Mad Over Donuts

When Viral and I were looking out for someone to shoot our wedding, we were sceptical as we both are not natural posers nor we like getting photos clicked. I knew about The Bride’s Diary as Amruta had shot two of my close friends wedding a few years ago, and her work was fabulous. So we were quite sure and didn’t really look for many options. We must say Amruta and her team were amazing, patient and very creative. For the first time ever we were enjoying getting clicked and the end result was more than what we asked for. Not just us but our entire family and friends have loved the photos and video and have appreciated our choice. Thank you once again to the entire team of Brides Diary for being such an integral part of our big day and making it so memorable, that we will treasure the memories for lifetime. All the best and lots of love to the entire team.

Amruta and her team are a bunch of really hardworking, talented and super cooperative people!
Right after I contacted her, met her and went through her work I knew that the search for my wedding photographer was over. She’s always had a calm and patient air around her, which was what made the whole process right from discussing things to receiving the photos and videos so smooth.
The Bride’s Diary captured all of my wedding functions and my family and I are really happy with the end results. Wedding photography is certainly a physically exhaustive job but Amruta and her team did it with a smile on their faces till the very end. Also, special thanks to you, Amruta for post-processing and delivering the photos as quickly as you could as I was pressed for time. Thank you for capturing my precious moments so wonderfully! I’m going to cherish these pictures forever.
P.S. On the wedding day, she gifted me & Vikram a gorgeous album compiled of our engagement pictures and that was an adorably sweet gesture from her.
