Pinki & Sanjay – Pre Wedding Saanji in Harrow.

A few pictures from Pinki and Sanjay’s pre wedding Saanji at the Lohana Sports Club in Harrow, Middlesex.

Sanjay is an established wedding photographer himself, so I was thrilled to be given the privilege of shooting their Saanji.

Here is a selection of images of the event.

You can view Sanjay’s own work on his website: www.sanjaygohil.co.uk

What a beautiful “decisive moment” you captured on that first image. You captured the little girl’s body language showing curiosity, and at the same time you caught her as she moved through a thin sliver of light. Are you secretly a ‘street photographer’ a la Henri Cartier-Bresson perhaps? :)

Thanks for the compliment Matt.. This shot is actually incomplete.. I saw the little girl wondering around the main dancing area and then she stopped to look around at the pot in the middle.. she actually had more light spilling onto her, but that light was blocked by at the very last minute by 2-3 guests.. the intention was to capture her looking angelic with a strip of light shining on her..

But still, it is one of my favourite shots from the day.. :-)

Oh wow – those shots are amazing!
Wish weddings in denmark where like that!

The little girl here is so cute. Great framing with keeping the dancers in a U shape around her.

It is amazing how many cultures there really is out there. All this in different kinds of weddings. It is very interesting to see this. And you manage to capture the photos in a way that makes you feel how intensive these moments must be.
