A Surprise Performance by Katy Perry
One of the highlights of the wedding was undoubtedly Katy Perry’s surprise performance. Wedding photographer Himanshu Patel, founder of Epic Stories, shared insights into how this unexpected moment unfolded. While his team was privy to many details, the couple remained in the dark about several planned surprises, ensuring genuine reactions during the celebrations.
Patel noted, “The Katy Perry show on the cruise was a complete surprise for the couple. There were many elements kept under wraps to capture their authentic reactions.” This level of planning not only added excitement to the event but also provided unforgettable memories for the couple.
Unique Challenges and Innovative Solutions
Patel's journey as the wedding photographer was not without challenges. He recalled the demanding shoot in Jamnagar, which tested his team’s resilience. However, as the events transitioned to a more relaxed atmosphere during the celebrations in Italy, the team found joy in capturing the festivities. “It was a chill atmosphere where we actually enjoyed and bonded with the couple and their family,” he remarked.
Capturing the Moments with Wildlife Lenses
One of the most intriguing aspects of the photography process was the use of wildlife lenses. Patel disclosed that this was the first time they employed such equipment for a wedding shoot. "When they were sitting in their mandap, I shot their pheras from 200-300 meters away. It was tough and tiring, but it was necessary to respect the couple's privacy," he explained.
The Ambanis emphasized the need for discretion, prompting the team to adapt their strategies to ensure that every cherished moment was captured without intruding on the intimate atmosphere.
A Celebration Like No Other
Anant and Radhika’s wedding was more than just a union; it was a vibrant celebration filled with joy, surprises, and unforgettable moments. From star-studded performances to unique photography techniques, every element was meticulously planned to create a magical experience for the couple and their guests.
As the couple begins their new journey together, the memories of their grand celebration will undoubtedly last a lifetime, forever immortalized through the lens of a dedicated photographer.
