Showered with rose water and petals, the bride glows as tradition comes alive around her. Hands of family and friends reach out, covering her in turmeric, sandalwood and blessings—each splash a gesture of love. Amid the laughter and fragrance of roses and spices, she sits wrapped in the warmth of a ritual that prepares her, not just for the wedding, but for the life about to unfold.

My love for photography began in childhood, running toward my dad’s camera during our family photo sessions. Fascinated by cameras long before I knew their purpose, I eventually studied Art & Design and began photographing professionally in 2014. Since then, I’ve documented hundreds of weddings across India and abroad, from intimate ceremonies to grand destination celebrations. Mentorships, fine arts, and my love for travel, design, and craft shape my work, making photography my way of preserving authentic human connections.
