About Maharashtrian Wedding Portraits
When I shoot, I look for the small details that get lost in the rush: the way the mundavalya frame your face or the specific shade of green in your bangles. I do not believe in over-posing. Instead, I wait for the moment you share an ukhana or a private laugh away from the stage, so you see yourself as you really are in your wedding photos.
A Maharashtrian wedding is defined by its specific, beautiful rituals, and my approach is to respect that. Whether it is the Antarpat, Saptapadi, or the playful ukhana, I make sure I am positioned to capture the emotion without interrupting the ceremony. My goal is for you to look back at these portraits and remember exactly how you felt, not just how you looked.
Why focus on traditional portraits?
Traditional wedding photography often misses the intimacy of the couple. I balance the classic shots—like the formal group photos with the Pheta and the bridal portrait in the golden silk saree—with a cinematic, candid style. This means you get a complete record of your day. I am mindful of the lighting and the environment, whether we are shooting in a bright mandap or an outdoor venue in Alibag or Pune.
My process:
- Ritual focus: I know the flow of Marathi weddings, which helps me anticipate key moments like the Kanyadaan or the haldi ceremony without needing directions.
- Detail-oriented: From the intricate henna to the jewelry details, I use high-definition cameras to ensure the textures are crisp.
- Comfort first: I spend time ensuring you are comfortable before the camera comes out, which leads to the natural smiles and relaxed body language you see in my gallery.
I offer full-day coverage packages that include both candid photography and traditional video, ensuring every part of your story is covered from the first ritual to the final reception dance.
