[custom_adv] Quirky, candid, romantic — pre-wedding or post-wedding photoshoots have become a ritual beyond the ceremonies for many young couples. When Hrushi Karthikeyan and Lakshmi got married on September 16, they could not hold an extensive wedding ceremony or do a photoshoot due to the COVID-19 restrictions. [custom_adv] But when they decided to get a photoshoot done recently, the couple had a theme in mind — a boudoir session, where the couple ‘appear’ scantily dressed. Hrushi and Lakshmi chose to drape white sheets around them for their photoshoot. [custom_adv] With the help of a photographer-friend Akhil Karthikeyan, the couple got the photoshoot done at a beautiful spot among the tea plantations in Vagamon in Kerala’s Idukki district, where they celebrated their honeymoon last week. [custom_adv] “Most wedding shoots are cliched, where the bride and the groom, wearing traditional veshti and saree, hold hands and walk around the temple. We wanted to do something different and decided to do a post-wedding shoot,” says Hrushi. [custom_adv] The idea was suggested by Hrushi’s family friend Akhil Karthikeyan, who runs Wedding Stories, a wedding photography company based in Thrissur. [custom_adv] The couple, who had already uploaded their wedding ceremony pictures on social media, put up these post-wedding pictures, too. However, their excitement was short-lived. Soon after they posted the pictures on Facebook on Thursday, the pictures were met with abuse, trolls and vulgar comments from social media users.
