About Pre-Wedding Photography & Films
My Approach
I like to keep things raw and natural—none of those stiff, awkward poses. With 11 years behind the lens and hundreds of love stories, I know the best moments happen when you’re just being you. I aim to capture those genuine laughs, stolen glances, and all the little details that make your story yours.
Your Story, Your Way
Every couple’s different, so your shoot should be too. We can brainstorm together and come up with a vibe that really fits you. Some ideas I love:
- 90s Mumbai feels or a throwback vintage road trip
- Editorial, high-fashion looks with city lights
- Lifestyle stuff—your hobbies, your quirks (I once did a pickleball theme!)
- Super simple and cozy, like a rainy walk or a field picnic
When we nail it, all I can say is, "Kya baat hai!" (What a moment!)
Favourite Locations
Mumbai is my backyard, and I know its moods—sunrise at Gateway, midnight Marine Drive, or chaos at Dadar flower market. If you want nature, we can hit the beaches, green fields near Karjat, or even chase the rain for those candid pre-wedding moments. Destination shoots? Goa cliffs, Dubai deserts—you say, I pack.
Films, Not Just Photos
Your story moves, so should your memories. I make cinematic love story films with your voices, laughs, and even the bloopers—because real is always better. You get a main film, a teaser for Insta, and a reel of all the fun behind the scenes.
Keeping It Real
Some days, these shoots get tiring—hu gayo chhu (I am tired)—but seeing you two just being yourselves makes it worth every second. Even if you’re camera-shy, we’ll get that authentic pre-wedding video and those magic moments you’ll remember.

My Story
Hey, I’m MJay. Been clicking love stories for 11 years, 700+ shoots, still not bored! I chase those raw smiles, goofy laughs, quiet hugs. Mumbai’s streets, CST’s chaos, sunsets at the beach – all add their magic. Sometimes the day drags, ‘abhi toh aadha din baaki hai’ (half the day left), but couples’ energy keeps me going. Give me a small idea, we’ll make it pinterest-worthy. That moment their dream shoot happens? ‘Kya baat hai!’ – that’s why I do it.
