About Pre-Wedding Shoots
What I Do
I don’t just click photos, I try to catch the real story between you two. My pre-wedding shoots are all about those unscripted moments - the way you look at each other when you think no one’s watching, the silly laughs, the quiet hugs. I want you to forget the camera is even there.
How I Work
I keep things chill and easy. No forced poses, no fake smiles. I’ll guide you a bit, but mostly I let you be yourselves. I love using natural light and moody tones, mixing up rich colours with some classic black & white shots. The vibe is always cinematic, but never over the top.
Locations I Love
Based in Mumbai, but I travel wherever your story takes us. Some of my favourite spots:
- Rajasthan palaces for that royal, timeless feel
- Bali or Sri Lanka beaches for sun-kissed, relaxed shots
- Paris streets or Dubai’s cityscape for something iconic
- Forests, caves, or even wild places like Kenya if you’re up for adventure
What You Get
You’ll get both cinematic couple films and candid pre-wedding photography. My films are more like mini-movies, not just highlight reels. The photos? A mix of intimate portraits, candid moments, and those big scenic shots that make you go “wow”.
The Experience
I’ll wake up at 4am for sunrise or trek through mud if that’s what it takes. For me, it’s about making you comfortable so your real connection shows up in every frame. This is your story, I’m just here to help you remember it.

My Story
Hi, I’m Vaaibhav, the one behind Movie’ing Moments. People always ask about the name, and honestly, it’s simple - I see love stories as real-life films, no script, just those small, honest moments. Started out in Mumbai, but my camera’s taken me everywhere - Rajasthan, Mauritius, wherever love calls. Awards are nice, but nothing beats giving someone a piece of their story to keep forever.
My Work
Wedding Photography & Filmmaking - We do both photos and films for weddings, pre-weddings, and celebrations - two sides of the same story.
Candid, Unscripted Moments - No posing, no directing. We just watch and capture the real stuff - laughter, tears, chaos, all of it.
Cinematic, Story-Driven Films - Your story gets treated like a film - emotive, timeless, alive. Every frame matters, from big scenes to tiny details.
Destination Ready - Based in Mumbai but always packed to go anywhere - mountains, beaches, deserts. Your story, your backdrop.
