Was all geared for the shoot. Almost tried to achieve the impossible. Everything was set. And the least expected happened.

He was in a fix..he had really liked the images and since it was genuine and has a deadline to meet he dint budge. requested till i agreed. i thought its a small feature nobody would really see it. so i shared my wedding images and forgot a
