Your wedding is about the people you love. I focus on those unscripted, heartfelt connections that you will want to remember long after the last guest leaves.

## About The People Who Matter

When I shoot, I am not looking for the stiff poses that everyone expects. I am looking for the way your mom squeezes your hand, the inside jokes your siblings whisper, or how your pet sneaks into the frame. If you want photos that feel like your own memories rather than a staged magazine spread, let's talk about the specific dynamics of your family and who makes your wedding day feel like home.

For me, photography is not about clicking perfectly aligned shots. It is about the 'unnis-bees' moments—those little instances of chaos, laughter, and tearful hugs that make a wedding human. Whether I am shooting a cozy home ceremony in Delhi or a destination wedding in Goa, my approach stays the same: I stay in the background, document the real, and let the day unfold.

### Why Candid Matters
Authenticity is my baseline. We skip the awkward 'look at the camera and smile' directives. Instead, I capture the nervous energy while getting ready, the messy fun of a Haldi ceremony, and the quiet glances between partners during the ceremony. My style is photojournalistic, meaning I am there to record the story, not write it for you.

### Documenting Your Circle
Your friends and family are the heartbeat of the day. I prioritize candid shots of guests, siblings, and parents because those are the relationships that ground you. If your wedding is an intimate gathering of your closest people, I am in my element. I thrive in these environments because they allow for the kind of closeness that traditional photography often misses. 

### Getting the Best Out of Your Gallery
To get these results, we need to be on the same page. I love couples who are open, willing to let go of control, and value the messiness of real life. If you are planning a celebration that is less about the production and more about the connection, we are going to get along perfectly. Reach out, tell me about your people, and let's figure out how to document the real side of your story.
