Capturing the Soul of Maharashtrian Weddings
Maharashtrian weddings are full of emotion and tradition. I capture the laughter, the rituals, and the quiet moments that make your navjeevanachi sundar suruvaat, or beautiful start to a new life, truly yours.

This is a 'fulle re kshan', a moment of pure, blooming love. An embrace like this is so natural and heartfelt, it makes for the most beautiful and authentic couple portraits.
I love creating timeless couple portraits against natural backdrops. Here, the groom looks at his bride with so much affection, a candid moment that perfectly captures the beginning of their journey.

The rich colors of this couple's attire are stunning. The bride's deep purple and teal Paithani saree with traditional jewelry and the groom's elegant sherwani create a beautiful, classic Maharashtrian wedding portrait.

About Maharashtrian Weddings
A Maharashtrian ceremony moves quickly, from the Antarpat to the Laja Homa. My team knows exactly when the Mangalashtakas start, so we are always in position to catch the couple’s expressions without getting in the way of the guests or the pandit. We do not just shoot the rituals; we wait for the moments of quiet connection between them.
Beyond the vibrant colors of the Paithani saree or the traditional Pheta, the heart of a Maharashtrian wedding lies in its rituals. I approach these with a mix of respect and precision. Whether it is the Saptapadi or the emotional exchange of garlands, my aim is to capture the significance of the ceremony without turning your wedding into a film set.
We use the Sony FX3 Cinema Line for video and Nikon Z series for stills, which helps us stay discreet during intimate ceremonies. Lighting is a key part of my process. For evening receptions, we use a controlled Godox strobe setup to ensure those heavy bridal jewelry pieces and rich fabric textures pop in the final edit, rather than getting washed out.
If you are planning your wedding in the Mumbai Metropolitan Area or traveling further into Konkan and beyond, my team and I are ready to travel. We know the rhythm of the rituals, which allows us to anticipate the 'fulle re kshan' (the moment it blooms), that split second where the laughter becomes raw and the emotion is completely real.
