About Pre-Wedding & Engagement Shoots
The Story Before "I Do"
Before all the shaadi (wedding) chaos, there’s that one super special chapter that’s just about you two. I try to capture that vibe - those stolen looks, random jokes, the silent comfort - and turn it into memories you’ll actually feel, not just see.
Real Stories, Not Poses
I don’t just show up and say, “Smile!” I like to know your story. How you met, the inside jokes, what makes you two click. The whole shoot is built around that, so it feels like you, not some template.
- Formal glam? We’ll go all out with gowns, tuxes, and drama.
- Chilled-out and real? I love those shots, usually with candid, black-and-white feels.
- Traditional? I’m all for lehengas, sherwanis, and celebrating where you’re from.
Your Location, Your Vibe
Where we shoot totally changes the mood. I’ve done everything from Mumbai’s city energy, to chill Goa beach sunsets, to old-school elegant halls in Dubai and London.
- Want city chic? We’ll hit up cafes or the skyline.
- Dreaming of the beach? Let’s chase that golden hour.
- Nature or gardens? Always a mood.
Beyond Just Photos
If you want more than stills, I can do cinematic save-the-date video shoots or capture your proposal/elopement. These are perfect for couples who want their whole journey caught on camera, not just the easy bits.
How I Work
My approach is simple: fine art meets real emotion. I’m all about storytelling couple portraits, not just staged smiles. If you want photos that feel like you, flaws and all, we’ll get along.

My Story
Started out as a kid in my dad’s photo shop, just soaking in all the madness. Tried other stuff after college, but nah, couldn’t stay away from the camera. In 2017, we kicked off The Photo Store—simple goal, capture love in its rawest form. Getting called one of the best wedding photographers by Wezoree? Feels unreal. For us, it’s passion, not just business.
