About Pre-Wedding Shoots
Your Story, Not Just Poses
I don’t just snap photos - I try to catch the real stuff. The way you look at each other, the silly laughs, even the awkward moments. You don’t have to act or pose like models. We’ll chat, joke around, and I’ll help you relax so your candid couple portraits actually feel like you.
Pick Your Vibe
Every couple’s got their own style. Some want a romantic outdoor shoot with soft light and dreamy feels. Others go for heritage location photography, with old buildings and traditional outfits. If you’re into dramatic looks, I love playing with shadows and creative lighting. Or maybe you just want a playful engagement session, running around and being yourselves. Whatever you vibe with, we’ll make it work.
More Than Just Photos
I also put together a cinematic pre-wedding film - a short video montage with music, showing off the best bits of your day. It’s perfect for sharing with friends or as a Save-the-Date.
Real Moments, Real Chaos
Honestly, it’s not always picture-perfect behind the scenes. Sometimes someone’s running late and I’m like, “Are ye Kartik itna late ho gaya hai!” (Bro, Kartik is so late!). But that’s what makes it fun. The chaos, the laughs, the imperfect bits - that’s your story, and I love capturing it.

My Story
Been at this for 20+ years, camera in hand, chasing stories across 5 countries. I’m not just about clicking pics – I’m after those in-between moments, like a bride’s shy grin or the wild sangeet dance. For me, love’s got rhythm, and I try to catch it. Indore’s home, but I’ll travel anywhere for a good story. Memories should feel warm, real, not stiff – that’s what I aim for.
My Work
What I Offer - Destination wedding photography, pre-wedding shoots, and full wedding storytelling. I capture it all.
Story First, Always - I craft your day’s story, not just photos. Chemistry, candid couple moments, and all the little bits.
Experience Counts - Two decades in, I know when to spot the magic—big entries, quiet smiles, and everything in between.
Poetry in Pictures - My images feel like poetic wedding portraits—elegant, emotional, with a timeless vibe.
