Why I Love These Photos - Indian Wedding Shoot with Fujifilm X-T4
From the Vidaai at an Indian Wedding
In this video, I look at a few images from an Indian Wedding that I photographed last year.
The stills that I discuss in the video are below.

What is the Vidaai?
The Vidaai is where, in Hindu Weddings, the bride's family bids an emotional farewell to their daughter as she heads off with her new husband.
It's always a very emotional part of the day that I have to photograph sympathetically as a documentary wedding photographer.
It was a beutiful day, full of colour, emotion and love.
The next day was to be the Western Dance Party in Ealing, and I will cover that in a subsequent entry on this website.

A Note on the Editing of these Photos
These photos were edited with my professional grade Lightroom Profiles using the Delta 800 Preset for the monochrome and Astia Profile base for the colour.
A complete film-inspired Profile, Preset & Workflow Pack for Lightroom
Film Edition 2 is a structured Lightroom preset and profile pack designed to help you create film-inspired edits quickly and consistently. Built around a broader mix of colour looks, monochrome styles, Legends presets, and practical workflow tools, it gives you a flexible editing system rather than a handful of isolated preset effects.
This is not a random collection of slider-based presets. The live page positions Film Edition 2 as a more advanced follow-on from Film Edition 1, with a stronger focus on film stock emulation and a new modular approach to building your own look. It also introduces the Legends Presets, which aim to capture the feel of some of your favourite photographers, alongside colour- and monochrome-profile-based processes.
If you edit regularly in Lightroom, you already know the problem. You want variety and character, but you also need the pack to stay practical across a full set of images. Film Edition 2 is built to give you that balance. The profile-based looks give you a strong starting point, while the included utilities and noise-reduction tools help you shape and refine the result without slowing your workflow.
