My Portfolio of Candid Moments and Festive Memories
I’m Ajinkya. These frames capture the heart of what I do: finding the story in the chaos, whether it is a quiet wedding ritual or a loud festive celebration. This is my vision, through my lens.
This is the kind of moment I live to capture. A beautiful, candid smile during a Haldi ceremony, filled with natural light and genuine happiness. It’s a timeless bridal portrait that you will cherish forever.
I love showcasing the intricate art of Mehendi. This collage highlights the beautiful henna details on the bride's hands, capturing the anticipation and tradition of this special pre-wedding ritual.
My cinematic photography style in action. I use creative lighting, like this dramatic blue hue, to create moody and artistic portraits that make your event photos look like stills from a movie.
Capturing pure, unfiltered joy is my specialty. This little one, dressed as a 'Chota Varkari' for an Ashadi Ekadashi themed shoot, has a smile that lights up the frame. I love creating these unique, festive memories for families.
The vibrant colors of Diwali. Here, I've composed a shot that brings together the festive attire, the warm glow of diyas, and the beautiful rangoli art, creating a perfect portrait for the festival of lights.
This is what it's all about: happy clients enjoying their celebration. A behind the scenes glimpse shows me capturing a fun, candid moment during a Haldi ceremony, ensuring no joyful memory is missed.
I enjoy adding an artistic touch to my festive photography. This Ganesh Chaturthi shot uses a color pop technique against a silhouette of Lord Vitthal, creating a powerful and unique perspective that blends devotion with creativity.
About Featured
I steer clear of stiff, fake poses. My focus is on the blink-and-you-miss-it moments: the way a bride smiles during Haldi, the glow of a diya at Diwali, or the pure joy on a child's face. If you want photos that feel like real memories rather than a staged catalog, we are a good match.
Photography is my way of documenting the life I see around me in Mumbai. Whether I am shooting a traditional Haldi ceremony or a candid festive portrait, my goal remains the same: capturing the 'me' to 'we' journey without making you feel like a model on a set.
How I Work
I keep the process simple. My gear is portable—primarily Sony Alpha mirrorless setups—which allows me to move quickly and blend into the background. I use a mix of natural light and subtle off-camera lighting to ensure the mood stays authentic, whether it is a bright afternoon in a Navi Mumbai venue or an indoor evening function.
What I Capture
My coverage spans the full range of events:
- Pre-Wedding Rituals: I focus on the intricate details and the emotional, candid exchanges during Mehendi and Haldi.
- Festive Celebrations: From Ganesh Chaturthi to Diwali, I love bringing out the color and cultural vibrancy of our festivals.
- Cinematic Edits: I don't just hand over raw files. Every event gets my signature color grading to keep the look classic and cinematic. You will get high-resolution, processed JPEGs, typically delivered within 7 to 14 days, depending on the package.
Pricing and Logistics
I offer transparent pricing based on the scale of your event. A 4-hour, single-photographer shoot starts at ₹10,000, perfect for intimate home gatherings. For larger functions, my 8-hour premium package includes a two-person team and studio-quality lighting setup, starting at ₹22,000. I cover all of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, and I am always happy to discuss travel if you have an event outside the city.

I'm Ajinkya. I don’t believe in standing back and just clicking; I believe in being part of the energy. Whether I am shooting a wedding or a festive function, I am always looking for that one genuine story that defines your day.
