We will pick a spot like the Colaba streets or Horniman Circle that feels like 'us', and I will guide you through natural movements, like walking, laughing, or just hanging out, while I capture the genuine chemistry between you two. My goal is simple: I want your photos to look like how it feels to be with your partner. Whether it is a pre-wedding engagement shoot, an anniversary, or just a day out in the city, I focus on the moments in between the main events. ### The Mumbai Experience Mumbai is my playground. I love using the natural light at the Gateway of India, the classic stone architecture of the Asiatic Library, or the quiet, random lanes of Bandra. We typically plan these sessions for the golden hour, right at sunrise or sunset, to get that soft, warm light that makes everything look cinematic. ### My Approach to Couple Shoots I avoid rigid posing. Instead, I suggest activities or movements that allow you to interact with each other naturally. If you are having fun, the photos will show it. I also love playing with shadows and using motion blur to add a sense of life and energy to the images. We will take about 3 to 4 hours, which gives us plenty of time to explore two nearby locations without rushing. You can bring up to 3 outfit changes to switch up the vibe from casual to a bit more dressed up. ### What You Get I am not just taking photos, I am documenting a story. You will get 40 to 50 high-resolution images that are color-graded and retouched to keep that natural, honest look. If you need a few photos quickly for an announcement or invitation, I deliver a set of 5 to 10 teasers within 48 hours. Let’s create something that feels authentic to who you are together. ## About Vrutika Doshi Hi, I'm Vrutika!
