Water Bottle

Any wedding that happens on any scale is still grandeur because of the amount of details that goes into it. Beginning from the decoration of the venue, finding the right photographers , food and the list goes on. Among these huge list, water is an element that holds a huge impact but given least importance while planning.

Mostly it is left to the caterer to decide on the brand, size and so on. A simple water bottle holds a huge impact on environment and to the event.

For a wedding of 150 to 200 guests, close to 1000 water bottles are procured. The biggest concern is that almost half of these bottles are not disposed properly and they are not completely empty and mostly half empty. This way the amount of water wasted increases also the number of plastic waste is also increasing.

Annually about 10 million marriages happen in India, the number of litres of water wasted and the plastic wastes are alarming.

As a photographer who has been photographing weddings for the past 4 years would expect clients to start serving water in paper cups rather than giving it in water bottles, this way we can down the cost, save the excess use of plastics and control wastage of water.

Family and relatives of the Bride accompany her to the exit of the wedding venue, her parents leading the pack holding their daughter close. Before crossing the doorstep the Bride is given a handful of rice, and sometimes coins, which she is required to throw over her head behind her as she leaves. This is supposed to symbolize a repayment to her parents for all that they have given her throughout the years


The Father of the Bride is usually the last one in line to bid his daughter farewell before handing her off to her new life – her now husband. He requests of the Groom to care for his daughter and forgive her for her mistakes, to be a constant guide through their marital journey, essentially handing away his most cherished and beloved possession. This crucial moment defines this ritual and gives it its memorable emotional connection – a father’s love for his daughter in its true and raw form.
