About Pre-Wedding Shoots
Before the wedding rush, there’s this quiet chapter that’s just yours. I love capturing that - the real stuff, not the posed smiles. My pre-wedding shoots are all about the moments that actually feel like you two.
Real Moments, Not Perfect Poses
I’m not chasing perfect. I’m after the candid couple photography that shows your inside jokes, the way you look at each other, and those comfortable silences. If you want photos that feel raw and honest, that’s what I do.
Your Vibe, Your Story
Every couple’s got their own thing. Some want rustic outdoor engagement photos at golden hour, some dream of a heritage location pre-wedding shoot with old temples or classic architecture. If you’re into modern, bold looks or want to hit the road for something adventurous, I’m game. Bangalore’s home, but I’ll travel wherever your story takes us.
How We Work Together
We’ll chat about what feels right for you - location, outfits, props, whatever makes it personal. I handle the details so you can just be yourselves. My editing style leans warm, earthy, sometimes classic black and white.
Keepsakes That Last
You’ll get a gallery of high-res images and a cinematic love story film. Not just files, but memories you’ll actually want to look at again and again.
