Sachin + Tejashree: Big celebrations, Small joys!
A story by Raj Mohapatra celebrating the love of Sachin & Tejashree.
When we shifted to our very first office in 2012, our first team member was Sachin! So, this one is deeply personal and special 🙂To us, he has always been the answer to every question, thats how important and crucial role he played at Stories.
What makes a wedding interesting and beautiful to shoot? Is it the beautiful location or decor or the outfits?We feel it's the genuine love and warmth that people share that makes the perfect wedding.
Raj shot Sachin’s wedding at his beautiful village where everyone knew everyone and food was the centre of any celebration! From the afternoon of the haldi, the neighbours started coming and helped set up the tent and started cooking. Men cut vegetables and set up stove to cook while the women decorated the house with haldi and sindoor. On the wedding day, an epic baraat that included tractors (yes, a first of us! 😂) headed off to Tejashree’s village with ladies singing folk songs all through the journey. The ceremony was small and the whole village blessed the couple. At one point the chaos felt like that of a mass community wedding! 😂
According to Raj, it was there, in the middle of this chaos that he felt the love and warmth of people and the belief in this blessed event of life, a marriage!
