About this collection
My approach to Haldi and Mehndi is about being a fly on the wall, not a director. I wait for the moments you don't even realize are happening, like the exact second you share a laugh while the mehndi is being applied or the playful chaos during the phoolon ki haldi. These ceremonies are fast-paced and unpredictable, which is exactly why I love them; they are the most honest reflection of your family’s energy and your unique love story.
When I shoot Haldi and Mehndi ceremonies, I prioritize movement and candid emotion over stiff group portraits. These events usually take place during the day, which can be tricky with harsh overhead sun. I know how to navigate this, moving between bright, open spaces and shaded areas to ensure your skin tones look natural and the vibrant colors of your decor pop without being washed out.
Whether you are planning a carnival-themed haldi in the gardens of Jim Corbett or a traditional ceremony in a Delhi residence, I adapt my gear and style to the environment. I love capturing the specific rituals, but I am equally focused on the periphery—the aunties laughing, the children running around, and the shared glances between you and your partner.
If you have a vision for your decor, let me know. I have worked with everything from minimal setups to elaborate, flower-heavy, or carnival-inspired designs. My goal is to deliver a set of images that feels like a coherent narrative of your day, not just a folder full of random snapshots. I am comfortable traveling for these shoots, so whether you are staying within Delhi NCR or heading to the hills for a destination celebration, I am ready to tag along.
