Ashish & Kanika
Devi Garh in Udiapur has to be my favorite wedding venue in the whole world! Ashish and Kanika chose to have a more intimate wedding with close relatives and friends at the stunning palace just 30kms form Udiapur. I'd just flown in from Laos, where I'd been taking photographs for a charity, and even to me, with work to do, as soon as I arrived in Devi Garh I felt relaxed and totally spoilt! Viraj, one of Ashish's close friends is a wedding designer, and had pulled out all the stops for Ashish. I love his style of decoration. Using inexpensive colourful fabrics, flowers and candles, he transformed space after space into a magical wonderland, with each event having a different theme. Ashish and Kanika LOVE dancing! And they danced from lunchtime and into the night, despite the fact that they were getting married the next day! The raucous haldi events had them both covered in tumeric, flowers.... and beer! So a good clean up was necessary fro the regal evenings hindu ceremony. Night photography has been a favorite of mine for many years, but a wedding at night has different challenges. Luckily those good old fashioned video lights were there to make use of, and the mandap was well lit, so as usual, my flash was hardly used. An amazing event and treat for everyone!

The world’s poor spends a staggering US$ 40 billion annually for their energy needs. This equals 10 to 25% of their precarious monthly household budgets on dirty fuels like kerosene. Many remote villages in tribal India are still without electricity. Just £15.00 buys a solar light which will give a family more than enough good light on a daily basis when fully charged. Women can continue with their work, without the toxic hazard of burning kerosene and more importantly children can study into the evening without damaging their eye sight. Whenever I am given a charity donation my first thought is which village needs solar lights!
