Photographers
Gaatha (Priyanshu, Rachana, Atish, Siddhesh & Gaurav) The experience we had shooting with them was so so impressive. Right from the first shoot in Mumbai to our pre wedding and wedding in Bali and back to Mumbai. They were not the "make this pose - do this thing - can you do it again" photographers. They literally captured us in our truest most genuine forms. The talent that the team has is immense and they use their creativity in every corner that they find! The results that we are seeing in terms of photos and videos that they are creating is nothing short of a movie. All our friends have told us stuff like “let’s discuss each photo for 10 mins, those videos are like a trailer, the photos are incredible” They not only get your emotional self, they also remind you to smile at times, help you when you are feeling uncomfortable, try to get shots of everyone around as much possible and make sure you dont feel pressured of any sorts! They are very fun and very friendly which automatically makes conversations easy! We had sent them a couple of photo references and during the wedding they would come up to us, remember those references and made sure we got them! We did our pre-wedding shoot at a waterfall in Bali and after the wedding we visited Portland, USA and did a 10 waterfall hike and were like "Gaatha would have had so much fun shooting here" They have become a part of our normal vocabulary everytime we click a nice shot or look for a nice frame.
Venues
Selecting the venue was a process for us, specially cause we were doing the Bali and planning it from United States. Thank to 2FL this process also became smooth. We reached the venue, and we have seen this venue in photos/videos multiple times, it was so grand and beyond our imagination. It screamed architecture, heritage and culture to us and we were immensely happy with our decision to get married here!
Wedding Planners
To talk about Namrata who is the heart and soul of 2FL is quite emotional for me. My husband and I were looking for wedding planners and literally the one thing that stood out to me when talking to Two fat ladies was their name. It was interesting and sparked a curiosity in me to know more about them. I spoke to a lot of people after Namrata but somehow our very first conversation made me feel very warm and at home. Once Namrata gave us a rundown of the process, spoke with us about our requirements and our budget, we knew it was her! She was going to be our teammate for a very personal experience that we wanted to create, specially because we decided to do a wedding in Bali while living in two different states of the USA ourselves. It started with giving us venue proposals. She was very clear and knew exactly what to prioritize at that time. We went through multiple calls at odd times (she always adjusted to our time and date), videos, photos of different venues in different places and then selected Ayodhya Bali Resort, Nusa Dua - Bali. Then came the decor discussion. Karan and I are both designers and we had very specific demands and needs in terms of the smallest of design elements that might be hidden to the normal eye. She made sure she heard us through it all. I knew at some point we wanted to do lemons and purple flowers for the center table piece for Haldi and it was too tough to find that amount of cheap lemons in Bali but on Haldi once we got some time, we saw the lemons and I was like omg, I see you and thank you! She was a part of us throughout the detailing, explained stuff to us that we did not understand, was very communicative about everything even if something was costing more than expected - she tried to find cheaper options for us or have a valid explanation for it. The 2 months before the wedding were insane, we did about 3-4 calls every week cause she wanted to make sure that as we came closer to the day there were no surprises for us. She also recommends the remaining crew (Photographer, DJ, MUA) understanding the vibe of the couple. For me, she felt like an older sister taking care of me. There have been times when I have called her and dumped my feelings on her. She takes care of you and she cares deeply about you. I think that is all that you need. I know with her, I have created a bond of a lifetime and we are still in touch about life in general. A lot of people who I have spoken to who get married always say, “the day goes by fast”, “ remember to have fun”, “make sure you get to enjoy” Which honestly we had been telling ourselves too but the preparation we had done with Two Fat Ladies over the past year came to life & how! Karan and I both trusted them completely and they did not disappoint at all, in fact they gave us the gift of the beautiful and seamless memories we created. We reached the venue, and I kid you not we have seen this venue in photos/videos multiple times, it was so grand and beyond our imagination. We chose this venue mainly because of Namrata as she insisted that this would be perfect for us. And it was. Every step from our guests arrival to the end of the wedding and breakfast the next day was seamless. Karan and I did not have to remember to have fun. We actually got to experience every single emotion at every event. Seeing all our designs and decor come to life right from the start was emotional and heartwarming and genuinely magical. I was insistent on having a mandap with Kaleera decor as we did not want flowers and we actually transported the kaleeras for our whole mandap to Bali! The thing, she never says no - she will be like okay - I’ll figure it out. Every single person at the wedding was praising the efforts, the compassion and the hardwork of our amazing planners and her team. Long story short, she is compassionate, will work with what you need and hears you out when you need it, she is very transparent about everything, the communication level is brilliant and there is nothing and no problem that team Two fat Ladies can’t solve! Definitely 200% recommend them for your wedding! I would say, you will immediately feel at home with them and that’s all you need.
Bridal Makeup
Ruupa & Krupa are a perfect mother daughter combination who work so very well together. They did my hair & makeup for all my wedding events and I have never felt so pretty while still feeling like me. They don’t let you lose the essence of who you are, help you make cute reels, also get some behind the scenes on their phone when you photographer is clicking you guys and have a very happy and positive attitude. They use products that are good for your skin and prep your skin as well before the makeup!
Mehendi Artist
Hansa Aunty and her team did my bridal mehendi and I have been following their work since the past 2 years! I knew when I saw their work is that I wanted them only! I was so so happy with the final mehendi and got tonnes of compliments from people like " I have never seen this beautiful of a mehendi, it's just so beautiful and intricate" And genuineley saying I have never seen such a beautiful mehendi myself!
