Marigolds, then mundavalya
A haldi under an old tree, then a wedding that kept its sense of humour.
Weddings, as they actually felt.
Wedding photography and films for the moments, people and little in-between things you’ll want to remember. Based in Mumbai, available wherever your story takes us.
We photograph the day as it actually felt.
The rituals, yes. But also the haldi that gets out of hand, a cousin borrowing the rings, and a grandmother who has seen it all before and is still moved.
We stay close enough to see it and quiet enough not to change it. What you get back reads like your day did.

Notes from our couples
You didn’t just take photographs… you preserved the feeling of the day.
It’s been six months since our wedding, and every time we open our gallery, it feels like we’re reliving the day all over again. The laughter, happy tears, excitement, stolen glances, and every little emotion have been captured so beautifully.
You didn’t just take photographs… you preserved the feeling of the day. That’s something truly priceless. Thank you for giving us memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Pratiksha Dear Makrand dada,
However much we praise you, it will never be enough.
You are our genie sent by god who’s creating and crafting our dreams into reality.
An incredible photographer, a wonderful person, and so much more…
To everyone in your team, a huge thanks for understanding us and converting our dreams into reality.

I didn’t get the time initially to properly appreciate your work, but after finally sitting down and watching all the photos and videos, I truly felt the need to write this message.
From the very beginning, you made each and every event feel effortless, comfortable, and full of joy. From the pre-wedding shoot to all the wedding events, everything felt smooth and stress-free because of you.
What stood out the most was not just how beautifully you captured our events, but how you captured people for who they truly are. Your entire team made us feel so comfortable, made us laugh while clicking photos, and brought out the most natural smiles and emotions. Because of that, every picture and video feels so real and full of life.
You didn’t just capture beautiful events, you captured emotions, stories, and memories that we will cherish forever.

What we do
Wedding photography
Thoughtful portraits and spontaneous moments, put together as one visual story of your celebration.
Wedding films
The voices, movement and emotion of the day, in a film you will want to watch again years from now.
Couple shoots
Time before the celebrations, just the two of you, in a place that feels like you.
What to expect
From the first message to the last photograph.
Booking
A booking fee reserves your date and is adjusted against the final amount. The rest can be paid in full, split 50/50, or spread over six months.
On the day
A full day is eight hours of coverage, and we stay until around 11 pm. We only ask for a power point and a small table at the reception venue.
Your photographs
Your edited photographs arrive in about four to six weeks, in an online gallery that stays open for a year. Albums follow after you choose your pictures.
Your film
Once the music is chosen, your film is edited and delivered within 90 working days, with room for your feedback along the way.
Tell us what you’re planning.
Share your date, where it’s happening and a little about the people you’re bringing together. We’ll take it from there.
