## About Pre-Wedding & Couple Photoshoots

### Why I Shoot Pre-Wedding Stories

Been through my own wedding chaos, so I get how wild and emotional this time feels. For me, pre-wedding shoots aren’t just about pretty pictures - they’re about freezing those tiny moments before your big day. It’s your first chapter as a couple, and I want the photos to feel like you, not just some random poses.

### How I Capture Real Connection

I don’t do cookie-cutter stuff. My approach is all about catching real laughs, quiet glances, and that raw, playful energy you two have. Won a 'Fearless Award' for this style - basically, I love pushing boundaries and going beyond the usual pre-wedding mood.

### Your Setting, Your Vibe

I can help you pick a spot that fits you both. Could be the classic Mumbai city buzz, cinematic couple portraits at night, or something outdoorsy like misty hills or beaches. Into destination couple shoot ideas? I travel - Jaipur palaces, Dubai deserts, you name it.

### Unique Shoots I Love Doing

Monsoon pre-wedding shoot? Yes, I’m totally up for shooting in the rain - it’s super romantic. Also, if you’re planning a surprise proposal, I can help you set it up and capture every real reaction.

### My Style

Obsessed with light and details - whether it’s golden hour or moody shadows. I mix natural couple moments with creative stuff like reflections, and I deliver a blend of colour and black & white edits, all with my signature touch.
