Intimate Home Wedding Photography in Delhi & Goa
There is a special kind of magic in the chaos of a home wedding. From sunny backyard ceremonies in Delhi to cozy gatherings in Goa, I love capturing the raw, unfiltered love that only happens when you are surrounded by the people who know you best.
This sneak peek from a gorgeous home wedding in Goa shows the beauty of an intimate celebration, complete with family, laughter, and even the family dog.

About The Heart of the Home
When you host a wedding at home, the energy is completely different. People do not feel the need to perform for the camera because they are in their own space. My job here is not to direct you, but to stay invisible so I can capture the bride laughing with her sisters on the staircase or a parent sharing a quiet, teary-eyed moment in the corner of the room. It is about the honesty of those small, unscripted exchanges.
Why Home Weddings Feel Different
There is an intimacy to a home wedding that big venues often struggle to replicate. Whether it is a South Indian ceremony in a Goa home or a Punjabi wedding in a Delhi backyard, these events are rooted in family history. My approach is to move around your space like a guest with a camera. I look for the light coming through the windows, the way you interact with your family in the kitchen, and the small details that make your home yours.
My Documentary Approach
I do not believe in telling you to stand a certain way or forcing a pose. My style is photojournalistic, meaning I document what actually happens. If you are worried about tight spaces or low light, do not be. I specialize in working with natural light and maneuvering through crowds to get the shot without being intrusive. I want the photos to transport you back to how you felt in those moments, not how you looked.
Where I Capture Your Stories
I split my time between Delhi and Goa, but I am always up for traveling for intimate celebrations. If you are planning something small, personal, and full of heart, I would love to be the one to document it. My goal is to deliver images that feel like a warm hug every time you look at them years down the line.
