Sunrise in Arashiyama is something magical. When I went to shoot Dawn and Navin on their pre-wedding shoot, I did not get the impression that it was a photoshoot but rather a mini silent movie playing in front of my eyes. No scripts, no cues, no dialogues, only silences, full of intimacy and sweet beauty.

They came earlier than the city had gone to bed, and instead of the sound that the city had to offer, they sold the calmness of a morning and gentle tones of pinks and golds. At the beginning of the first hour, all was in place; light, texture, stillness. Each frame felt like a memory waiting to become real.
