Stories of Togetherness: Couple Portraits & Engagements
I capture the chapters that build your life together, from nervous ring exchanges to milestone anniversaries. Let’s freeze the moments that matter most.
A love story 25 years in the making. We created this cinematic anniversary film at the beautiful Saltt Resort in Karjat, focusing on the quiet, soulful moments that define a lifetime of togetherness.
The best moments are often the ones filled with laughter. This candid shot from Amey and Swarali's engagement captures a moment of pure joy and connection between the couple.

This short film is a collage of beautiful moments from Dr. Mukund and Sayali's engagement. It blends scenes from their outdoor couple shoot with the vibrant celebration at their engagement party.

This collage captures key moments from an engagement day. It shows the couple during the ceremony, a candid selfie moment outdoors, and a formal portrait against the beautifully decorated stage.
About this collection
I don't just ask you to pose. During engagement shoots, I wait for those seconds when you forget the camera is even there—the look when the ring finally slips on, or that quiet moment of hand-holding during the ceremony. It is those real, unscripted seconds that almost always end up being your favorite photos.
Whether you are celebrating a 25th anniversary or just starting your journey with an engagement, I believe the best shots are the ones you don't plan. I mix candid, documentary-style photography with classic couple portraits to show the full scope of your relationship.
My Approach to Couples
I prefer to shoot in environments where you feel comfortable. Whether that is a quiet resort in Karjat, a local garden, or right at home, the location is secondary to the emotion. For engagement ceremonies, my team and I focus on the 'hidden' moments—a laugh shared between you, a tear in a parent's eye, or the way you look at each other when the rituals pause.
What You Get
- Cinematic Films: Beyond static images, I create highlight reels that capture the energy of your celebration. These aren't just montages; they are stories set to music that you will want to re-watch every anniversary.
- Ritual Accuracy: I understand the sanctity of rituals like the ring exchange or traditional Marathi ceremonies. You won't have to guide me; I know when to be in the center of the action and when to step back and let the moment breathe.
- Technical Details: I use a 2-3 person crew for events to ensure I get both the wide-angle shots of the venue and the intimate close-ups of the couple. All digital deliverables are color-corrected and retouched in-house to maintain a consistent, warm aesthetic.
If you have a theme or a specific location in mind, let's talk about it. My goal is to capture the promise of 'sat janma' (seven lifetimes) in a way that feels authentic to who you are today.
