About Pre-Wedding & Engagement Photography
How I Capture Your Story
Every couple’s vibe is different, so I don’t do cookie-cutter shoots. I look for those real moments - your laughter, the way you look at each other, even the awkward takes that sometimes turn out to be the best ones. If you hear me say, "Matte matte, eradane take," (Again and again, second take) it just means I’m chasing that perfect candid shot. I want you to feel at ease, so I keep things fun and relaxed - nothing forced.
Styles You’ll See
- Candid couple portraits in soft, natural light
- Cinematic love story video, like a trailer for your wedding, with pro-level editing
- Vintage feels with classic cars or retro props if that’s your thing
- Adventurous shoots, maybe with a Mahindra Thar and rugged locations for bold couples
- Heritage vibes - sarees, dhotis, ancient temples, grand architecture for a timeless look
Where I Shoot
I’m based in Bangalore but I love to travel. Beaches like Honnavar are amazing for sunset shots or fairy-lit night scenes. Sometimes we hit up quarries, lakesides, or fields for a natural location shoot. Bangalore’s city lights bring a modern twist, and heritage spots like Melukote give those epic, traditional backdrops.
What You Get
After the shoot, you’ll get a set of edited, high-res photos and a cinematic pre-wedding film that’s all about your story. No stiff poses - just the real you.
