For me, wedding photography is not just about clicking photos, it’s about feeling the moment with you. I want you to look back and remember exactly how you felt, not just how you looked. ### Maharashtrian Weddings Are Home I grew up with Maharashtrian wedding rituals, so I know the meaning behind every small thing - the mundavalya, the gold jewellery, the colours of Haldi. I love shooting all kinds of weddings, but Maharashtrian ones are special to me. I try to capture the real vibe, not just the surface. ### What I Cover - Engagement (Sakharpuda): Romantic couple portraits, ring details, all the excitement. - Haldi & Mehendi: Candid, fun, and full of colour. I focus on those little moments - laughter, playful teasing, mehendi designs. - Wedding Day (Lagna): I document the rituals, emotional exchanges, and the big celebration. - Bridal & Couple Portraits: I love making portraits that show your personality and your bond as a couple. ### My Style I keep things real and candid. I’m not into stiff poses - I want to catch the real emotions, the happy tears, the chaos, the joy. My aim is emotional wedding storytelling, with a mix of creative portraits you’ll actually want to frame. Everything is manatla (from the heart). ### Where I Work Based in Navi Mumbai, often in Raigad, but I’ll travel anywhere for a good story. ## Highlights Browse through Swwarali Gaddre's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/swarchhaya/wedding-engagement-photography/featured) - [Video: This is what a love story in motion looks like.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing things right, but then I grab my camera and the world just gets quiet. My first big event was my cousin’s munj. Dipu kaku just trusted me, and that meant a lot. I love finding stories in small things - like an old aaji selling flowers, her smile brighter than the flowers. खरंच, आनंद छोट्या गोष्टींत आहे (Truly, happiness is in small things). ### My work - **What I shoot**: Weddings, events, Maharashtrian traditions, portraits, baby and maternity shoots, thread ceremonies, and more. I travel anywhere for a good story. - **How I shoot**: You get real moments - candid event photography, happy tears, genuine laughter. I want you to feel at home, like family. - **Special love for traditions**: Maharashtrian wedding photography, munj, haldi, Ganpati, but also open to other cultures and colourful festivals. I just love capturing feelings. ## More services from Swwarali Gaddre - [Maternity & Baby Photography](https://mytribe.in/swarchhaya/maternity-baby-photography) · ₹4.5-13.5K per session (estimate) - [Portrait Photography](https://mytribe.in/swarchhaya/portrait-photography) · ₹7.5-18K per session (estimate) - [Event & Celebration Photography](https://mytribe.in/swarchhaya/event-celebration-photography) · ₹10-24K per event (estimate) ## Book To book Swwarali Gaddre, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Wedding%20%26%20Engagement%20Photography%20by%20Swwarali%20Gaddre.)
