THE BEGINNING .
Well, We had to pack our equipment and start our journey on April 02 2024 , because it was April and the summer heat waves had set in. For me it is good weather and is definitely the best for travel and pre wed shoots. So Our trip was set and I boarded with my friends from Bhubaneswar —
THE SHOOT
As we reached on Semliguda , On April 03 ' 24. We Checked In Ourself in a Hotel over there and prepared Ourself for the shoot on next day.
DAY 1 :- BALDA
We are ready to set our foot on Balda Caves & Balda Lakes . It was around 14 30 hrs and we headed towards Balda and reached around 16 00 hrs for the Golden Hour Shoot at Hill Top
Outfit for our pre wed shoot had already been discussed earlier few days before the journey so as to plan accordingly for better result. Satish use his experience over there and captured great shots while we assist him for the lights. Indeed it was a total team work and a great experience for all of us.
DAY 2 :-

PENDJAM & PUTSIL
After Lunch , We sail ourself for the shoot at Putsil and Pendajam . After a ride of about 30 mins we reached at our location . Beating the heatwaves we finally managed to get good pictures on golden hour . Totally worth location for pre wedding shoot.
DAY 3 :-
DUDUMA WATERFALL
Duduma, one of the most majestic waterfalls was half visible because of overcast conditions. We waited on the hills with the camera on our hand to steal that look as the clouds slowly and cinematically parted. As paradise staged me a drama.
DAY 4 :-
ON HIGH RESORT
Any time is a good time for coffee .
As we woke up we started our journey towards the On High Resort . On High Resort is a farm stay where coffee beans are cultivated in the shades of Pine Forest . Though it was the last day as well as the last location of our shoot everyone was filled with energy till the last shot .
No doubts , we had a fun together along with capturing some good photos .
