How the studio began
It started in Pune with one borrowed camera at a friend's mehndi — and the quiet realisation that the best frames were never the posed ones. One wedding led to another, a second shooter joined, then an editor, and Chhaya grew into a full studio. What hasn't changed is the way we work: light on our feet, honest about what we can do, and a little obsessed with the moments most people miss.
Meet the team
The three people who'll actually be at your shoot.
Arjun
Lead Photographer
Ten years of weddings; happiest at a haldi with a prime lens and zero direction to give.
Neha
Second Shooter & Portraits
Catches the reactions the lead can't be in two places for — and runs our portrait sessions.
Kabir
Editor & Colourist
The quiet half of the craft — grades every frame warm and true, and cuts the wedding films.

A look at the work
Frames from recent weddings, portraits and sessions.
The road so far
One borrowed camera
A friend's mehndi, a borrowed DSLR, and the realisation that candid beats posed every time.
Behind the lens for real
Our first paid wedding — nerve-wracking, unforgettable, and the moment this became a calling.
A second shooter, then an editor
Two angles on every big day, and a colourist to make the whole set sing in one voice.
Travelling for the story
From backwater pre-weddings to hill-station receptions — wherever the story is, we go.
A full wedding & portrait studio
Photos, cinematic films and albums, still built around the same light-footed, honest way of working.
