Pre-Wedding Photography & Cinematic Shoots in Pune
Before your wedding day arrives, let’s capture the story of just the two of you. I focus on raw chemistry and quiet moments in locations that mean something, creating portraits that feel real, not just posed.
A moment of quiet connection by the water. This pre-wedding shoot with Nutan and Shubham was about capturing the serene and intimate side of their relationship, with her flowing red dress adding a touch of cinematic drama.
Standing together on the steps of history. This pre-wedding shoot at Sangam Mahuli in Satara uses the grandeur of the ancient temple to frame the timeless bond between Ankush and Aishwarya.
Finding beauty in the everyday. Chaitrali and Parth's pre-wedding shoot in Pune included a walk through a vibrant flower market, turning a simple setting into a backdrop for their love story.
A playful lift in the rain-soaked earth. These are the unscripted, joyful moments that make a pre-wedding shoot so special, capturing pure, unfiltered happiness.
Leading the way to their future. This shot from Ankush and Aishwarya's pre-wedding session uses the morning light and ancient architecture to create a frame that feels both grand and personal.
A story told in layers. For Chaitrali and Parth's pre-wedding, I used the architecture of Pune's old city to create a unique composition that speaks to their connection on multiple levels.
Lost in the moment, with the soft glow of the sun as our only witness. This intimate close-up from Nutan and Shubham's pre-wedding shoot highlights the raw emotion and connection I strive to capture.
A quiet walk through a historic landscape. This black and white frame of Ankush and Aishwarya captures a timeless, romantic feeling, focusing on their connection as they stroll hand-in-hand.
A lakeside picnic for two. These relaxed pre-wedding sessions are perfect for capturing genuine smiles and easy-going interactions, just like this moment shared between the couple.
A stolen moment of affection. During Nutan and Shubham's pre-wedding shoot, I focused on capturing the simple, beautiful gestures that define their relationship.
About Pre-Wedding Stories
I handle the logistics, so you just focus on each other. My pre-wedding packages cover an eight-hour day across three locations, giving us enough time to move from candid laughter in a flower market to romantic portraits in a quiet, historic spot. Whether it’s Pune’s heritage sites or a monsoon-drenched landscape, we have the flexibility for four costume changes to match the vibe.
Capturing the 'Why' Before the Wedding
A pre-wedding shoot is not just about getting photos for your social media feed. It is a chance for us to work together before the chaos of the wedding day. This time allows you to get comfortable with the camera and with me, so that when the wedding arrives, I am not a stranger with a lens but a familiar presence.
My Approach to Your Story
I avoid heavy posing or complicated instructions. Instead, I provide gentle direction to put you at ease, then step back to capture the way you laugh, the way you hold hands, and the quiet glances you share. If you are camera-shy, I specialize in activities-based shoots—like a picnic by the lake or a walk through an old market—where you are busy interacting with each other rather than thinking about the camera.
What to Expect
- Duration: We spend about eight hours together. This isn't a rushed sprint; it is a full day where we can chase the best light, from sunrise to the golden hour.
- Locations: We can visit up to three locations. I encourage choosing places that feel personal to you, whether it's a quiet cafe where you had your first date or a rugged landscape that shows your adventurous side.
- Variety: With four costume changes, we can shift from traditional ethnic wear for a grand, cinematic look to casual outfits for relaxed, candid shots.
- Deliverables: You receive 40 retouched signature portraits where I take care of details like skin smoothing and distraction removal, along with 100 color-corrected soft copies. You also get a 3-minute cinematic teaser set to music, perfect for sharing your journey with family and friends.
