Your Love Story: Pre-Wedding Shoots
Before the wedding madness begins, let us focus on just the two of you. Whether it is a quiet morning in the tea gardens or a windy day at the beach, I am here to capture your story exactly as it is.

About Your Love Story: Pre-Wedding Shoots
If you are nervous about being in front of the lens, I offer a free test shoot to help us find our rhythm. It is a no-pressure way to see how we work together, get comfortable with the poses, and ensure the final photos feel natural, not stiff or forced.
I believe that the best pre-wedding images happen when you forget I am there. We move away from heavy directing and focus on simple movements—walking, laughing, or just standing still in the landscape.
How We Pick Your Location
I shoot across diverse terrains in and around Bengaluru, from the rolling hills of Nandi to secluded spots in the tea gardens. If you have a place that holds a memory, like where you had your first coffee or a quiet corner of your favorite adda, that is exactly where we should go. I want the backdrop to support your dynamic, not overpower it.
The Logistics
- Sessions: Typically 4 to 6 hours. This gives us enough time to settle in, change outfits, and catch the right light.
- Wardrobe: You have room for 2 to 3 changes. Whether you want to mix traditional wear with western or keep it casual throughout, I am happy to help plan how it looks on camera.
- Deliverables: You receive 40 to 60 professionally retouched images. My edit style is a mix of warm tones, clean color correction, and selective black and white shots to emphasize the mood.
Why a Test Shoot Matters
Many couples think they are not 'photogenic.' The truth is usually just that they have never been comfortable in front of a camera. The free test shoot (available if you book 2 months ahead) is my way of solving that. We get to know each other, you learn how I work, and by the time your wedding day arrives, seeing me with a camera feels like having a friend around rather than a stranger.

I am Parthiban. When I am not behind my camera, I am usually looking for that next perfect light or a spot where the world feels quiet. For me, a pre-wedding shoot is not about stiff poses; it is about catching the way you look at each other when you think nobody is watching.
