We haven't seen a Syrian Christian wedding on our blog so far and to break the spell, here you go guys! Featuring the beautiful wedding of Tanya & Navin at Kottayam, shot by Gayatri Nair of Weddings by Gayatri. "After I left Chennai to shoot their wedding at Kottayam, half way through my journey, a really sinking feeling set in that I had forgotten to bring memory cards. I stopped the car, and checked my bags and indeed I had forgotten! I started to panic! I was miles away from the city and around me were only small towns where I knew I would not be able to find the high-capacity/high performance cards I use'to shoot weddings. Thankfully I happened to know about Elvin, who had shot in Kottayam several times, and found a studio in Kottayam (that kept faster cards and that were nice enough to stay open for me!). I can't remember the same of the studio but I really want to thank them for staying open and helping me! This wedding shoot would not have been possible without you! Thankfully, the wedding next morning, went off smoothly and everything worked like a charm (except I was a little slower than normal due to the card speed). I'm sure, Tanya & Navin had no clue about all this as they were quite the chirpy couple smiling through what I am convinced was the hottest day in Kottayam. I was also really impressed with the post-wedding reception, something I've never witnessed before or since. Everyone sat. Everyone stayed quiet while people talked on stage. I also liked how simple the wedding lunch menu was. There was pulao rice, raita, fried fish, chicken curry followed by a pudding. If only other couple follow this simplicity. I'm tired of seeing 100 items on wedding menus! In the evening, there was an intimate reception held in Kumarakom with some speeches, cake, bubbly followed by some dance floor shenanigans (which I can't post). Thank you Tanya & Navin for having me over!" :)
