I love capturing these intimate, deeply personal stories. ## Photos and videos - ![A portrait of Jessie and Purujit in the balcony of their ancestral wada.

There is less space, sure, but there is so much more character in the wooden frames and the courtyard light. My job is to move around the family and the rituals without getting in the way, making sure the home itself feels like a part of your wedding story. Home weddings, especially in traditional wadas, carry a feeling you just cannot get in a banquet hall. There is something special about getting ready in the room where you grew up, or having the pheras in a courtyard that has seen generations of your family. When I shoot these events, I do not look for grand backdrops. I look for the way light falls through old wooden windows or the corner of the veranda where the elders are catching up. It is about documenting the house as a character in your story. Because these spaces are often smaller, I keep my gear minimal. I do not walk in with big lights and a massive team that takes over your living room. I want to blend into the crowd so you forget I am there. This allows for authentic moments, like the chaos in the kitchen during a home meal or the genuine laughter during the haldi ceremony. If you are planning an intimate ceremony, do not worry about the space. Whether it is a heritage wada in Pune or a cozy family home, we will find the right angles. I am interested in the truth of your day, not a manufactured version of it. ## About Girish Joshi I am the guy behind the camera, looking for the real stuff, like aunties chatting in the kitchen and the sunlight hitting the wada courtyard. I prefer the honest chaos of a home wedding over a stiff ballroom any day. Let’s capture your family, not just a production.
