Palak Purswani & Rohan’s Clean, Modern Luxe Pre-Wedding Shoot around Singapore
Drawn to modern architecture balanced with natural greenery, Indian actress, model and content creator Palak Purswani decided to hold her pre-wedding shoot in Singapore.
Struggling to choose between clean, stylish contemporary lines or lush foliage as a backdrop? Take a look at Palak Purswani’s pre-wedding shoot, which features a charming blend of both across three different locations in Singapore. Effortlessly refined and full of natural moments, the shots taken in the city close to Palak’s heart were a perfect reflection of her relationship with Rohan.
How did the two of you meet?
Palak: Rohan and I met through mutual connections at a restaurant, and what started quite naturally eventually turned into something much deeper. I think one of the nicest things about our relationship is that it never felt forced. We gradually got to know each other, spent more time together and realised how naturally we fit into each other’s lives.
What really stood out to me was how comfortable I felt around him. There was a sense of ease from the beginning, and over time that comfort turned into a really beautiful friendship and relationship.
What is it about your partner that you love the most?
Palak: I think what I love most about Rohan is how grounded and calm he is. He brings a sense of balance into my life and makes me feel completely comfortable being myself.
He genuinely supports everything I do, whether it’s my acting, content creation, travelling or the new things I’m trying to build. He never makes me feel like I have to choose between my ambitions and our relationship. He is always encouraging me to go after what I want.
And, of course, he makes me laugh. I think being able to laugh together and genuinely enjoy each other’s company is one of the most important things in a relationship.
What was the moment that made you realise that he was the one for you?
Palak: It wasn’t really one single dramatic moment. It was a collection of little moments where I realised that I could genuinely see Rohan being a part of every version of my life.
I realised he was the person I wanted beside me not just during the exciting moments, but also during the ordinary, everyday ones. The comfort, friendship, trust and sense of home that developed between us made me realise that this was something very special.
How did Rohan plan the proposal?
Palak: Rohan planned the proposal in Cappadocia, which made it incredibly special because the entire setting was magical.
He managed to keep most of the details a secret, which wasn’t easy because we were travelling together and I’m naturally quite curious! He had thought through the details and wanted the moment to feel personal and meaningful rather than overly-staged.
Cappadocia was already such a beautiful place for us to experience together, and turning it into the place where he proposed made it even more unforgettable.
Palak, did you know a proposal was coming before it happened, or were you taken by surprise?
Palak: I think I had a feeling that a proposal could happen at some point, but I definitely didn’t know exactly when or how it would happen.
So while the idea wasn’t completely out of the blue, the actual moment still took me by surprise. What made it even more special was knowing how much thought Rohan had put into planning it.
Looking back, Cappadocia was the perfect place for it. It’s one of those memories that will always feel incredibly personal and special to both of us.
What was your pre-wedding shoot planning like?
The planning was actually really exciting because we wanted the shoot to feel very natural, aesthetic and very “us.”
We went around Singapore and did a recce of different locations to figure out what would work best visually. We explored places including Fort Canning, the Fort Canning Tree Tunnel, The National Gallery and the Marina Bay waterfront.
Our photographer, GrizzyPix, was incredible throughout the process. He had such a great eye for locations and details, and together we were able to find some really beautiful and aesthetic spots that worked perfectly for the shoot.
We wanted the photographs to feel editorial and luxurious, but at the same time capture our chemistry naturally rather than making everything look overly-posed.
Why did you choose Singapore for your pre-wedding shoot?
Singapore is very close to our hearts. We have extended family there, so it has always felt a little like a second home to us, and we visit quite often.
We also love how Singapore brings together everything we were looking for in a pre-wedding shoot. It’s ultra-modern, luxurious, clean and incredibly aesthetic, but at the same time has so much greenery and beautiful architecture.
It felt like the perfect backdrop for us because it’s a place we already love and feel comfortable in. So the shoot wasn’t just about choosing a beautiful destination; it was also about documenting this special phase of our relationship in a place that feels like home to us.
What was the actual day like? Were there any challenges along the way?
The actual day was a beautiful mix of excitement, getting ready, changing outfits, travelling between locations and trying to make everything look effortless in front of the camera!
Like any shoot, there were little things that didn’t always go exactly according to plan—timings, moving between locations and making sure we got the right lighting. But honestly, we didn’t let any of that take away from the experience.
GrizzyPix made the entire process so much easier. He knew exactly how to work with the locations and make us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
We also tried not to get too caught up in getting the “perfect picture.” We wanted to enjoy the day together, and I think that is what ultimately made the photographs feel so natural.
What were some memorable or funny moments during the shoot?
There were definitely plenty of funny moments because we suddenly became very conscious of things we normally wouldn’t think about—where to stand, what to do with our hands, how to walk naturally while knowing there was a camera following us!
There were moments when we’d look at each other and just laugh because we knew we were trying so hard to look effortless.
Those candid moments ended up being some of our favourite parts of the shoot because they felt the most like us.
What is one piece of advice you’d like to share with other couples currently planning their pre-wedding shoot?
Don’t get too caught up in trying to recreate something you’ve seen on Instagram or Pinterest.
Your pre-wedding shoot should feel like you as a couple. Choose a location, outfits and photography style that reflects your personalities and your relationship.
And most importantly, enjoy the process. Don’t spend the entire day worrying about getting the perfect shot. Some of the best photographs happen when you’re simply enjoying the moment together.
What is one lesson you’ve learned from your pre-wedding shoot that you’d like to share with other couples?
Planning is important, but being flexible is equally important.
You can have a detailed mood board and a timeline, but once you’re actually there, you have to allow yourself to go with the flow. Some of the best photographs and memories come from moments you didn’t plan.
For us, the shoot was ultimately less about getting a collection of perfect photographs and more about documenting this particular phase of our relationship and having fun with each other while doing it.
