We shoot the moments between the poses

We shoot the moments between the poses

The posed group shot has its place. But the frames you'll come back to are the unguarded ones — your mother fixing your dupatta, a cousin mid-laugh, the quiet look right before the saat phere. We stay light on our feet, out of the way, and let the day happen. Then we shape it, frame by frame, into a story you'll actually want to sit with.

About the studio

What we shoot

One studio for the whole story — from the big day to the quiet in-between.

Weddings

Full-day candid coverage — haldi, mehndi, sangeet, the mandap and the reception, all of it.

Pre-Wedding

A relaxed shoot at a fort, a backwater or your favourite corner of the city — your story before the day.

Portrait & Family

Studio or on-location sessions for couples, families and the milestones you want to hold on to.

Newborn & Maternity

Gentle, unhurried sessions — soft light, safe hands and frames you'll frame.

Events

Birthdays, anniversaries, naming ceremonies and corporate evenings, covered with the same care.

Product & Commercial

Clean, catalogue-ready product and brand shoots for shops and small businesses.

Good to know before you book

How do we lock in our date?+
Once you've picked a package, we hold your date with a booking advance and a simple written confirmation. Dates in wedding season go fast, so the earlier you check your muhurat with us, the better.
What exactly do we get, and when?+
A same-day teaser of around 30 frames first, then the full curated, colour-graded gallery to download. Albums and prints follow once you've picked your favourites.
How long is the turnaround?+
The teaser is same-day or next-day. The full edited gallery typically takes three to five weeks depending on the coverage, and we'll always give you a clear date up front.
Do you travel outstation?+
Yes — we shoot across India. For destination and outstation weddings we add travel and stay at actuals; tell us the location when you enquire and we'll quote it clearly.
Can we get the raw files?+
We deliver hand-picked, edited high-res images rather than raw files — the edit is a big part of how the work looks. If you have a specific need, just ask and we'll talk it through.
Do you do wedding films and drone too?+
We do — cinematic wedding films, highlight reels and drone coverage where it's permitted. Films are added to any wedding package; share your plans and we'll suggest the right coverage.
Is there always a second shooter?+
Every wedding-day and full-wedding booking includes a second shooter, so two angles are always rolling — the ceremony and the reactions at the same time.
What if it rains or plans change?+
We plan for it — backup gear, sheltered spots and a flexible eye. If a shoot has to move, we'll reschedule to the nearest date that works for everyone.
