About Pre-Wedding Shoots
What I Capture
I’m all about catching the real vibe between you two before the shaadi. No stiff poses, no fake smiles. Just the two of you, being yourselves - whether that’s laughing at an inside joke or sharing a quiet moment. My pre-wedding shoots are about the connection, not just the look.
Pick Your Style
- Outdoor & Destination: If you want adventure, I’m game for a destination pre-wedding shoot. Beaches, mountains, or wherever feels like your spot. Running barefoot on sand, chasing sunsets, or just chilling somewhere that means something to you.
- City Romance: Love the city? I do urban love story photos at iconic places like Gateway of India, usually early morning for that calm vibe. Even chai breaks and street walks make for great frames.
- Studio Portraits: If you’re into something simple, I offer cinematic pre-wedding portraits in the studio. Clean white backgrounds, dramatic lighting, or even a pop of color for a modern twist.
My Style
I shoot candid couple photography, mixing color and black & white, always chasing that emotion. Sometimes the light’s perfect, sometimes it’s moody - I roll with it. My goal is to make photos that feel like memories, not just pictures.
Before the Big Day
The days before your wedding are special, yaar. Let’s make sure you have memories from this time that actually feel like you.

My Story
Hi, we’re The Wedding Diaries. People ask us, ‘What do you really do?’ Honestly, we don’t just snap photos, we bottle up wedding emotions – the crazy, the sacred, the full-on madness. Indian weddings are all chaos and charm, na? From ghantis and mantras to phoolon ki holi, we love catching those belly laughs and teary hugs. Awards are nice, but our real joy is making you relive your story, every single time you flip the album.
