About Pre-Wedding Photoshoots
Your Story, Not Just Photos
I don’t just click pictures - I try to capture aapki kahani (your story). It’s about those small moments, the laughter, the way you look at each other. My aim is to make your pre-wedding shoot feel real, not staged.
Comfort Comes First
If you’re awkward in front of the camera, don’t stress. I hear “Aapne itna comfortable kar diya” (You made us so comfortable) a lot, and honestly, that’s what I want. I’ll guide you, but I won’t force stiff poses. The best candid couple portraits happen when you’re just being yourselves.
Pick Your Scene
We shoot almost anywhere, but some vibes just hit different:
- Golden hour photography on the beach - soft light, romantic feels
- Hills and mountain roads - moody, dramatic, sometimes rainy
- Nature spots - forests, lakes, parks for those dreamy shots
- Grand indoor setups - classic, formal, elegant
Make It Yours
Bring your ideas. Want creative pre-wedding themes? I’m game. Outfits, props, even recreating your proposal - let’s plan together. I love adding a touch of magic with smoke bombs, mirrors, or anything quirky.
My Style
I play with light, angles, and cinematic editing style. Sometimes it’s all about that sunset glow, sometimes it’s dramatic lighting. I just want your photos to feel like you.

My Story
Hi, I'm Jay. Photography for me is about catching those choti choti (small) moments - the secret smiles, the quick laughs, that soft look. I want you to feel relaxed, jaise dost ke saath ho (like you're with a friend). Clients say, 'You made us very comfortable,' and sach bolu toh (to be honest) that's what I love most. Based between Navi Mumbai and Nashik, always ready to run around and make memories with you.
My Work
Wedding Photography & Films - I shoot weddings, pre-wedding shoots, and cinematic wedding films, capturing your entire story from start to finish.
Candid & Artistic Style - My focus is on candid wedding photography and timeless wedding portraits, not just posed shots.
Comfort First - Making you comfortable is my priority. When you’re at ease, the best memories get captured.
Flexible Locations - I mostly work in Navi Mumbai and Nashik, but happy to travel wherever your story goes.
