Your pre-wedding journey is a story in the making. We focus on capturing the quiet glances, the laughter, and the chemistry that define the beginning of your life together.

About Engagements & Pre-Wedding
We approach every pre-wedding shoot by balancing candid storytelling with gentle direction. We typically spend 4 to 6 hours on site, allowing for 2 to 3 outfit changes, so you have ample time to relax and get comfortable before the camera captures your natural chemistry.
Why Your Pre-Wedding Matters
Your engagement or pre-wedding shoot is often the first time you work with us as a couple. It is a chance to shed the wedding-day nerves and get comfortable in front of the lens. Our goal is not just to give you pretty portraits, but to document the ease and connection you share before the big day.
How We Work
For these sessions, we send a dedicated 2-person team: one lead photographer and one cinematographer. This small footprint helps keep things relaxed. Whether you prefer the heritage architecture of Mumbai, the hills of Lonavala, or a quiet spot in Pune, we help you choose a backdrop that feels like you. We use Sony A7 IV and Canon R series cameras with fast prime lenses, which allow us to capture those soft, out-of-focus backgrounds that make portraits pop, even in low light.
What You Get
- Photography: You receive 30 to 50 signature retouched images. We handle the skin smoothing and cleanup for these 'hero' shots, alongside 150 additional color-corrected images to cover the full gallery.
- Films: We create a 1 to 2 minute creative highlight film. This is perfect for a 'Save the Date' video invite or a social media announcement.
Practical Details
We ask you to handle wardrobe and styling, but we are happy to suggest outfits that fit your chosen location. Costs for entry fees, location tickets, and your personal makeup artist are not included in our base package. We are based in India and travel frequently, so if you have a specific destination in mind for your shoot, let us know and we can plan accordingly.
