We must be blessed, for in each other's arms, we find heaven's embrace, eternal and divine

Hues of dawn were about to brush the sky golden when the keys turned, and my car engine gingerly buzzed alive. It was a beautiful spring morning in Bengaluru, and I was headed to the city’s beautiful and vast outskirts. I had the sweet company of Priya and Shashank, a young couple who were about to embark on a pre wedding photoshoot adventure with me.

It was not long before we arrived at an olden temple near Chikballapur. The sun now gleamed from the sky, and the air was still fragrant with the morning dew. The temple, in its earthy tones of whites and browns, fostered a tranquillity that took over us quickly. And right across, the hills waved a gentle hello with every wisp of fresh breeze.

And so, as the tender rays of sunlight cast a soft glow upon the temple's ornately carved walls, this pre wedding photoshoot in Bangalore gracefully unfolded. Priya and Shashank stood hand in hand, their hearts entwined in the promise of forever. With each stolen glance and delicate banter, the couple revelled in the magic of the moment, their laughter echoing through the hallowed halls. Adoring portraits made way for traditional pre wedding poses, as Priya and Shashank paid worship to the deities and chatted up with a kind old Kannadiga lady.

Before we knew it, the joyous outing was approaching its winsome finale. We made the most of our final few minutes together with even more laughter and exchange of stories. All the while, my enlivened hands clicked away on the camera for more glimpses of this stunning Indian traditional pre wedding photoshoot. Priya and Shashank then walked hand in hand into a vivacious future, with the echoes of their love lingering in the sacred air of the temple. I like to look back at this fleeting memory from a blessed day as a timeless reminder of love and all the beauty it brings.
