Between all the noise and celebration of a wedding, there’s always a pause.
A moment where it all begins to sink in.
I don’t know what they’re thinking in that second, but I know it’s real.

And that’s my favorite moment to photograph.

The simplest things are often the most beautiful.
The most effortless moments are usually built on something deeply rooted.

People often ask what makes a good couple portrait. It’s rarely the location, the light, or the pose. It’s the love they share and the comfort they find in each other.

When two people are truly at ease together, everything around them becomes beautiful.

Always wanted to share these photos of @pvsindhu1 & @dattavenkat

Photos age differently. The older they get, the more they make you feel. That’s why I love revisiting old wedding galleries they don’t just remind you of a day, they take you right back into it.

Looking through these moments from their wedding reminded me that the real value of wedding photographs isn’t just how beautiful they look, but how beautifully they preserve a feeling.

Years from now, these won’t just be photos. They’ll be a time capsule of love, laughter, happy tears, and the people who made that day unforgettable.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from their beautiful day

Earlier this year, work took me to Baku. Squeezed in a bit of exploring whenever I could, and now I have one more reason to go back. Loved the architecture, the city, and the little corners I got to see. Next time, no work. Just wandering.

Finally went and photographed the flamingos

This had been on my wishlist for a long time, but somehow never happened. Then Instagram started showing me flamingos on every second reel 😂

First time shooting these birds and I still don’t know much about their behaviour, but watching thousands of them move together so perfectly felt unreal. Missed the flying in and out of the birds. so I guess I’ll have to go back again.

If you’re in Mumbai, go witness the Greater Flamingos at least once. But please respect nature. Don’t throw stones or disturb them just to make them fly for content.

Shot these on @sonyalphain @sonyalpha A7R V + 200-600 GM

This is how aloo bonda is dipped in besan, not a haldi ceremony 😄😂

This was one of those pure, unfiltered moments that makes a wedding unforgettable.
No staging, no direction — just life, laughter, and a whole lot of yellow.
Moments like these are why I love wedding photography
Grateful to have this frame recognized with a @thisisreportage award.
To everyone I’ve photographed- thank you for trusting me with your memories.

Floating market, Srinagar.
I first saw it in 2013, and in 2025 it still looks the same—boats drifting, waters calm. Yet in the ripples, it feels like a part of its old soul is missing.

We all grew up dreaming, after watching Discovery Channel, of living and eating with tribals.

Last year, I lived that dream. In Wamena, Indonesia, I documented the lives of the Dani tribe
an experience beyond surreal.

thank you @adichandra38 for everything you did for us.

And ofcourse @josephradhik @rajmohapatra thank you! taken in Wamena by @rajmohapatra
