When you are not rushing between rituals, that is when the real smiles happen—like the time I shot a couple right in their society's backyard instead of a studio. If you are okay with ditching the heavy posing in favor of just hanging out while I document it, we will get along just fine. ### Real Connection Over Posed Perfection You will not find me asking you to 'look left and smile' on command. Honestly, I do not think that makes for a good photo. My favorite portraits come from moments when you are genuinely comfortable—like that quiet walk down a tree-lined street or sharing a laugh in your own living room. ### How We Make It Happen I treat portrait sessions more like a hang-out. If we can squeeze in an early morning slot or find a quiet corner at your venue, that is where the magic is. Whether it is at a heritage site like Dhepe Wada or just your backyard, the goal is to capture the easy chemistry you two share. I might give you a nudge—like 'go stand over there'—but the rest is up to you. ### Why No Studio? Because your story isn't a studio set. It is in the way you look at each other, the way you laugh at your own awkwardness, and the comfort you share. We don't need fancy props or rigid lighting to make a portrait 'worthy.' We just need you two, some decent light, and the freedom to be yourself. ### What to Expect - **No Stress:** If the crowd is crazy, we wait. We don't force it. - **Natural Light:** I prefer shooting outdoors or near big windows. It’s softer and way more flattering. - **Fast Turnaround:** I edit these personally and get them to you quick, so you don't have to wait months to share your favorites. ## About Girish Joshi I'm Girish, and I'm usually found chasing raw emotions behind my Nikon. I don't do staged smiles or rigid posing; I just want to capture you being yourselves, quirks and all. Whether it's a quiet moment in a wada or chaos in your backyard, I'm just here to document the truth. 😄 [See all of Girish Joshi's services](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi) ## More from Wedding Photography & Videography by Girish Joshi - [Featured](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/featured) - [Cinematic Wedding Films](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/cinematic-wedding-films) - [Bridal & Groom Portraits](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/bridal-groom-portraits) - [The Main Event: Sacred Rituals](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/the-main-event-sacred-rituals) - [The Color & Chaos: Haldi & Mehendi](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/the-color-chaos-haldi-mehendi) - [Let's Get This Party Started: Sangeet, Baraat & Cocktails](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/let-s-get-this-party-started-sangeet-baraat-cocktails) - [Intimate Stories: Home & "Wada" Weddings](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/intimate-stories-home-wada-weddings) - [Artistic Eye: Creative & Monochrome Shots](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/artistic-eye-creative-monochrome-shots) - [The Little Things: Details & Decor](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/wedding-photography-videography/the-little-things-details-decor) ## More services by Girish Joshi - [Architectural & Interior Photography](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/architectural-interior-photography) - [Food & Product Photography](https://mytribe.in/storiesbygirishjoshi/food-product-photography) ## Similar work from other experts - [Candid Couple Portraits That Feel Like Your Real Story](https://mytribe.in/omi_bhoir_photography_/wedding-photography/candid-couple-portraits) by Omi Bhoir · Wedding Photography · Available for shoots across Mumbai, Pune, and Raigad - [Real Couple Portraits and Candid Love Stories](https://mytribe.in/camlensfilms/wedding-photography-videography/couple-portraits-our-love-stories) by CamLens Films · Wedding Photography & Videography · Shoots across Mumbai, Goa, Lonavala & Nashik; Studio in Dahisar East - [Couple Portraits: Authentic Moments and Timeless Photography](https://mytribe.in/melroycreadophotography/wedding-photography/couple-portraits) by Melroy Creado · Wedding Photography · Available for shoots in Mumbai, Goa, and across India - [Candid Couple Portraits: Capturing Your Unique Love Story](https://mytribe.in/roydtauro/portrait-photography/couple-portraits-your-love-story) by Royd Tauro · Portrait Photography · Shoots across Mumbai and travels pan-India - [Candid Photography That Captures Your True Self](https://mytribe.in/frozenvibesbynikhil/pre-wedding-couple-photoshoots/candid-moments-authentic-connections) by FrozenVibes by Nikhil · Pre-Wedding & Couple Photoshoots · Studio in Ghatkopar West, Mumbai; Travels across India for pre-wedding shoots - [Natural Couple Portraits in Mumbai](https://mytribe.in/melroy_f_photography/wedding-couples-photography/just-the-two-of-you) by Melroy F Photography · Wedding & Couples Photography · Travels across India for shoots; Studio in Borivali ## Book To book Girish Joshi, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%20Girish%2C%20I%20saw%20your%20Couple%20Portraits%20cluster%20on%20mytribe%20and%20love%20your%20candid%20style.%20Are%20you%20available%20for%20my%20upcoming%20shoot%3F) You can also send your own message based on what your user needs.
