00:00I used my mother's bedsheets and sarees.
00:03You know the birthday tassels that you hang behind yourself?
00:06So that I put in front of my camera lens.
00:10I hope to achieve a really nice,
00:13like a very smoky, beautiful environment.
00:25The pre-wedding photographer was charging somewhere
00:28between Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 50,000.
00:44So they wanted to obviously, you know,
00:47do like a nice pre-wedding shoot.
00:48And they had a videographer for it.
00:50They were in talks with them.
00:52I went to him and I was like,
00:53I know you already have a pre-wedding shoot planned out,
00:56but I would like to also do something,
00:57you know, for you guys in my style.
01:11Got some jewelry sourced for them from brands.
01:14And I think this was very new for them because
01:16they have never, you know,
01:18experienced like a proper photo shoot
01:20where we are getting ready and everything.
01:22I did my brother's makeup,
01:23which I actually have done in the past.
01:25So it was kind of cute to, you know, do it again.
01:28And that too for like his pre-wedding shoot.
01:34Took us the entire day.
01:35I think we started at around 9.30, 10 a.m.
01:38and ended at around 9.30, 10 p.m.
01:41Hats off for them to actually sit through all of that,
01:43especially wearing that heavy lehenga.
01:45Fan was off in the room because we had the smoke, right?
01:48And the light, when the light is hitting your face,
01:50you're already feeling so hot with all the makeup.
01:56I just worked with whatever I had at home.
01:58I used my mother's bedsheets and saris.
02:01I always steal them for my videos.
02:03And I use that as my backdrop.
02:05The bedsheet had some gold detailing on it.
02:08The light reflected on it so beautifully.
02:10You know, the birthday tassels that you hang behind yourself?
02:14So that I put in front of my camera lens
02:17so that it kind of gave like a really cool,
02:20flimsy look to it, you know?
02:22So that it kind of gave like a really cool flare effect.
02:26And the third thing that we did was using incense sticks
02:31or as we call it, dhoop, to achieve like a really nice,
02:35like a very smoky, beautiful environment.
02:43So we both kind of were coming up with some different poses
02:47and ideas and also scrolling Pinterest
02:50and watching some music videos.
02:51I was telling her to maybe, you know, do like this.
02:53I was holding her hand and making her do this.
02:56Then holding the chunni and doing this.
02:58And we had to take a lot of retakes.
03:01Two, one, and come.
03:21The wedding photographer, actually, very funny.
03:23He came up to my brother and he said that a lot of couples
03:26are sending them this video as a reference,
03:28that even we want a pre-wedding shoot.
03:30And he was like, I'm literally shooting their wedding
03:32next week.
03:41I think this video has to be one of my most watched videos
03:46in all these eight years of creating content.
03:49For a change, you're looking handsome.
