Editorial Groom Portraits for Modern Weddings
The groom's story is the quiet, stylish heart of the wedding day. I focus on capturing everything from refined portraits to spontaneous celebrations with an editorial lens.
A classic portrait of the groom, Sid, seated in a regal armchair. His emerald green necklace provides a stunning pop of color against his ivory sherwani.

About this collection
You might be used to quick snapshots, but my process is different. I spend time guiding your poses, checking the light, and adjusting your ensemble to ensure your portraits look like they belong in a high-end magazine, whether we are shooting at the Taj Falaknuma or a private estate.
Great groom photography is about more than just standing in front of a camera. It is about capturing the mix of nerves, quiet reflection, and pure excitement that happens before the ceremony begins. I work closely with you to understand your personal style, ensuring that your portraits reflect who you are—not just a posed version of a groom.
My approach relies on an editorial style. This means I look for the way light hits a doorway, how your sherwani drapes, or the subtle texture of your fabric. I focus on the 'dapper' details—cufflinks, the precise fold of a pocket square, the look in your eyes when you see your partner for the first time. My mother, Nisha, often steps in to ensure your styling is immaculate, which helps immensely when we are trying to achieve that sharp, polished aesthetic.
We often dedicate specific time in the schedule for these portraits. If you are getting ready at a heritage property like the Rambagh Palace, I will use that architecture to frame you in a way that feels classic and grand. If you are having a more intimate ceremony, we focus on the raw emotion and connection. My goal is for you to look back at these photos in twenty years and feel exactly as confident and joyful as you did on the day.

I’m Suraj, and I believe the groom’s journey deserves as much focus as any other part of the wedding. My mom, Nisha, handles the styling side of things, making sure every look is sharp and editorial, while I handle the framing. Together, we make sure you feel like yourself, but polished.
