A dreamy pre-wedding shoot destination in Kerala

Love has its own language, and for Ela & Sai, it spoke through nostalgia, elegance, and timeless romance. Coming from two different worlds Ela from Romania and Sai from India their love story beautifully blends cultures, emotions, and traditions. To reflect this unique connection, they chose a vintage-themed pre-wedding shoot set against the breathtaking backdrop of Ponmudi hilltop.



Why Theme Shoots Are Special
Theme shoots allow couples to express their personalities and love story in a meaningful way. Instead of ordinary frames, a concept-driven shoot brings out emotions, creativity, and vision. For Ela & Sai, the vintage theme symbolized slow romance, old-school charm, and a deep emotional bond — making every photograph feel like a scene from a classic love story.hoot was a perfect mix of nature, emotion, and the timeless beauty of Kerala’s iconic pink lily season.


Location & Aesthetic
The misty mountains of Ponmudi, surrounded by lush greenery and delicate wildflowers, added magic to every frame. The cool breeze, soft fog, and natural light created a dreamy atmosphere that enhanced the romantic mood. Every corner of this hilltop location complemented the vintage vibe, making the visuals rich and cinematic.
To elevate the concept, we styled the shoot with vintage accessories like an antique clock, fruit baskets, and classic props that brought character and depth to each shot. These elements helped create a nostalgic environment that felt both authentic and soulful.



Capturing the Beauty
For this shoot, we used the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 DS lens to capture soft, emotional portraits with dreamy background blur, highlighting the couple’s expressions and connection. To showcase the stunning landscape and wider frames, we used the Canon 15–35mm f/2.8 lens, which beautifully captured the surroundings while keeping the couple as the focal point.

Final Frames
Each frame tells a story — of love, trust, and togetherness. The blend of misty hills, vintage styling, and heartfelt emotions resulted in visuals that are timeless and deeply romantic.
