Upanayanam Photography Bengaluru | The Search is on:
Upanayanam Photography Bengaluru: Mr. Ramani was not satisfied with what he saw. He was searching for Good photographers for his son’s Poonal function. Many freelancers showed their work, via instagram. But none of them knew anything about Upanayanam.
Fed up, he asked his friends and relatives for suggestions. And Mrs & Mr Anand very strongly suggested him to go with Baba Studio Coimbatore.
It was with an amount of reluctance he came to us. He straightaway told us he wants to see good Upanayanam Photography Albums, not an album boasting our wedding Photography skills. We immediately sent him the Upanayanam Photography Album of Thejas. While he was still going through the poonal photos, we sent him Harsha’s Candid Upanayanam Photography photobook. He was amazed. And we were amused. Then we explained about our three decades of upanayanam photography expertise. Finally, he was happy that he has found the right Poonal photography team for his son’s Upanayanam Ceremony.
Sashanth’s Poonal Function: Now that Team Baba Studio got the poonal Photography Assignment, we immediately set the ball rolling.
Save the date video: As always, we started with the ‘Save the date’ Video. First impressions go a long way.. And we did make a good impression here.
It is Family photo time: Upon arriving at the venue, we suggested to our client about having a portaits photography session. He readily accepted. Just before the evening’s function began, we made the first family happy with some lovely family pictures.
Udhagasanthi ritual: The Family portraits photography session was followed by Upanayanam rituals photshoot. First to come was the Udhagasanthi ritual. Our team did a good job taking nice photos of the ritual. The ritual ended with the ‘Abishekam’. Shashanth had a holy bath. Then the ‘Guardian thread or Kaapu’ was done. The evenings rituals were complete.
Candid photoshoot time: Sashanth along with his parent’s traversed through the guests. They were seeking the blessings of the elderly guests. We feasted on some great candid photos during the next 30 minutes.
Great Upanayanam Photography moments: Sushruth, Advith and Akshath are Sashank’s brothers. These young and energetic boys gave an electric feel to the venue. They were keen and observant at times. Sometimes they were playful. At times, a bit aloof. Whatever be their mood, it was a feast for our team of Photographers and Cinematographers. Those lovely photographs will certainly add beauty to the Album.
Upanayana Brahmopadesa Muhurtham: Though the Brahmopadesam was to be held between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM, the preliminary rituals started around 6:30AM onwards. Some sort of spiritual aura spread in the venue. The chanting of mantra’s added more to the mood. The Sacred thread was let to adorn Shashanth by 8:00AM. He has graduated from a boy to an adult. He will start his pursuit of spiritual knowledge. And with all humility, we were doing our Upanayanam photography job.
After having the traditional “Kumara Bhojanam ” Sashanth had another holy bath. And now it is time for his maternal uncles to carry him on their shoulders, sing and dance and celebrate. Santhana raman and his brothers did it with gaiety. With all fanfare, Shashanth reached the stage for his Brahmopadesam ritual.
Back to Spirituality, again: With the fun and feasting done, it was again spiritual. With traditional music and silent prayers of the elders, Sashanth underwent Brahmopadesam at the dot of 9:15AM. Our Upanayanam Photography team humbly thanked the almighty. God has allowed us to be a part of yet another great Upanayanam function.
Gifts Galore: Then it is Family get together and chit-chat all over. Having great meals and snacks, Friends and family started bonding. Most of them haven’t met each other in many years. Wherever there was a chance to get a good photo, we captured it. After all that’s what we are good at. Shashank was showered with gifts. But More than those presents, it is their Presence that made Mr. Ramani and his family more Happy.
The Group Photo session: During the preliminary discussions itself, Mr. Ramani made his wishes very clear. He was very particular about guest’s family photo with shashank. So after the busy session of rituals were over, we made quick arrangements for the group photos. No one was missed out. All families photographed. Mission completed.
An excellent Upanayanam Album: Without the cooperation of Sashank, this Album wouldn’t have come out so beautifully. The spicing up was taken care by shushruth, Advith and akshath. They were a candid photographer’s delight. And the support from Mrs. & Mr. Ramani was immense. And all this wouldn’t have been possible without Mrs. & Mr. Anand. Thanks to all of them, for helping us bring out an excellent Upanayanam Photography photobook.
The Upanayanam reel: Along with the Full version video, we made a montage video of the upanayanam ceremony. We dedicate this to All of the guests, who graced Sashank’s Upanayanam ceremony.
The Photo-booth: One thing that we missed is the opportunity to impress the guests with Instant photos aka Photo-booth. We were planning it initially, then Mr. Ramani had seond thoughts… and the moment is gone. We promised him that we will have Photo-booth and instant photo delivery as our top priority in the next function. That will be Shushruth’s Upanayanam Ceremony . Or will it be Advith’s Upanayanam..?? We will keep guessing. Will it be another Upanayanam Photography Bengaluru project? That is another that will keep us guessing.
