most important investments for your big day. Your wedding photos will last a lifetime. A professional not only captures the key moments but also uses expertise in lighting, composition, and storytelling to create images that will be cherished forever.

The cost might seem high initially, but when you look back at those memories, you’ll see that it was worth every penny.

How Can a Professional Photographer Add Value to My Wedding Day?

A professional wedding photographer adds immense value to your wedding day. Beyond simply capturing images, Bipin Dattani brings experience, creativity, and technical skill. With nearly 20 years experience Bipin knows how to handle lighting challenges, work within the schedule, and produce stunning images, whether you’re booking a photographer near me or considering online appointments with London or Hertfordshire professionals.
