Timothee Semmelin and Yukiko Murayama realised the ultimate Indian
dream on the occasion of their first wedding anniversary. The couple
travelled to New Delhi and orchestrated, with a little help from their
friends, the perfect Bollywood-inspired couple shoot.
In an interview with Huffington Post, Chawla said, "This was definitely a lot of fun, even though it was very last-minute. I received an e-mail from Tim, five days before the shoot. I arranged the whole thing for them, including the makeup artist, a lady called Shruti Sharma and themysticalcloset for jewellery."
Indian
clothes, jewellery, classic filmy poses, complete with the Taj Mahal in
the background, the shoot is an apparent fairy tale shot by the
Delhi-based Lakshya Chawla.
In an interview with Huffington Post, Chawla said, "This was definitely a lot of fun, even though it was very last-minute. I received an e-mail from Tim, five days before the shoot. I arranged the whole thing for them, including the makeup artist, a lady called Shruti Sharma and themysticalcloset for jewellery."
The
shoot was packed and spread rather tightly across Delhi, Agra, and
Jaipur. “Permissions to shoot in front of the Taj are impossible, so we
went to the back side of Taj Mahal (Mehtab Bagh) since there are less
people there and you get a decent amount of privacy.”
Lakshya also helped Timothee and Yukiko put together their outfits for the shoot, the chunni and safa, Lajpath Nagar for peacock coloured footwear for her and classic Punjabi joothis for him.
"Tim was quite shy about his ensemble, but Yuki fell in love with it.
"Yuki made a special request for Jaimala and Gajra.”
The
couple's fascination with Bollywood is evident, and keeping this in
mind Chawla even choreographed a few classic Bollywood inspired shots
for them.
