Cinematic Wedding Films and Candid Stories
My favourite frames, the most honest smiles, and a few stories that just clicked. This is what my lens sees when I am not chasing perfect lighting.
This is the kind of surprise I love to pull off. I created this entire wedding day teaser film for Akshi and Kewal in just a few hours and had it ready for them on their wedding day. It captures the grand scale of their Lonavala venue with drone shots and the quiet, intimate moments between them.
For me, a wedding film is all about moments like these. This is from Vishakha's Haldi, and it was full of so much genuine laughter and happy tears. I focus on capturing these candid, emotional wedding film edit moments that you will cherish forever.
A pre-wedding shoot is a chance to get away and just be yourselves. For this shot, we found a quiet spot in a river in Goa. It’s these unique, adventurous settings that make a couple's film truly special and personal.
My passion for travel filmmaking deeply influences my wedding work. This film from my trip to Spiti Valley shows how I build a story through landscapes, details, and human moments. This is the same cinematic storytelling approach I bring to your wedding.
Here’s a little peek into my obsession: color grading. This video shows how I transform raw footage into a rich, cinematic image with a specific mood and tone. Achieving that dramatic wedding color grading is a key part of my process to give your film a timeless feel.
Pre-wedding films can be so much fun. We created this playful, energetic video with a beautiful mountain backdrop. It’s all about capturing your personality, whether it’s quiet and romantic or fun and full of dance.
About Featured
A lot of people ask why my films look, well, like films. It is not just the camera gear, it is the hours I spend color grading in DaVinci Resolve. Whether it is the golden light in a Lonavala pre-wedding shoot or the chaotic energy of a Mumbai Baraat, I focus on correcting skin tones and adding that specific, moody contrast that makes a moment feel timeless. If you see a look you like in these shots, tell me. I can tailor the grade to match your vibe.
This collection is a mix of what I love shooting most: candid wedding moments, travel films, and the creative side-projects that keep my gear from gathering dust. You will notice I am not a fan of staged, look-at-the-camera-and-smile shots. My approach is simple, I treat your wedding like a documentary. I am usually found at the edges of the room with a prime lens, waiting for that blink-and-you-miss-it laugh or a teary-eyed hug. For the main films, I take inspiration from the travel diaries I shoot in places like Spiti. It is all about pacing, natural sound design, and building a narrative that is not just a highlight reel, but a story you would actually want to watch again. If you are planning something in Mumbai or want to fly me out to a destination like Goa or the hills, I am game. I usually work with a small crew to keep things unobtrusive, so the focus stays on you, not the equipment.
