We spend 4 to 6 hours together in two locations of your choice—maybe where you had your first date or a quiet lane in South Mumbai. The only thing you need to do is show up, be yourselves, and I will handle the rest. A pre-wedding shoot is your chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before the chaos of the wedding day begins. I shoot in a documentary style, meaning we move, we laugh, and we explore. ### How We Work We will spend 4 to 6 hours on our session. This allows us enough time to get past that initial camera shyness so you can actually relax. We plan for up to 3 outfit changes—casual, ethnic, or formal—giving you a variety of looks in your final gallery of 40-50 retouched images. ### Choosing Your Mumbai Backdrop Mumbai has endless character. Whether you want the heritage charm of South Mumbai, a coastal vibe, or a clean, modern aesthetic, we can pick two distinct locations. If you have a specific spot that holds personal meaning, tell me about it. That is always where the best photos happen. ### Getting Ready - **Styling:** Feel free to mix and match your outfits. I recommend keeping one look comfortable for walking and one that you feel truly special in. - **Timing:** We will track the golden hour to make sure we get that soft, cinematic light. - **Pets:** If your dog is part of your story, bring them along. I love including pets in these sessions. Everything is delivered as a high-resolution digital gallery. You get 40-50 signature edits, ready for your Save the Date cards or wedding wall. ## About Vrutika Doshi I am Vrutika, and I am always chasing the energy of this city with my camera. I do not see these shoots as work; I see them as a chance to capture the quiet looks and loud laughs that make your relationship yours.
