The Colourful Ocean

The Colourful Ocean is hands down the best wedding photographer team you can ask for! I do not have words to express how grateful I am to Malvvika and team! The portraits she delivered for my sangeet are beautiful! I am finding it difficult to shortlist "the good ones" for framing because there are so many of them. As our event was in the night in a typical hotel, I was worried that the photos might be boring. But boy! Was I wrong! The teaser video she made captured the essence of that day aptly -- full of fun and laughter. She was able to bring out the playfulness in my darling, typical introvert husband ;) she made him so comfortable that he was laughing throughout -- which is a lot to say for a person who is rather shy in front of the camera. Malvvika went beyond what we asked her in her deliverables too and she wanted to send more crew to capture the event than what we had asked for, in the same budget! She made this once-in-a-lifetime event unforgettable for us. Much much love! My father also loved getting shot by her team. My entire family remembers their team's names.

The best people we worked with during our wedding were the team at Colorful Ocean. From the get-go, our interactions with Malvika were positive. She is super kind and understanding, and a fantastic person to work with. Before the wedding, she was always there to answer any questions we had and was incredibly helpful. When I met the team, I realized that Malvika's optimism and magnanimity resonated with the entire team. Their videos and photos are absolutely phenomenal. I want to share below a few behind-the-scenes experiences with the team that truly went a long way with us, and our family and friends: - The team was absolutely punctual in arriving and patiently waited even as some of the functions started late. They were among the last people to leave the functions. During our wedding, by the end of which everyone was extremely tired, the entire team waited for us to finish dinner so that they could capture a 5-minute ceremony. I really appreciated this—it was needless, but the team went above and beyond. - The team was always polite and spoke kindly with everyone. They were overly patient in capturing photos with large groups and never made any impositions on anyone for the sake of better photos. I have come across photographers who get impatient when people do not comply with their instructions for posing in a group photo. The Colorful Ocean team is a rare exception. Their politeness was appreciated and remembered by many of our guests even after the wedding. - During the wedding, the team wanted to capture interview bites with close family members. Given the chaos of the day, it was hard to find even a moment's time. The team closely kept an eye on schedules and was extremely flexible. Somehow, without being an imposition or forcing anyone to take out time, they got the interview bites by fitting themselves into the 5-10 fleeting minutes that we had available. - We and our friends had an absolute blast at our haldi function all thanks to the team. They choreographed a lot of the event and prompted our friends. We really appreciated their help in making the function so much fun. - They fully delivered on all their promises. Not only did they respect the timelines of the deliverables, but the quality of the content is phenomenal. My favorite photos are the candid ones, which truly capture the fun and excitement, and the beaming happiness on everyone’s faces. In fact, for many of the photos, including the ones where we are all on the dance floor, I cannot believe how the photographers captured the moments so beautifully and naturally because they never came in our way. Overall, we were extremely lucky to have worked with Malvika and the team. We really appreciate them and are super grateful for all the fantastic memories they captured so beautifully. I would, without hesitation, recommend the team!

We met a lot of photographers. But when we met Malvika we just knew it. She had done my best friends wedding just a year back and I got a lot of good reviews about the team. The team at the colourful ocean was just like friends and they didn’t make it like the typical photography team. Heard very detail and executed it.Source

We couldn't be happier with our experience with The Colorful Ocean for our wedding on 7 and 8 December, 2023. Malvika and Sawan and team are true professionals in every sense. From our pre-wedding shoot to the big day, they were creative, attentive, and captured the most amazing moments. The pre-wedding shoot was top notch—it set the perfect tone for what was to come. Malvika and Sawan made us feel comfortable and at ease, bringing out our personalities in the most natural way. They had fantastic ideas and knew exactly how to frame each shot to make us look our best. During the wedding, they were discreet yet thorough, capturing everything without us even realizing they were there. They beautifully documented our special day, and when we saw the photos, we were blown away. The colors, the emotions, the candid moments—they got it all. It was like reliving the best days of our lives. We highly recommend The Colorful Ocean to anyone looking for outstanding wedding photographers. We (Chahal and Tushar) couldn't have asked for better! Thank you, Malvika and Sawan and Team! You guys are amazing! Manifested you guys as our wedding photographers and thank god for it. So much love and power to you guys! 💗💗

Absolutely stellar! Our experience with Malvika was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment they arrived, it felt like they were not just capturing our special day but becoming a part of it. By the end of the wedding, it felt less like a professional relationship and more like a cherished friendship. Their ability to connect with everyone emotionally was remarkable. They understood the highs and lows of the day, empathizing with both the bride's and groom's moments of lost patience. Their presence was a calming force amidst the chaos, ensuring that every moment was captured with care and understanding. The deliverables were not only punctual but also exceeded our expectations. They accommodated every iteration we requested with grace and precision, ensuring that the final products were tailor-made to our specific desires. Their attention to detail and commitment to meeting our needs truly set them apart. We couldn't have asked for a better experience In one word, they are the best out there! Thank you, Malvika and team (The Colourful Ocean), for making our wedding day even more memorable!

If you are looking to make your wedding memorable, then choose them without a single doubt in your mind. The team is really hardworking and devoted and the end results are worth it. Thank you Team Colourful Ocean for your incredible work.

It was the best decision to get “the colourful ocean” on board to capture our big day. I can’t emphasis enough how important it is to get a good photographing partner. The entire team is super friendly, super cool, super funny, super professional and super proactive. They gelled with the entire gathering so well. They were omnipresent, they made sure they capture everything and nothing is missed. It’s a great team led by a great leader Malvika Rudra. She’s an absolute sweetheart. She’s so approachable and has such a calming effect. I remember even before the wedding there was this one day and I was losing my sanity and she just messaged me “let’s catch up for a coffee and you vent out everything”. This meant so much to me. She goes above and beyond to make the bride comfortable. The colourful ocean was not a vendor for me, they were our partner. Thanks guys! Keep the good work going.

The Colourful Ocean is a team of really talented people, and their professionalism and communication is top notch. Malvvika and the entire team is so comfortable to speak to and they understand your vision so well. From the moment we met for the Pre wedding shoot, we felt that sense of familiarity and saw passion come alive in the work that they do. They will go out of their way to ensure you get the most dreamiest memories. Malvvika and the team exhibit a perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness. We were in awe when we received the pictures and videos, and each moment was captured so beautifully, it just made both of us really emotional. It was clear that the songs were chosen with a lot of intricacy and attention, and all the videos- especially the promo gets us teary-eyed every time we watch it. I would highly recommend the team to anyone looking for their big day.
