Featured Work: Candid & Traditional Photography
A selection of my favorite stories—from vibrant Maharashtrian rituals to quiet, candid moments between couples.
This is the kind of moment I live to capture. Pure, unscripted joy during a traditional Maharashtrian pre-wedding shoot. The laughter, the colors of the pheta and saree, and the genuine connection are what make a photograph truly unforgettable.
I love creating a moody, cinematic feel for pre-wedding shoots. Here in Mumbai, we used the classic architecture to frame this intimate moment, letting the couple's connection be the main story. The focus is on emotion, not just a pose.
There's something magical about the golden hour light on a quiet Mumbai beach. For this pre-wedding session, we kept it simple with white outfits, letting the warm sunset and the couple's gentle interaction create a soft, romantic atmosphere.
A perfect example of a relaxed, candid pre-wedding session. Just a couple sharing a book and a laugh at home. My goal is to make you feel comfortable enough to be yourselves, so I can capture the small, real moments that define your relationship.

The ring exchange is a pivotal moment in any engagement ceremony. I focus on capturing the anticipation and happiness of this promise, with the beautiful floral decor and falling petals adding to the celebration. This is documenting a core memory.
This video captures the beautiful tradition of the Marathi ukhana during an engagement. It’s more than just a ritual; it’s a moment filled with family, love, and cultural pride. I aim to preserve these living traditions in a way you can cherish forever.

About Featured
Whether I am shooting a traditional Maharashtrian engagement or a candid sunset pre-wedding session in Alibag, my focus remains on the small, real interactions rather than forced poses. I prefer to keep things simple—natural light, honest emotions, and documenting the traditions that truly matter to you.
My Approach to Photography
I believe the best photos aren't staged; they happen when you forget I am even there. My style is a blend of candid storytelling and artistic portraiture. By focusing on the 'choti choti baatein' (small things)—a subtle glance, a laugh during a ritual, or the way you hold hands—I aim to capture who you are as a couple.
Maharashtrian Heritage & Tradition
Capturing Maharashtrian wedding photography is where my heart is. I have a deep appreciation for the rituals that define our culture, from the intricate details of a Paithani saree to the significance of the ukhana. I don't just photograph the event; I document the culture and the emotions behind it.
Locations & Style
I primarily work across Pune, Mumbai, and Alibag. Whether we are heading to the beaches for a natural pre-wedding shoot or documenting your engagement ceremony at a local venue, I adjust my gear and lighting to match the mood.
- Cinematic & Moody: For pre-wedding shoots, I often play with light and shadows to bring out a dramatic, film-like quality.
- Natural & Candid: I keep things relaxed. If you are nervous, we will just talk and walk until you feel comfortable. No awkward poses, just you.
My goal is to provide a gallery that feels authentic to your story. I handle the technical side—lighting, framing, and editing—so you can focus on the moments. By the time I deliver your final photos, you should see the same emotions you felt on the day.
