About Couples & Lifestyle Photography
My camera is how I tell love stories - every stage, every little moment. I’m there for the big celebrations and the quiet in-betweens, whether it’s your first months together, a growing belly, or the laughter of forty years. Building real relationships with people is what matters most to me. Once you’re in, you’re family.
What To Expect
No forced smiles, no awkwardness. We keep it easy and playful. I’ll guide you, but mostly I want you to just be yourselves. Expect a lot of laughs, some silly prompts, and those calm, unscripted moments where the real connection shows up. That’s what I love to capture - the way you look at each other, the way you fit.
Sessions For Every Chapter
- Pre-wedding lifestyle session or just-because couple portraits - we can go themed, or keep it raw and everyday.
- Emotive maternity portraits - these are closest to my heart. Partners, siblings, whoever is part of your journey, bring them in.
- Creative anniversary photoshoot - doesn’t matter if it’s year 1 or year 41, I want to mark it with something special.
My Style
I’m all about natural light - those soft mornings or the dreamy golden hour are my jam. I deliver in both colour and black & white, because sometimes the emotion just hits different. I love playing with light, silhouettes, and creative angles to give each story its own vibe.
Where I Shoot
Based in Mumbai, but I shoot wherever your story takes us - gardens, city streets, beaches, you name it.
After the shoot, you get a gallery of edited photos plus short, heartfelt video reels. I put my heart into every image, and yeah, art takes time. But it’s worth it.

My Story
Hey, I’m Anupa. I see life in yellow, you know, that pure happy kind of light. Weddings? That’s where I find it most. My camera’s like my bottle for all that joy—tears, giggles, wild baraat dancing, and quiet bride moments before she walks out. Awards are cool, but those real in-between bits? That’s what stays with me. I don’t just snap photos, I feel the day with you.
